There's nothing wrong with owning a GMT and Sub, but for me variety in both form and function is the spice of life and the reason I diversify in brands and styles.

This post made me laugh as when I brought home my new SubC ND my wife said "that looks just like your other Rolex". The other Rolex is a DJII with a blue dial.

WIS can understand why you would own a Sub and GMT. Most non WIS wouldn't get it.

Me personally, I wouldn't own 2 watches that are so similar. I like variation in my collection

Il delete my account, not think of watches and never return to TRF ever again :P
Are you thinking black dial or white dial 41mm ROC?

But I agree with you. The only way I could see a sub and gmt in my collection is if they are different metals and different colors- i.e. SS sub with black dial and yg gmt with green dial.
I agree. That's the exact combination I own :)
