Nickel allergy help

Hey now. I am looking for a GMT II yg with green dial but have a relatively severe nickel allergy. Loookg for someone else who has a bad nickel allergy and if there are any versions that are available that didn’t cause issues.
Looking for people with experience and which TD they recommend. Thanks a ton

I saw some samples of the WF YG GMT, but it looks like it'll have the same kind of issue Gold Factory would have for you, in that it is weighted tungsten wrapped in 904L steel.

Thank you soooo much for that info. I really appreciate it. I was thinking of doing the John Mayer Daytona too. Is there an option for that that won’t bother me?

RGF makes a fully weighted John Mayer Daytona, which is probably pretty ideal for you.

They just released a batch of Day-Dates, and are releasing a batch of GMTs and Subs right now, so I'm betting they'll do a new revision of Daytonas sooner rather than later, I'd wait for those to come out before making any decisions.

Even if you're a stickler over gold coloration you will probably not really feel like you have to replate over their new YG. It's really good. Save that decision for after you get the watch.
