Clash of the Titans Poll
At first sight, they are similar watches. Yet they each have enthusiastic fans devoted to one or the other. So what say you: considering any references, current or vintage, and any metal, what is your favorite -- a Submariner or a GMT?

I'm going to guess 2:1 in the Sub's favor but my vote is GMT.

The Coke GMT rocks! Rolex needs to bring that back. One of the coolest watches ever.

Everyone here always say Sub. The GMT is a much cooler watch.
The Sub isn't even the best dive watch offered by Rolex.
That would be the SD or Deep Sea IMHO.

GMT. I first learned about Rolex when my father bought a GMT Master about 30 years ago. It has a special meaning to me.

I've got the Sub and just got the bug for a GMT. Right now I'd probably vote for the GMT, but that's just because that's what I'm focused on while I'm wearing my Sub.

Sub is my first choice but I wouldn't turn down a GMT either.
