SS Sub vs SS GMTii??

[mhester]

If you can't really tell the difference yet I think you probably need to study them closer before making a decision. The more you look at them you will probably start to like one more than the other.

I really like the GMTIIc but the SubC would be my choice in SS. It is IMO the best tool watch on the market and classic Rolex. If I were to get a GMTIIc it would probably be a TT or YG unless they bring out a Coke or Pepsi in ceramic.

The Sub is great to wear daily as the brushed centre links don't show up scratches the same. The GMT is a bit more blingy with the polished centre links but will begin to show scuffs and scratches after a few months.

As they both have ceramic bezels you don't need to worry about putting dings into a metal bezel or scratching an aluminium bezel with either.

Both watches are stunning in the flesh - only you can make the right choice for you.

Good luck you are on to a winner either way.

That is a tough decision. I'd go with the Sub (116610 LN). I've tried both on, and the Sub is just so classic and gorgeous. The GMT with those Polished Center Links looks too much like a dress watch. If I was you, I'd get a 16610 older Submariner and a 16710 older GMT. Here's some pics, borrowed from the web.

I like the sub c more. More than likely will have a higher resale value than the gmtiic

If your not sure try them both on and you'll know pretty quick which you prefer.

Good luck!!!

thanks for all the help guys!!

drockadam: I can't see any difference between the new sub and the older sub in those pictures haha

I will be going to an AD tomorrow to check them out and maybe that will help me make a decision...I will let you guys know what the outcome is =)

I LOVE my new GMTIIc, it is my first of the "modern" Rolex.

Just came back from going to a few different ADs and I've decided on the Sub. Now I'm just waiting till we agree on a price =)

Going to vote gmt still. J/k I have both a gmt and a sea dweller.

Yeah. Me too! Get them both.
In fact, get them all.

Seriously, had my sub ss non date for a week and I'm in love.
Had a look at the GMTs and they didn't do puppy eyes and say "Buy me". Looked at my sub and it just said; "Me."


Oops! - just seen your last post - went for the GMT.

Well, that's the one that told you to take it home.

Cool. Congrats.



By the one you think you will love the most.

Simples!

GMTIIc is also using the PARACHROM HAIRSPRING

Another thread for your reference :

Try them both on and see which one you like the most or suits your style.
