Submariner or GMT-master ii?

The Glidelock bracelet on the Sub is Rolex's dive extension and is found only on the dive watches. The GMT has the Easylink folding link adjustment in the clasp.

Both are great, and no wrong choice!

Would someone please tell me what the PCL is that's missing from GMT?

Thanks.

I like both, blue and black looks good

GMT for me

[The Libertine]

The Submariner; I just can't get past the polished center links....

Only one correct answer. Both!

For my 1st I went with a GMT since it has more utility for me - I actually use the GMT feature. I believe any GMT will remain relevant due to ease of travel and constant communication across time zones.

The Sub, the Daytona - must be justified more on emotion.

it bugs me how the 24 hr hand is on top of the regular hands on the GMT II's

For me it's the sub, the half link hidden in the clasp if used as a replacement of a full link gives me the perfect fit!

BLNR! Many Rolex owners travel and are adventurous! The Explorer II is also a great choice and embodies both the sub and GMT!

Gmt ii has several things i dont like: 1. Extra hand that is not often used 2. Date adjustment is a pain 3. Bezel is not as useful as the sub for timing, but that's because I dont travel much 4. PCL

I personally think it's overrated due to its "newness", and the premium (pre-owned) over the black bezel GMT is not justified.

Now i'm putting on my flame goggles

This exactly. I cannot justify paying such an enormous premium on this watch. IMHO the Sub is iconic and timeless.

GMT. More bang for the buck.

Sub for sure.

I'm not a fan of PCL's and the extra hand on the GMT dial seems distracting to me in photos, although I'm sure if I owned one that extra hand would not be an issue when looking at it frequently to check the time.

I love the blue/black ceramic bezel and the bracelet of the new GMT-master ii, but I also love how iconic the Submariner is.

What would you rather get and why?

Thanks :)

I would get both (and did) in five digit reference much preferring the earlier models over the latter ones!!!

Had the BLNR just for color but eventually caught up to me as I am not a fan of GMT watches to much going on the bezel / never a need for multiple timezones.

I have the Sub C little cleaner and always like dive watches even though I don't dive.

SubC Date was my first Rolex and now I have a BLNR. I much prefer the GMT over the Sub because I don't dive and won't need the extra water resistance, the GMT complication is useful, and watch is better proportioned and therefore fits my wrists better. Only thing I like about the Sub better than the GMT is the Glidelock.

Forgot to mention - that is a great collection!

I have a GMT-II and a Sub and I much prefer the Sub. Try them both on, see what you like.
