Hello All in the world of Rolex,

I just purchased a GMT Master 2 and i absolutely love it, i noticed that the bracelet is so unbelievably thick and robust compared to the bracelet on my Submariner. My question is, what year do the subs start using the Thick bracelet??

Tanks in advance

Hi, It depends if we are comparing similar dates. The Sub and GMT of the same era should be same size.

Unless your comparing a 6 digit reference to a 5 digit...

The sub bracelet feels entirely too light to me. I know the sub is one of the favorites on here and I love the style but when they went ceramic it made the watch even lighter. Some people love heavy watches (me) and some love watches that feel like they aren't even on your wrist but if I can't feel it then It's a no go.

The ceramic models are heavier overall than the al insert models.

The Sub Date went to the glidelock bracelet in 2010, the Submariner in 2012.

Great point Clive, I was thinking SS but on reread the OP did not specify.
