Gotta have them both. One for the air one for the sea.

That’s the spirit!

Well...

And for the Subs.... ...  

All gorgeous! So which do you prefer?

GMT MASTER. Even if the Tudor Big Crown is one of my keepers, too.

Never really was a Sub person so GMT for me by default

 
By: holdemchamp1225 : January 23rd, 2021-11:34

Both are classics. Hard pressed for choice would go GMT

GMT for me.

Sub for me, my youth dream (Sea-Dweller, specifically)

5-1 in favor of GMT so far with one tie.

 
By: descartes1 : January 23rd, 2021-13:24

I am surprised. Some years ago, let's say 10 years ago, the Sub was a clear winner.

 
By: amanico : January 24th, 2021-03:45

I think 20 years ago the submariner would have won. Tastes have changed and the GMT has a little more soul; and offers a more everyday practicality. How often do Sub owners dive? Compared to GMT owners travelling??

 
By: nasseriq : January 24th, 2021-12:25

I am sure of that. Good points.

 
By: amanico : January 24th, 2021-12:33

I think like with many Rolex watches the under appreciated ones are those that become “hot” decades later

Plus, Rolex has done much more to promote the GMT line than the Sub with the first ceramic being a GMT (LN), the Batman, and of course Pepsi. The Sub has gotten far less attention. This has brought much greater attention to the neo-vintage GMTs than the S... 

You are probably right.

 
By: amanico : January 24th, 2021-23:33

Agreed

 
By: nasseriq : January 25th, 2021-13:09

both are gorgeous

but if I have to choose, then the GMT Master because of the slimmer case & dash of color

If that was black bezel gmt, i might have gone for that. Else, sub. But it’s close really. Best to get both :-) (nt)

..

Definitely Sub all the way

I’ve never got my head fully around regular use either a 24hr bezel or 12hr bezel as on my Oris. Practically speaking, the rotating 60 minutes bezel is something I use routinely when I cook or watch my kid’s sport.

GMT for sure... from a Pilots prespesctive! No hate on the sub, but you gotta pick one!!
