Adding a GMT when you already have a Sub
I currently have a Sub Date 16610 and I'm thinking about getting a GMT. For those of you that have BOTH; do you wear them both or does one take a back seat? I'm considering either a Pepsi pre-ceramic or a BLNR.

I have a 16610LV and a 16710 Pepsi. Besides the identical mid case, they're pretty different watches. I also have a 16600 which, again, is a pretty different watch despite being similar.

Totally different look of course I wouldn't own a black GMT if I had a black sub that being said a Pepsi or BLNR would be an awesome addition

That's my thought too. I would be more inclined to where the Pepsi or BLNR.

I have a 5 digit sub, a 6 digit sub and 6 digit GMT. I wear them all in rotation and still love all three. I travel internationally a lot so the GMT gets a lot of wrist time just because I'm traveling 2 to 3 weeks at a time. Green sub will go on my wrist as soon as I get home this Friday.

I wear them all in rotation....different moods/occasions/purpose different feel. For example I never wear a diver when I'm travelling (unless I know I'm doing water sports, then I take one of my divers for a ride).

I have a GMT which I wear during the week for work. It helps me keep track of my local time (London) and head office time (New York).

I also have a Sub (LVc) which is my weekend/pub/going out watch.

They are both great, and I think there's room in any collection for one of each of these iconic pieces.

Obligatory photos:

Sub and GMT make great bedfellows. Go for it.

I have a 16610lv, a BLNR, a YG GMT2 green dial, and a DSSD. In any given 2 week period, they all usually see some wrist time.
