Hi,
I am thinking of getting a new watch... I have always loved Subs but there are a lot of people crazy about the GMT IIC as well.
I think the bezel on the new GMT is a little busy but on the other hand the band and clasp are amazing.
Which ones would you get?

Love the GMT C, you can find great deals right on our classifieds section rather than buying new for 7k plus.

submariner 16610. its classic

kcmo · 4 June 2009, 09:02 AM

I'm a huge classic Sub fan....so I voted that way. But, I think the GMTIIC is a beauty as well. Perhaps one now and one later down the road?

2th Dr · 4 June 2009, 09:09 AM

I don't think I need to say which way I voted, do you?

Micha · 4 June 2009, 10:06 AM

if you go for a Sub get the LV, because there are not as many around....however, I would get the GMT

bodybump · 4 June 2009, 10:56 AM

I agree...ceramic or the LV..then buy a black insert for the sub..and your good!!

JohnKC · 4 June 2009, 11:03 AM

Voted with my money when I had the choice almost a year ago, and got the GMT IIc. Still loving it but am considering the new TT Sub when it is available.

SSD · 4 June 2009, 11:56 AM

I prefer the 16610's current case (obviously). For me a GMT-IIc would be an addition later.

DATEJUSTSS · 4 June 2009, 12:18 PM

Another vote for the IIc.

Gaijin · 4 June 2009, 01:50 PM

GMT II C. Easy choice.

Colnago · 4 June 2009, 02:11 PM

I voted for the new Sub because I already have the GMT II C....whoops sorry.....I should have voted for what I thought you should buy.....the GMT II C speaks for itself, or should I say the members of this forum over the past year or so at least do.....there has been so much acclaim for this watch that it just beggars belief....it is truly one of the best products Rolex has ever produced....I would say that the mass populace would give it an overall vote of 95 to 97%......some folks have minor gripes with the bezel colour or the size of the font or the fact that it only has 24 'notches'.....and there's the old "PCL vs BCL" argument that pops up every so often.....but on the whole.....it is an absolutely fantastic piece......anyone that doesn't have one yet, get one, as soon as you can....

TheDude · 4 June 2009, 03:00 PM

New sub... I love the white gold - I tried one on a few months ago - simply amazing! It's a hint at what we have in store for us when the SS comes out next year!

Raam · 4 June 2009, 03:15 PM

love the Green Sub but im checking on the prices/discount, if say it SGD300 diff i go for the GMT IIc (if given standard discount for GMT IIc)...

what me like abt the GMT IIC, the embossed numbers on the ceramic bezel..

you can feel the power..lol!

vote: wait for the new sub

Z-Sub · 4 June 2009, 04:10 PM

Pick either one, I'm sure sooner or later you'll want the one you didn't pick

...and maybe more.

lexar · 4 June 2009, 09:39 PM

This is interesting... On this forum it is a clear preference for the GMT IIC at 53% however I posted the same question on another forum and it was 44% Sub and 36% GMT IIC.
