As I was leaving El Paso in March I received a call that my AD had a "Bruno" (that is what they are calling the black and blue) in stock. I was already on the highway so I had to pass. A month later I found out that Rolli is releasing the Pepsi (its white gold and $40000) but hey, a boy can dream!

Hands Down the GMT - BTW, I ordered a Black BEZEL for my GMT from my AD and switched them out for a little while. Its a nice feature that isn't replicated in the current models.

Hah cool story. Sounds like a blnr is still calling your name!

I've been following these GMT v. Sub threads for almost a month trying to make up my mind! I currently have a 16610 that I am trading in for the either the GMT iic or the Sub C. Love my Sub but the new upgrades have been calling my name for almost a year! My local AD is getting both models in tomorrow!!

Will probably end up picking the Sub C just because of the micro adjustments on the new glide lock--Awesome--and I'm just not sure about the PCL and the huge gmt numbers on the bezel. Will post pics tomorrow when the winner speaks!

Look forward to seeing the result. Welcome and make sure you post some pics.

True, but it's not like the GMT is a rare model either.

I can't answer the subc vs. gmt2c question.

Among YG models, 116718 with green dial wins
Among TT models, Bluesy wins
Among SS models, Hulk wins

Jacobite · 14 June 2014, 04:41 AM

GMT suits my needs perfectly.

Rob starc · 28 June 2014, 05:12 PM

Nice watches definitely Sub C

Go sub C, i have the GMT II C the polished bracelet will get scratched like cheap watch

dr.ahmeduddin · 13 July 2014, 07:54 PM

Sub C! Originality !
GMT aqua Terra is nicer than GMT iic whereas
Sub is better than Seamaster in craftsmanship
and appeal.

The Libertine · 14 July 2014, 07:43 AM

Submariner is my vote.

I do not like polished center links, and I do not believe in modifying my watches either. Current iteration of the GMT lost a bit of the "character" of prior models, IMHO.

macduffi · 14 July 2014, 09:32 AM

SubC for me. GMT bezel is too busy for me. For each his own...

Unidenscan · 16 July 2014, 07:10 AM

Still deciding between these two (don't own a Rolex yet!!) Was at my AD today comparing them and I really like the PCL on the GMT, however to me the Sub c is just more attractive, I'm not sure why. I would be worried about the PCL getting scratched easily. The GMT blue-black is really awesome looking though.

papiyo69 · 8 August 2014, 02:18 PM

Both are nice but i'll go for SubC.

XXAD · 8 August 2014, 04:04 PM

I have the sub ND 114060 and the 116710 gmt. Love em both! But if i were to choose id keep the gmt2c :)

Jayshan · 8 August 2014, 10:09 PM

sub C for everyday wear.

007Sub · 9 August 2014, 03:39 PM

Interesting seeing the GMT has a slight edge at the pole results. Both amazing watches.

GoingPlaces · 12 August 2014, 01:27 PM

GMT all day, has a more useful function and like all other Rolex pieces is waterproof enough for most people. My #1 travel watch. Also feels great and easier to dress up.

zen watch · 12 August 2014, 07:22 PM

Sub C for now, then get the BLNR after.

robisan · 12 August 2014, 08:53 PM

Gmt iic.

pacific17 · 15 August 2014, 04:30 PM

Sub C because of the BCL.

Father Goose · 1 September 2014, 02:57 AM

I feel the cleaner bezel, water resistance, and price of the Sub make it more attractive to me.

Catyack · 3 September 2014, 09:41 AM

GMT every day of the week. Subs have always looked annoyingly lop-sided to me (which is why I flipped the first and only one I ever owned), and if I'm anywhere close to being more than 100m under water it means I'm already dead.

Left wrist · 3 September 2014, 01:49 PM

im leaning twds the sub c for the every day rotation

Wolf Kh · 4 September 2014, 04:42 AM

Sub C for me but i own a exp 2. I needed to get the sub out of my system I bought the sub C and I love it.

Stevetoomer · 5 September 2014, 08:30 PM

Just Bought my first Rolex and agree with everyone ref the GMT but Night & Day the way forward

Stevetoomer · 5 September 2014, 08:36 PM

Just bought my first Rolex, Had to be the GMT Night & Day

A little surprised the GMT is beating out the Sub. I love both, but would have thought the Sub would be ahead on this one.
