I travel a lot and the GMT is a very useful feature. However, even if I didn't travel, I find the bezel on the GMT to be much more attractive than the Sub bezel. The bezel on the GMTIIc is even better since the numbers are a bit heavier and of course the ceramic is fantastic. My opinion of course. Plenty of others prefer the classic sub.

I love the GMT, but I think the Sub ND is just so classy

Its a timeless design that is pretty much unchanged since its inception! Obviously Rolex thinks its a good design too!

Ones a Classic and the other the New World;

I chose the GMT IIc as I love all the upgrades and its look fits my Mon-Thu business dress perfectly! Wearing it right now ………simply gorgeous from every angle.

Sub is a cool looking and functioning piece too of course but my vote remains GMT IIc for this poll.

However if you mean something like this....... (By the way there's no such thing as a Sub no date, it's simply a Submariner.)

Mike that's not fair, a 5513 is IMHO a different class than the 14060M.

I would rank as follows:
1. 5513 Sub (especially yours as it is mint);
2. GMTIIC;
3. 14060M Sub.

I can overlook the 24 hour hand but not the date function. I'd say GMTC.

Both are great watches.
I voted for the GMT IIc purely because I like to know the date.
