Currently have a GMT 116710 as the daily beater and am thinking about flipping to a SubC 114060. Has anyone else done the same?

elkaholic · 7 January 2015, 10:55 AM

Never owned a GMT of any variation, although I did wear a pre-ceramic Pepsi SS model for a day or two and really liked the feel. I have a 14060m and would not even consider trading that for any GMT, simply because I love the feel on the wrist and the look of the dial and bezel over any on the GMT's.

I would add the sub, not flip for it. The GMT is one of the best all around watches out there, IMO.

Don't flip it! You'll likely regret it!

rolex_DateJust · 7 January 2015, 12:26 PM

Don't flip. Save some money and add that and make a collection

carreramay · 8 January 2015, 02:58 PM

An $8k watch is a beater? Wow.

Nycturbovr6 · 8 January 2015, 03:55 PM

Don't sell just add what you want

well surely he does not mean he purposefully damages it, my sub is my 'daily beater' meaning it doesn't take a special occasion to take her out into the world on my adventures.

rollerball · 9 January 2015, 12:25 AM

Any modern Rolex can be a daily wearer. Even the most expensive ones.

00pumpkin · 9 January 2015, 12:27 AM

I would flip it for a BLNR

mschafer · 9 January 2015, 12:34 AM

I want a Sub ND for the weekend and would never part from my GMTc which I is one of the more useful watches for my life...so I say, add to the collection.

me too!!

htc8p · 9 January 2015, 12:39 AM

i was able to try on an explorer 2.

i think it is the best everyday watch even better than the gmt2c. the 2mm makes all the difference

RawOysters · 9 January 2015, 12:41 AM

Thank you all for the input--gotta love TRF! Have decided to keep the 116710 as the daily wearer due to my love of the date function and save to add the 114060 in the (hopefully) soon future.

My advice as well.

RHIII · 9 January 2015, 02:48 AM

For me they are VERY VERY similar. I think it would be better just to have both. I wear a 116613 everyday although function wise...I think GMT is more useful...

Rockrolex · 9 January 2015, 02:55 AM

I have an all black Y-series GMT-II and it gets about 90% of my wrist time. My IWC 3756 gets about 8% and the remaining 2% is split among a bunch of other Rolexes, GP, JLCs, Glycines, Breitlings, and a few others.

I would keep the GMT as it is about the most useful watch there is, and add to the collection.

Grail · 9 January 2015, 03:05 AM

GMT is a great watch and one that shouldn't be replaced. I echo many on this thread and say you should add the no date.

Smart choice; so many stories of regret for the ones we let get away...

Exactly - well said

Urosfan · 9 January 2015, 04:27 AM

Just add instead if subtracting

Gerardus · 9 January 2015, 04:27 AM

Don't flip it! On my wrist the GMTc wears much more comfortable then this model SUB

Good decision. The GMT packs some useful functions you might miss.
Save for the Sub!!

regnant · 9 January 2015, 08:52 PM

It's one of the most versatile watches so you should keep it

dlubix · 9 January 2015, 09:12 PM

I would flip to SubC date.

dave_dave · 9 January 2015, 09:16 PM

Definitely keep the 116710.

I believe you wear a watch and not a beater,and any Rolex is for daily wearing that's what they are for.While beaters are something to beat with, like whisking eggs, or cream.
