Features aside, it depends what you want the watch to do. Looking at the two, if it is drawing attention to the watch, get the GMT. If it is strictly reliable time telling in subtle but very good looks, go with the Sub. I couldn't wear the GMT myself; too demanding of my eyes, which rest easily on the Sub.

Nice pair of photos, Terry, in fact good photos all. That GMT is mighty manly, Mike!

I prefer the classic style so I would go for SS Sub Date. GMTII C is too bling bling for me.

While I'm at it you might even consider a Milgauss or whatever.
The Milgauss is one of my next-favorite Rolexes. Nice crystal. Very nice watch.

The Sub is an Icon...........but then so is the GMT. The New GMT feels more substantial to me...........the bracelet is a HUGE improvement (from a tactile perspective, if nothing else). I gues it boils down to personal preference.............. I prefer the GMT llc, good luck either way

The GMTIIc will be in production for a LONG time....you can always get it somewhere down the road.

However, the sub date might be revised soon. The current model retains the classic look, feel and ruggedness of the Sub. I am leaning towards the SS Sub in this close fight.
