Have owned both and to be honest, from a distance the GMT looks like a sub. Bracelet on the GMT will show scratches easily compared to the sub. Wasn't too crazy about the super case on the sub. it will depend on what you like. no wrong answer. If it were the newer sub then I would lean to the sub otherwise I prefer the GMT. Good luck.

GMT. It is just a more interesting watch.

Both beautiful watches, whichever you buy you will want the other eventually. Since you committed on the sub, I would go with that and if I had to choose one I think I would actually choose a sub over GMT.

I had both, but sub still in the stable. Didn’t need the GMT function. Both equally deserving watches.

My expertise starts and finishes with 'whats that watch' to thread count 1000 for the technical specifications and understanding everything the web has to offer.

From what I've seen and read, I can notably understand the difference. Visually, a layman should pick up the different brackets and their reflections, and the green additional hand.

I'm wondering, with people in my situation, what seems more appropriate.

I probably won't wear this daily, as wearing one in my line of work is not recommended. Yes for formal events, and nights out. I'm a bit show-y per se, and I don't mind the bling. I know once I've caught the reflection of something, and it was an black sub, but looking back, perhaps it was this GMT? Dumb and question, what would be able to glisten more? Is the polished really visually different in light then the brushed?

I like the feeling of a classic indestructible watch originally which means the Sub, however I love the feeling of being a sub but different, which leads me to the GMT. I'm so torn.

Oh I have never been into things like watches and cars, however me hitting mid 30 my personal tastes have changed. Please let me know your thoughts. I've got 4 hours.

Hey, Brian! Don’t you just hate when folks draw us into their drama, then disappear? It’s like watching a play, and falling asleep before the denouement. Frustrating!
