Submariner vs GMT

[interestedinwatches]

Both in Stainless Steel

Any GMT, ie Pepsi, Batman or LN, vs any Submariner -- date, no date, Kermit, Hulk.

6 digit series

GMT can be on Jubilee or PCL Oyster

What do you ultimately choose?

[Turbo Racer]

Gmt for me. Color choices are better however, a green sub is a force to be reckoned with

[luster]

As great as it is, the submariner has become so ubiquitous that it doesn't really do anything for me. GMT is more interesting

This.

[Golfbone]

Sub.

[Harry-57]

GMT would be my first choice because the bi directional bezel is more versatile and the dual time function is something I use frequently. I also like a date function and the cyclops works for me. Ideally, both are worthy additions to a collection and will compliment each other nicely.

I'm in the BLRO Oyster + LV camp.

For me, GMT. The extra time zone(s) are actually useful. My diving is limited to a swimming pool

[Benzsiam]

Pepsi/Batman = Hulk/Kermit

Pepsi/Batman > Sub LN

Hulk/Kermit > GMT LN

GMT LN = Sub LN

GMT is more useful imo. But I do appreciate brushed bracelet and timing bezel.

The answer is buy both.

+1

GMT

The sub is awesome, but as a tool watch I feel the GMT is more purposeful, less pretentious (unless you actually dive with your Sub...)

[Stan Cooper]

GMT BLRO for me; I use the dual time zone complication several times a day. It's also great for recreational diving, so for me there's nothing the sub can do that can't be done with the GMT, but the GMT features are more useful to me.

[springer]

Easy choice for me.

[JRell]

I can’t believe I did it. I voted GMT. The blnr with jubilee is the perfect watch, my son will have the 124060 at some point. The blnr is amazing.

[Arid]

I voted GMT but I can’t stand PCLs!

I’m in agreement with this assessment. The only things missing here are the transverse properties.

[RareBird]

Own the Pepsi and Sub LN and find myself reaching for the sub a whole lot more but if I had to choose just one def the Pepsi. Might be a different story if my LN was an LV

[sunnygps]

For me, GMT will always win over a Sub.

[Seddyspaghetti]

Gmt by a hair if i had to choose

[horseco]

the clasp on the Sub is wayyyy too long.

[srmatth82]

I have the Hulk, BLNR on oyster, and ND Sub (114060) in my collection. The ND sub probably edges out the BLNR for wrist time, then the Hulk. But I feel like I need all three.

[SPACE PEPSI]

Submariner (no date)

[jstan9]

Any GMT.

[massie8250]

Sub for me all day.

Surprised by outcome of the poll, as at the time of writing 62% for GMT.

[Ollie1982]

Sub for me and it isn’t really close. The bezel on the Sub is far more useful than a third time zone (don’t even need to know a second timezone) and I appreciate the simplicity and symmetry of the Submariner.

Both.

GMT for the extra functionality ; splash of colour and that the Jubilee bracelet dresses up with a suit for those evening cocktail/dinners where a dress watch is not mandated.

I personally prefer the BLNR on Jubilee for this purpose. You can wear it with everything. Followed closely by the SubC (sans date)

GMT for me! I love/need the second and third time zone!

[RolexPD]

Don’t like dates on watches. Don’t like PCLs.

Sub all day.

[NewbieRollie]

Subs. I tend to wear it more than GMTs

It all comes down to complications... GMT by a nose but not the new BLRO... those colours just ain't right, for me.
