Ive owned both and I like both. If I had to pick, I guess I'd go with the GMT.

TickTockChuck · 19 April 2017, 09:53 AM

That's a tough call as I wanted both when I started with Rolex (and now fortunately have both), but I would have to give the edge to the Submariner due to it's iconic status and pure classic design. Love them both though! Cheers!

Sub. I love GMT masters but I'm not actually a huge fan of the GMT complication. Or the bezel.

Benjamin Choi · 19 April 2017, 09:59 AM

Pepsi gmt ceramic best looking

If forced steel only I'd get the subc.

Don't NEED gmt but still prefer it. Both are must though

DRKBC · 19 April 2017, 10:07 AM

I love both, it would be a tough choice. The GMT complication is really, really handy but I love the look of the sub and the bracelet, it is the perfect all day, any day watch. Probably from a versatility point of view it would have to be the GMT. I am glad I don't have to make that decision.

I would have go with the GMT. I don't have a Sub and never will. I just don't like them.

DaveLemi · 19 April 2017, 10:22 AM

Not a fan of the GMT bezel- Sub for me.

GMT every time

i like the extra GMT hand which makes the watch look cooler and better

Wcdhtwn · 19 April 2017, 10:48 AM

I chose GMT. But I already had a Seamaster, Sub seemed redundant (opinions will vary) so I didn't really consider it. I'm not sure what I'd have chosen if I didn't have the Sea master... diver seems like the right watch to start a collection. But I'm super happy with the GMT... also it not being as common as the Sub is nice.

All the GMT hand does for me is end up blocking the date window every time I'm looking for the date.

Spectre007 · 19 April 2017, 11:13 AM

I'd say GMT for the functionality but since I never travel I don't need it.
So I guess I'll revert to my favorite. A two tone bluesey 11613

AboutTime · 19 April 2017, 11:28 AM

I travel only a few times a year and I prefer the Sub. I initially chose the Sub over the GMT primarily based upon the appearance of the bezel. I now find prefer fewer complications on my watches and the GMT complication makes date setting more tedious. I find it pretty easy to reset the time on my Sub when I change time zones. But, if I traveled to different time zones every week I might prefer the GMT.

Bigsykedaddy · 19 April 2017, 11:32 AM

Submariner because of the less busy bezel, glide lock clasp, rotating graduated bezel, less busy dial, no polished center links and the extra depth rating makes it tougher (in my mind at least)

arguetaoscar · 19 April 2017, 11:35 AM

GMT, for the additional complication.

GMT all the way. . .

Though I wouldn't mind owning both

kboy2379 · 19 April 2017, 02:57 PM

Sub was my pick. If the GMT didn't have PCL, then that would be a harder choice for me.

dadonn2 · 19 April 2017, 03:04 PM

Submariner- glidelock and prefer the dimensions.

Sydny2 · 19 April 2017, 04:07 PM

Sub - a must have in collection. Classic and less busy bezel.

manhattanproj · 19 April 2017, 04:22 PM

i debated over the same 2 watches. settled on the gmt. it sits a bit better on my wrist. the sub is a bit taller. will look to add a sub or explorer in the future tho.

Difficult 50/50 for me.

HogwldFLTR · 19 April 2017, 05:37 PM

Only one then GMT's away!!!! Luckily I own both.

amg55 · 19 April 2017, 05:49 PM

I have both. It'd be Batman for me. I like the GMT function when travelling.

RMC12 · 19 April 2017, 07:04 PM

I have owned both and do love the GMT. However, I now have 3 Subs and no GMT's! I would love to add another GMT at some point but if it was a straight choice of only owning one or the other the Sub would win hands down!

sager · 19 April 2017, 07:30 PM

Close call but it would be GMT for me.

My first Rolex is incoming now and it's a GMT (LN not BLNR) so question answered but I would like a sub one day.I have an MM300 so didn't want a second dive watch, but likely would have gone GMT anyway, love the GMT complication and will use it.
Why can't I stop reading this forum, is there an antivenom?
