GMT 2 of course.

1. The platinum numbers on the GMT 24 hour bezel insert.
2. Rolex green. The hunter green GMT hand and the "GMT Master II" on the dial. Green being the signature color for Rolex and signifies 50th anniversary models.
3. The shiny PCLs. Yes I said the PCLs. Plus the satin brushed links on the rest of the sturdy oyster bracelet.
4. Flatter case back. Sits on the wrist better.
5. Thinner lugs that taper to the bracelet better, smoother more elegant. Not as an abrupt width change from the case to the bracelet like with the Sub.
6. GMT hand; track three time zones.

In that configuration, for me has to be the sub.

Grace · 23 September 2018, 04:55 PM

For me it’s the Sub. Brushed bracelet is far better as an every day wearer than the PCL GMT.

I agree with the GMT being “busy” compared to the Sub

I voted Sub of course but I love that pic. My favorite 6 digit versions.

Sub. Looks better & much easier to live with daily.

I think the GMT is easier to live with daily at it has wider hands making it easier to read at a glance.

I had the GMT & the pcl’s kill it for me as far as a daily goes. Null and void on a tool watch.

GMT and a 114060

UnicoJG · 24 September 2018, 10:04 AM

Both are nice timepieces, however, as a daily the SS Sub it hard to beat!

Excellent, and very easy to use. I have a BLNR and much prefer it to the sub because I see subs everywhere. However, between these two I would probably choose the sub. I think the gmt really needs a dual color bezel.

The Sub to me is a classic you can never go wrong.

LndLord · 24 September 2018, 11:10 AM

gmt

Gmt+10 · 24 September 2018, 11:13 AM

Both great as stated by others. I had a choice between the 114060, GMT LN, AND BLNR. I purchased the 114060 because I had no need for the complication and loved the balance and symmetry of the 114060.
Go with GMT if you need the complication and don't mind the PCLs.

subprimero · 24 September 2018, 12:33 PM

The Sub because it is more discreet. My favorite is the no date.

Prestige_Swiss · 24 September 2018, 01:42 PM

Sub. Love the brushed bracelet

rkim11 · 24 September 2018, 10:44 PM

I think the GMT just looks better and cooler.

904VT · 24 September 2018, 11:39 PM

Setting the time on a GMT if power goes down is a pain in the butt. I'd use the Sub as a daily any day, especially with the stainless bracelet and the most perfect clasp ever made on a watch, aka the Glidelock

Scapegoat · 25 September 2018, 01:01 AM

My heart says Sub, my wrist shows GMT... just goes to show that we can never be satisfied...

R!$ · 25 September 2018, 01:13 AM

What about a Sky-D or DJ with black dial?

dualcarb · 25 September 2018, 01:24 AM

Can’t seem to choose between these two as I also love a black and steel sports Rolex...so the only remedy? Get em both...

Then throw in the Milgauss GV for a touch of cheekiness and fun :)

I had my PCLs brushed on my LN and that made a big difference for me.

tyler1980 · 25 September 2018, 03:24 AM

very, very similar to me. I picked the GMT because its basically a sub in appearance and in every way i would use it but it has a GMT hand for travel

Submariner 116610 LN

Stevec14 · 25 September 2018, 03:26 AM

I’d go GMT over sub in any variation. I just think they are more interesting to look at, have a function I use and wear slightly flatter which is good for me.

BVLDARI · 25 September 2018, 03:40 AM

If I was doing one watch only I would go for the GMT. It has more functionality. But cant go wrong with either.
