Sub and GMT cases.

Hello

Can anyone tell me if Subs and GMTs have the same cases please?

I know that the case back is different, but I'm wondering about the case itself.

Thanks.

I’m assuming you’re looking to compare the 114060 and the 126710. In that case, you’re correct in that the GMT is thinner because of the case back but the GMTs lugs one the new models are also ever so slightly more tapered than those on the current Subs. Other than that I believe they share similar dimensions.

The GMT midcase is actually slightly thicker than the Sub case.

No, they are not machined the same.
