I happen to be fan of the GMT. I don't particularly care for the Sub. So I would opt for the GMT. I take mine whenever and wherever I travel.

I just got back from Cabo and took my 116613LB. I was trying to decide between the TT Bluesy and my Hulk. In your case, I would take the hulk.

I'd lean towards the Hulk, but will you be in a different time zone? GMT may work better to keep track of time at home.

Love the GMT!! But I would take the Sub to wear in the water only because of the GMT's age (I do not know the service history) however if it is pressure tested then a I would flip a coin:)

Although I own a GMT, I would take the LVc if I were you. I've spent quite some time in Mexico and I feel that green is a great match with local colors.

I agree. It goes great in water too. But like some said about service history it depends on that as well.

My GMT being serviced it's my SD-c...



Arrived yesterday in Congo.

But the GMT (or the Exp-II) is definitely the travel watch !
