Sub or GMT?
Which do you prefer for everyday wear? For the sake of fair comparison, compare as SS models.

The GMT does it all, so the decision is easy for me.

Sub!
GMT is too busy and in this day and age, quite honestly the GMT function is useless. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I'm in the same boat. I have GMT blnr and I was thinking of adding a sub. I feel the sub is more of an everyday watch. I'm still debating between datejust, explore II and a sub.

Sub for me. I prefer the timing bezel and the Glidelock bracelet of the 6 digits.

I prefer the Submariner hands down. I don't need the GMT function, PLC's or busier dial and bezel. I also think that the Glidelock clasp is the best in the market and makes a huge difference in how the watch wears.

Sub for me. Don't need a GMT function and much prefer the timing bezel and Glidelock. Also like the no-date look which I can get in the Sub.

Please explain - what is it about this day and age that renders a GMT function useless? to the OP's question, I have both watches and the GMT is my default daily wear. This is because I find the GMT function useful as it means I can see what time it is at head office (NY) at a glance. If I never had to think about different time zones then i would still have a GMT as I think it is a cool watch, but I reckon the Sub would be my daily. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Tough choice for daily wearer....either is a great choice, looks and function wise.
If you have to choose one...first question is...do you NEED either complication? If so, the answer is pretty easy. If no need for one or the other complication....which bezel do you prefer? Do you mind PCL's? Do you want a glidelock? Simple questions to answer.....best answer...TRF style....BOTH!! No wrong choice IMO |

I struggled to pick one but I went for the GMT, simply because the GMT function is useful and is an all round versatile watch. But the glidelock clasp on the Sub is amazing. Really really tough poll!

Sub or GMT?

How is the GMT function useless? Dive computers have made dive watches like the Sub "useless" too. This day and age had rendered watches "useless" if you think about it but we still wear them. |
