For me SS subc black is iconic, SS GMT Master II black is more bang for the bucks.

I'd go for the cal.3186 ref.16710 GMT-Master, IMHO. Love the old classic GMT's!!!

Both feel similar on the wrist, but the crown of the GMT II is harder to work with than the Sub's.

Wanted the GMT since I have the sea dweller, but the sub LV is just so beautiful. I wish I have more $$$. What a dilemma!!

pros & cons:

basic functionality.

a)will you use 2 time zones? usually for travel or business.

b)timing bezel on sub has a number of uses for every day.

get the watch that will be of more use to you and you will grow to appreciate and value its functionality, solidifying your decision.

If you seek "unique" go with the GMT! If you want a classic Rolex, Sub.

I have a SD and that's what I'd pick if I had your choices.
