You all know this subject is destined to be addressed and debated, so let's get into it.

Bring it sub lovers!!

What's your opinions?

P.S. - The Sub C is nice too though.

Currently I have the SS Sub 16610 and the SS GMTiic so no place for the SubC at the $7500 price tag. If it comes down then may be...

New GMT is nice. i actually have a picture of it on my fridge torn from a GQ/Eqsuire mag, so i could keep my eyes on the prize. I actually liked everything on it except the shine down the middle of the bracelet. Size and all that was good.

AND WITH THAT SAID :).....

I purchased a new 116610 Sub this weekend.
HAHHAH

I think the one big disadvantage of the GMT-IIc is the PCLs. The new Sub-C bracelet doesn't have PCLs which is big difference for me. I do not like the PCLs at all. The scratch way too easily.

Congrats buddy!!!

I have to cast a vote for the GMTc

It just represents such a step up for the GMT model...

The Subc is pretty much just the same model with a couple of tweaks..

No one would mistake a GMTc for a classic GMT...

But the Sub c and a sub classic, are pretty similar from 3 ft away..

I agree 100%.

Two different watches. I'm not for the green accents on the new GMT.

Ceramic sub for me

DCgator · 10 August 2010, 11:31 AM

GMT IIc has my vote....

timeisfathaoftruth · 10 August 2010, 02:27 PM

Real real nice, yes...Cooler, no.

presario · 10 August 2010, 03:44 PM

Cooler? Depends on who you ask. Flashier? Definitely. And I'm all for it.

fly4food84 · 10 August 2010, 04:05 PM

I like the GMTIIc better, but I like the bezel of the SUB better. I think the GMT is more practical and I love the green hand, but the SUB looks more fashionable.

EZZELDIN · 10 August 2010, 05:14 PM

They are both cool and nice.
They are both iconic and well recognised.

petespendthrift · 10 August 2010, 06:29 PM

The Sub-c has the good looks and more classic appeal of it's all brushed bracelet and slightly more conservative number size/font on the bezel.

However, the GMT-2c suffers less ubiquity and is far more useful. After all, any Rolex can be worn for 99.999% of all diving applications - sufficient water resistance is an everyday feature common to all models. Once the nasty PCLs have been brushed out the GMT wins as it also features a smaller (more comfortable) clasp and has a slimmer profile on the wrist.

GMT II has my vote!

Bond vs Magnum PI - enough said.

train-time · 11 August 2010, 01:47 AM

IMO, they make a great pair and compliment each other very well

Gerardus · 11 August 2010, 02:16 AM

Both great

RRGHOST1 · 11 August 2010, 04:32 AM

Both are great watches in their own right and i like GMTs more than the Sub,but i don't like the green hand on the GMT IIc or the green writing.

meisen6501 · 11 August 2010, 05:22 AM

I have had the GMT II C seven times. (I am crazed) but now I have the sub c LV and the one that beats both DSSD. I am all set
