Not expert but:

GMT: 2nd (& 3rd) timezone, 4 hands, a bit shallower between crystal & dial, smaller crown, 100m

Yacht: bigger hour markers ("maxi" dial), heavier, slightly different shaped case, large crown, 100m

Sub: large crown, 300m, deeper between crystal & dial.

While essentially the same movement the YM and Sub date use the 3135 yet with the 24 hr feature of the GMT it's a 3185.

Too many things to list, but what Mike and Morgman said is pretty good.

The Yacht Master also has polished links in the band and has a Platinum dial.

YM subject to defects, has an imperfect blue hue causing owners to flip it for superior blue Sub previously owned. Can't think of anything else.

Hi Freddy,

Here's a simple summary:

1. Sub - Diver's watch.
2. GMT - Pilot's watch.
3. YM - Yachtie's watch.
4. SS and TT Subs - JJ's watches!!!

Cheers - JJ
