[Rolex-uae]

Hi everyone

I need to buy new rolex watch, It will be my first Rolex watch
What do you think, GMT master ii black blue or Submariner black

[PascalSwiss]

A poll would be a good thing here...

[kmwrestle]

I'm in the same boat and going with the submariner. I feel it has more of a timeless forever stigma to it...better chances you will Always keep your first rolex ;)

Batman... one and done!!!

[locutus49]

I think you can't go wrong with either. My preference is for the Sub, but it is your preference that matters.

[r8t3d_M]

Try on both and purchase the one YOU like most..after all, you'll be the one wearing it..

[ntmain]

It all come down to preferences. I don't think you can go wrong with either one.

My first Rolex is a sub.

[gccmd]

The Sub is a classic. I got a Sub as my first Rolex in 1991. It still gets 95% of my wrist time in spite of the fact that I now have 3 others.

[Amex4711]

Batman, for sure

[Panych]

My choice is a sub although a gmt is very good for travelers.

Unless you have a specific need for the GMT I would tell you Submariner. The Glide lock clasp on the Submariner is worth the price of admission and the polished bracelet on the GMT is a scratch magnet.

Thank you all

I will choose the Submariner, But what do you think about the green one (Hulk)?
Or black because its my first Rolex

[PascalSwiss]

What you like better ? Black or green ?

[Panych]

Either one is amazing. Pick what you like more.
Black is more versatile and classic, in my view.

I had exact same dilemma and trust me it was a huge decision and was in AD for two hours after loads of research etc
I was all set to buy a gmt and tried both on
For me the sub just felt better amd wasn't as bling as gmt which I prefer when it's on
I honestly don't think you can go wrong with either but what I will say is I think from everyone I spoke to AD and grey market guys they would far rather buy in a sub
I know one guy in Glasgow said they would pay more than list for the sub as has a big waiting list for ND or date they are both as sought after
I went for ND as preferred the look personally but the gmt is lovely I just preferred the sub on and the quick clasp is amazing
Both great watches sub is a classic and will always be worth what you pay if not more !!!

I purchased my first ROLEX in March of this year. I decided with the Batman. I love it more with each day that passes. Would highly recommend.

I have never understood the allure of the Submariner, although it seems to be the leader of the pack. My contention is that maybe 1 in 1000 actually dives, and 999 of 1000 travels. The GMT function while traveling is a great complication. When I go to Australia, it's a 15 hr time difference, and a nuisance to figure out the time at home. I usually ask my iphone for the correct time at home.....but with the GMT, you can easily track 2, or even 3 time zones....how often are you going to have to monitor your underwater time??? Probably never....get either the Batman, or the Explorer II...that's my vote!!!

[PLNYC]

Rolexes aren't cheap so don't rush your decision. I like the sub for their brushed bracelet and glidelock. I went for the GMT first though because I don't dive and I travel a lot so the GMT was more ideal. The green sub is definitely an amazing piece. I wear find myself staring at it when I'm bored

Sub No Date

[watchmework]

You indicated you wanted the Sub and for your first I'd go black...that's what I did.

That said, if you have the opportunity to try both on I would do that prior to buying.

[turbineboy]

The black sub..... demonstrates a timeless design that has proven true over the years. A classic.
However the GMT is a functional watch. Own both and while I like the sub... The GMT is what stays on the wrist longer.
As this is a first....take your time before you make the choice.

[Xerxes77]

Sub remain the most iconic watch from Rolex!

[DocMorpheus]

Can't go wrong with either. Get the Batman and save for the Sub. Believe me, you will need the other one after you get the first one...

[roguy]

I would say the Sub. More versatile and looks really sleek. But then again if you are worried about people judging you by the watch your wearing I would go with the GMT as I feel like its less popular and doesnt attract too much attention.

[Rolex-uae]

Thank you everyone

[Rolex-uae]

I get get the submariner black

[MJ8]

Hi

I was in the very same dilemma not so long ago.

It was either the Rolex Submariner Date or the GMT Master II.

I could not choose between the two, I don't travel much and I definitely do not dive. Both awesome watches and look very similar.

In the end I went for the Submariner Date simply because the authorised dealer near me who had the Submariner Date in stock was able to offer 2 Year 0% finance and the other dealer with the GMT Master II wasn't able to offer any finance.
