Decisions, decisions; the sub or the GMT?
Totally gratuitous but I dont often see them together and today wore the 16710 for the first time in at least a year. Dont they look great together.
Which do you choose ? Sent from my SM-G9730 using Tapatalk |

Asking to chose one of these 2 beauties is a torturous request but if I really can't pick them both then I would stay with the SUB.

Two classic references. I can’t choose, it’d be like picking a favorite child

While being a beautiful piece, My sub hasn’t left the Watchbox since I got the GMT

If I had to choose, GMT. It's got more utility and I only dive about once a year on vacation.
That said, there is no wrong choice between these great watches. |

I have a sub, but I would chose the gmt if I could only have one as the look is almost identical but the versatility of the bezel options and bracelet makes the gmt the winner here.

Great combo! Between the two I would choose GMT. In fact, I just made this decision on December 23rd and sold my Sub. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Agree on GMT as well. Especially a pepsi. Just sold my no date sub (my first rolex ) for a BLNR. No regrets at all. Part of me wishes I had gotten a 5 digit pepsi instead ! Great looking watch.

Love both watches but would argue that there is room for both in a collection. The sub is very under the radar and is a good choice when you want to wear something nice but not go noticed (check recent thread regarding this on TRF). The GMT pop of color is very nice though I am partial to the batman personally

Well, seems you already chose, both of course.
Which to wear, flip a coin. I'd probably wear the GMT more because I get use of the second timezone. |

Between those two I would probably stick with the Pepsi but there is certainly room for both
