Not sure, but they are close at the present. Both pretty expensive (rip off). Maybe. [nt]

Has the GMT-Master surpassed the Submariner in popularity?

When I first started collecting almost 20 years the Submariner was definitely the most popular Rolex sports model. This includes the milsubs, non-dates (5513, 5512), Big Crowns, Small Crowns, Comex watches (including the 5513 with He valve and 5514), Red ... 

I don't know if we can say that the GMT MASTER surpassed the Submariner, but at least it gained more consideration. Now, as for the double edged sword, I can only agree.

Building a collection of GMT MASTER becomes more and more challenging. Luckily I have to dig the 5 digit references, which are not too impacted... FOR THE MOMENT... Best, my friend. Nicolas

Pricing for 5 digit GMTs seems much stronger than for 5 digit subs

So if price is the measure of popularity, than yes... the GMT is more popular.
