Between the two, neither for me.
I would consider a black TT sub instead.

SubC blue dial doesnt work for me and finds there are too much gold/yellow in the GMTIIc bezel.

Gmt iic

I prefer the TT GMT IIC. It is a classic watch PLUS you do not see too many of them out and about. The new ceramic "smurf" blue is too dull compared to the old bluesy.

Absolutely agree. On ceramic Subs , not the same intensity as the Ceramic GMT IIc / TT. I wonder why?

I had to make a similar decision recently. but eventually went for the TT GMT,
BUT the Blue sub is still calling me so it may be my next Rolex Purchase. Both are superb and yet totally differant. Either way you cant go wrong

I own the SS GMT IIC and the TT Blue Ceramic Sub. Definitely for me the Sub in TT.

The Blue is not smurfy at all though I did like the older blue better on the older TT Subs the blue on the new one really grew on me.

GMT, though if you included the black TT Sub it would be a no contest for me!

How about actually picking a watch with the functions that you might actually use

If you travel or have loved ones in other time zones the GMT would be perfect for you, if you are more of a boater, surfer, water lifestyle guy pick the sub.

Had both and the Blue doesn't do it for me so I'd go with the GMT or a black TT sub

Both are nice but to me the TT GMT looks better. IMO, the blue is a little over the top for a TT and cheapens the appearance. My next Rolex will definitely be the TT GMT.
