We're looking at the poll from different angles. I simply looked at it in terms of which watch people on TRF want and prefer and why; on this poll so far and in public, there's slightly more demand for the BLNR, yes. But, I took your previous post as meaning that people prefer the BLNR because because there's more demand for it. That's not the case IMO just based on the comments in this thread, for example.

They're related. "What do you want" or "What do you prefer" translates into demand. The MSRP multiplier is a result of the demand, not a cause.

For me the dive bezel is pointless.

So GMT.

Tough choice but GMT for me

Did I or someone else say "Both!" yet?

If not..

Both!

Kenny G · 30 July 2022, 11:53 AM

I voted black sub. The LN GMT would be closer for me….but ya, sub.

Both camp here as well! The black sub is as classic as it gets to me. The Batman is a little more fun, and to me it also wears slightly better on my wrist.

Brainh18 · 30 July 2022, 01:30 PM

Sorry, but I have both. The sub for daily and Batman for special times. They are both on the same brushed bracelet.

This.

GMT is a better choice.

minute_man · 30 July 2022, 04:25 PM

Sub first.

Then add a GMT.

Unless you have a real need and use for the 2nd/3rd timezone.
When I was deciding on my 1st Rolex, I always had the Sub on my mind but at the price point (was even cheaper than the Sub, which is now reversed) and for my profession, the GMT made much more sense compared to a Submariner.
I could pick between the BLNR and the LN GMT’S; Went with the latter. After my career change, finally got the Sub I've always wanted.

Rolhu · 30 July 2022, 08:07 PM

Both!!!…..but the first place por the Sub!!!

brandrea · 30 July 2022, 09:48 PM

The poll was at 108-108 when I chimed in.

Looks like the vote is still 50-50.

I vote GMT. I have both GMT and Sub. Both are IMHO the very best Rolex sports models however I love the Blue/Black bezel… pops more than a black bezel sub.

Watcheroo · 30 July 2022, 10:47 PM

I’d go BLNR in this case. Fantastic watch all around.

I chose the sub because it's an awesome daily.
But GMT if you're a pilot or have have some other frequent use for this function.

What if one is not a pilot or a diver?

Bazil · 31 July 2022, 01:16 AM

Batman / Batgirl … but a Sub first .. then GMT ..

alex.cicollo · 31 July 2022, 01:44 AM

BLNR over the Sub for me. The Sub or Sub Date is not my favorite diver, but the BLNR is my favorite out of the current GMT’s. However, I’d go Deep Blue over BLNR.

rph08 · 31 July 2022, 04:45 AM
