GMT Master II or Submariner Date

[willski]

I'm curious - what's peoples' definition of travel a lot?

[Matdaytona]

1st would be a 16610

[Vomtaylor]

Im in this exact same boat right now too.. only diff is I have a Explorer II.. so I already have a gmt watch and a sport band.... The GMT II is nice because it a little more dress, but the sub is a sub, and brings that classic rolex look... and with only $100 price diff that dosent help at all..

[waymaker]

The GMT is infinitely valuable if you work n different time zones or travel alot...
that being said, I stopped taking the GMT surfing because it would get sand under the bezel... if you are going to do serious ocean sports then you cant go wrong with the sub.

I've had both but settled on the sub for the everyday

[blue lion]

I initially decided on the GMT II just to be a bit different. But I wanted a blue face so the Sub won out. Either way enjoy.

GMTII I like the bezel options before the redesign. After the redesign I still like the look of the GMT II Ceramic over the Sub Ceramic.
As for function dual time is more useful than diving function for me.

[cwb]

Like them both, prefer the GMT for business and the SUB for more casual dress.

[Double Trouble]

Both are awesome watches. I wear my GMT most days.

[Super 80]

The GMT has a date. The Sub Date does not have a GMT hand. Are you with me? :-)

Jokes to the side, go to the AD and buy the one you like the most. You are the one to wear the watch.

[ktam]

if you are a traveller, go for the GMT-IIc. for non-traveller, get the Sub-c.

GMT IIc

[aronutopia]

I am getting both. but sub 1st.

[spider boy]

I love the 16610 casing and the brushed bracelets, regardless of the fact that it's going to stretch like what others mentioned !

[RBNY]

For me, the Sub is what got my attention and introduced me to Rolex. The GMTIIC is what got me to buy a Rolex. Both are great watches and I think that the Sub is the "quintessential" Rolex if there ever was one but I find the GMT function more inline with my needs.

As many have stated, they're both great choices.

[Retread]

Both are excellent watches.

I do not own a GMT, but is on the list so either would make a fine choice.

[Double Trouble]

I bought the Gmt2 first and then the SubC. I can't say one is better than the other so you can't really make the wrong choice.

[gc1969]

I went through the same dilemma and ultimately went for the GMT
Sounds wierd, but there is something about the quietly rotating green 24hr hand which I find soothing and I like the additional "complication" of the quickest hour hand.

As others have noted, the scratches on the PCLs are annoying, but any watch will scratch if used as a daily wearer

Good luck with your decision - both are solid

[MCV]

I went with the GMT II with ceramic bezel on stainless and absolutely love it. But as many others have said, you can't go wrong with either.

Cheers,

Had the same dilemma but ended up with the Sub. Though I travel quite a bit, for a first Rolex, I had to go with the most iconic.

[h999r]

Sub

[rogerling75]

Feel the weight on the Sub C.. Would say that it is more solid than the GMT..

[Joey_V]

I will say that SubC for your first watch.

That said, I have not been able to pry my GMTIIC from my wrist since the beginning of the week. The Sub and all the rest of my Rolexes are in the drawer, sleeping.

[Lendo]

It depends on what you want. I'd go for the GMT II as I see mostly Subs when I'm out.

[Ds650quad]

GMT all the way !

[Soly20]

I just bought the GMT II as my first rolex, love it. Both are nice though.

[Lmbeauleap]

Go with the Sub. If everyone has a Sub maybe my GMT will mirraculously double in value.

[TAKUYA]

i just traded my used rolex gmt IIc for the brand new one.

[mv6187]

I love them both but I am a GMT guy more than Sub. Both look excellent and have the handsome Rolex look but why not gain a feature?
