I don't see any issues with owning both.

I believe this is Kyu's WG GMT

Danny83 · 17 July 2014, 04:21 PM

Both are great

Shelby-villian · 17 July 2014, 04:36 PM

OP, welcome to the world of rolex. :) Wait till you learn the differences about gilt, radial, Bart Simpson, underline, etc etc...

Ah yes, I see the reference number now that you mentioned it. Thanks.

joli160 · 17 July 2014, 05:13 PM

My wife thinks they're all the same

, I appreciate the history and function of both models and certainly understand why would anyone own both even if fitted with LN.

lodewijk · 17 July 2014, 05:46 PM

I think for the layman's they will look the same (especially LN versions) and they won't see the difference until you tell them (e.g. bezel, clasp, PCLs, GMT function). For me they look very different and could be in one collection for sure.

Bangel · 17 July 2014, 06:15 PM

Sure, the LN Subs and GMTs aren't the most different watches in the world, but to the watch enthusiast, they can be planets apart.

Also, I think if you like one, it may be that you like that particular style of watch, so it makes sense that you would find the other appealing as well and want to own both.

It's all about function, my good man.

Yes, the watches do have a lot of superficial similarities, but they are two completely different watches with significantly different complications.

Do some reading on the subject and I think you'll understand why both exist and why some of us like the idea of owning both and actually find uses for both.

I don't have any pictures of my 14060M and my 116710 together, but I have the next best thing, maybe.

I will always hope to add the LVC and BLNR again at some point.

You did the right things, Chris.

For me two SS black dials would be too similar, I would prefer them in different metals and could even have two Subcs with this criteria.

fishingbear · 17 July 2014, 11:47 PM

Maybe it's just me but I see quite the variety...

azguy · 17 July 2014, 11:58 PM

How can you say they look alike

Killer collection.

Great variety while maintaining focus. Well done.

Ferdelious · 18 July 2014, 12:16 AM

I own both as well, and I would even say you can make 1 GMT look totally different with bezel and band options. They are both tool watches with different functionality, if one was actually a pilot and diver he/she would need both

Roller07 · 18 July 2014, 12:34 AM

Similar?

Beef · 18 July 2014, 12:51 AM

Why would any one own both?

Beef · 18 July 2014, 12:52 AM

Damned it I know......

Beef · 18 July 2014, 12:54 AM

Makes no sense to me!!

I understand the difference in functionality of the watch. Im talking bout the appearance. It has the exact same bezel (black ceramic, only the numbers are different), exact same lugs, exact same hour markers, exact same bracelet, exact same hour and minute hands. If these two watches are not similar looking then I don't know which 2 watches are. I can assure you to someone who doesn't know about watches, won't be even to tell the difference.

As for the functionality, I don't dive neither il be using the second timezone much, so thats out. I just like the look of the Sub/GMT.

The best looking rolex that I like is the Sub/GMT. I already own a TT Sub 116613 and a DDII YG. But since I saw the Sub/GMT full gold, I've fallen in love with it. I feel I need to get the full gold version. Now I'm thinking wither I flip my TT sub 116613 for a full gold one? or just simply buy a new Full gold GMT II?..I find the 2 very similar to each other, and owning both a TT and a full gold in black dial (the only dial i like) is a sane idea or not?... hence the question.

HORNBLOWER · 18 July 2014, 09:25 AM

What's similar about these?

14060m · 18 July 2014, 09:35 AM

I love them both

inLine4 · 18 July 2014, 09:41 AM

Best of both worlds,

It depends on if you have another watch you want after, maybe AP or PP. If so then trade up to a gold sub, if not then add the YG GMTc. But don't forget the Pepsi Ceramic is coming out later this year so you might want that as the GMTc.

Sammk · 18 July 2014, 09:51 AM

My plan is to add a YG Sub/GMT and AP ROC 41mm in pink gold and strap like the one you have. I think you're right it'l be a better idea to the flip the TT sub for a YG version. So eventually il end up having a YG sub or YG GMT (haven't decided which one as yet), YG DDII and a AP ROC 41mm in pink gold and strap. After this my collection is complete

. Il delete my account, not think of watches and never return to TRF ever again :P

Oh I wonder how many of us thought this to them selves and came back to the addiction lol

The ap ROC is a fine piece
Although not on strap I have a blue dial Ss bracelet and love it !

U will not be disappointed

SUBversive · 18 July 2014, 10:06 AM

To the trained eye they are completely different to justify having both. If you don't think so you haven't been reading here long enough.
