The multi-timezone capability of the GMT is perfect if you travel or have need of tracking another zone. The maxi-dial of the LV is nice IMO and the ability to substitute a black insert gives a measure of versatility.

Both use the same base movement so that's a wash. As stated, togehter they make a great pair.

Agree Mike swings and roundabout but upgrade I think not,if you thing about it most Rolex sports,use the cal 3135 or clones of that movement. So in reality the only upgrade is the price in SS, or again price in precious metals etc.

My current GMTII is black bezel and an amazing watch that I wear everyday. But I wanted to try something new. I always thought Sub was somehow more superior than GMT. Is it true?

I would buy a pepsi or coke bezel if you're bored and want a change. If you really want a sub, I advice getting the black bezelled one. The GMT IIc isn't a very worthwhile upgrade IMO, since the green hours hand kills any chance of a future bezel switch.

That being said, you simply can't go wrong with any of the great advice from fellow members. As long as you end up with a Rolex on your hand that is.

I would not do the swap if I were you, just simply save enough to own both (If it cannot be afforded right now).

As others have said in the meantime maybe a change in bezel may satisfy the urge for a change?

Please keep us posted on which way you go.

I would not want to switch bezels on the GMTc. It is absurdly expensive and complex to do.
