Icon5 Ceramic 2 tones......which one?

As I am looking at some posts here on the 'beauty' of the 'perfect -as JJ puts it- GMT IIc-2T, I realize that pricing compared to a 2T Sub c is very close. Which one would you choose and why?

For me it is the tt blue sub c, I own it so I am a bit partial... Love the GMT too but I like the GMT better in SS or 18k... just my .02, good luck

I like the TT Sub-c better, in either color. But if there was a TT GMT2-c Root Beer with a metallic sunburst dial (like the green gold SS Sub-c), I might have to buy the TT GMT2-c Root Beer before buying the TT Sub-c.

I chose the TT GMTiiC because I think the SubC is more appropriate in a SS version.....just MHO.

i always love the sub family over the GMT family.. so no reason other than just preference to that family. the black / gold TT sub (new one) with the white lettering on the dial vs the gold lettering of old version.

My choice (right behind the WG blue ceramic sub) would be the blue ceramic TT sub (over the TT GMT 2C). However, I'd probably take the TT GMT 2C over the black ceramic TT sub.

I went for the TT black ceramic Sub.

It has a better clasp (Glidelock) than the GMT and the bezel is less fussy (crowded).

GMTIIC for me.

I SOOOOOO wanted to love the new blue Sub ceramic. However, I have seen it many times and tried it on several, and there is something IMHO very wrong with the shade of blue. If they had gotten the blue correct, I would vote Sub C blue in a heartbeat. But . . .

They didn't get it right, and so I vote GMTIIC.
