Just wanting some thoughts from the forum. I'm a new forum member and I'm trying to decide between another sub or gmt batman. I've had three subs ( two tone black, black and the Kermit) and enjoyed all three.
I sold the Kermit a while back and made a great profit from original purchase and used it partially toward another investment ('17 M3)
Things have settled and I'm looking between another sub or the gmt batman to which I have never owned one.
Thanks to all

Which Sub? Any?

sub

Snoop_ · 21 January 2018, 09:24 AM

Sub No Date 144060 .

T816B · 30 January 2018, 09:42 PM

Since you never had the GMT, why not go for the Batman? But if you are comparing Hulk and Batman, then I would prefer Hulk.

brandrea · 30 January 2018, 09:48 PM

It sounds like the Subs didn’t stick ... I’d go try on a BLNR or an LN and see how you like them.

Maybe you’re a flipper at heart

dualcarb · 30 January 2018, 09:59 PM

Having previously owning three subs, why not take a different route this time and go GMT?

vacano · 30 January 2018, 11:33 PM

Great first post. What a dilema to have. My vote is the GMT

Grunta22 · 10 February 2018, 07:24 AM

I’ve had the Batman for 3 months and I look at it (as you do) and just don’t think it looks as good as the Sub ( I have the 16610). I think the glossy pictures of the batman look better than the real life version.

sunnyd · 10 February 2018, 11:35 AM

You're investing in a 2017 BMW M3? Not sure how that''s an investment

elysium73 · 11 February 2018, 08:27 AM

I vote for the GMT, but that's because I'm partial to that function over the divers.

Spoonage · 11 February 2018, 10:39 AM

I have a BLNR and SubC... Between the 2 I choose the BLNR... In fact the SubC is probably my least worn watch in my collection.

DanielWatson · 11 February 2018, 03:58 PM

Submariner date black

loobster09 · 13 February 2018, 08:40 PM

I am more of a GMT kinda guy so i vote GMT

I have the BLNR and really like it but the glossy pictures do make it look incredible nice -maybe a bit too much. Do have a look in real life before buying so no regrets. I have none!

Hulk or batman 👌👌 both investments

101031-28 · 19 February 2018, 03:53 AM

I love the Submariner, have a 116610LN but between the BLNR and 114060, the GMT gets my vote.

rogue828 · 19 February 2018, 09:57 AM

I'm going to wait on the new sub date. Basel 18, my guess is a new movement, same case as the new SD? Thanks to all!

meganfox17 · 20 February 2018, 08:12 PM

You're investing in Batman?
We have the Hulk.....

1William · 20 February 2018, 09:46 PM

I would go with the Submariner-C ND 114060. Perfectly balanced dial and the Submariner seems to work for you. Save some funds over the Submariner Date or the BLNR.

Dan stillwood · 20 February 2018, 11:20 PM

I would prefer the GMT.

superdog · 20 February 2018, 11:24 PM

IMHO, GMT is a more functional watch. That would be my call.

nwcdweller · 20 February 2018, 11:33 PM

I would get the one you have not owned yet, which would be the Batman.
Should hold your attention a bit longer I suppose versus another sub.

watchwatcher · 21 February 2018, 12:30 AM

I'm reading that you still have two subs...if that's the case, I would go with the GMT.

I would go to a dealer and try a few on, however. There may be something else out there.

Speed · 21 February 2018, 12:32 AM

Branch out - get a GMT.

At the end of the day, it’s very similar to the Sub from a look and feel stand point - dial, plots, bezel style... so your not risking much.

Xerxes77 · 21 February 2018, 06:20 AM

I choose Sub

DandyAnt · 21 February 2018, 06:35 AM

I’d go sub too. I have a blur, a hulk and a subc. Sub would still win for me (prob black).

I generally say Submariners are the best investment, but if you're debating between a Batman and a Sub, I'd say Batman.

Mrcoach32 · 21 February 2018, 06:39 AM

First thing I'd do is check out the PCL's and see if that's something you could do regularly. I have both, but purchased an extra 97200 bracelet for my BLNR. I thought the PCL's would grow on me, but they didn't.
