Sub and GMT

[AK797]

Totally natural, liked them so much I had a pair of them in gold.

Many people have both, that is part of the addiction
Hahahaha

I’ve had numerous 5-digit and 6-digit Subs and GMTs over the years. Currently, I have a 16610 Sub and a 126710 GMT. Also, a SD 43.

The Easylink on my GMT is sufficient. I don’t miss the Glidelock since I don’t feel I would need the constant micro adjustment. Depending on heat and humidity, I switch between having the Easylink either open or closed when I’m first putting it on mostly.

On the SD 43, though, the micro adjustment without need for a tool is essential. Due to the size, the ability to get the bracelet precisely sized when I put the watch on ensures it’s very comfortable to wear.

I have both GMT and Sub. Don't miss the glidelock at all. I rarely adjust the glicklock and on occasion use the easylink.

My Sub and GMT combo..

[SLWoodster]

Some people have 2 GMTs… some people have 2 pepsi gmts…

Yes very similar watches. But not the same. Enjoy all the same…

A Sub and GMT pair is just about perfect for me.

I have many watches but these are my favorites nowadays

The blue on this Pepsi is amazing. Mine is far more purple.

GMT and Sub fit well in a collection. Easy link works well for me if the bracelet overall is a proper fit. I have more color variety in my GMT group and have come to appreciate that look. Sub feels a bit more efficient and tool like on the wrist IMHO. Best of luck to OP in yoir next move.

Foundation of any Rolex collection--Submariner and GMT. Two entirely different watches. Date, no-date; brushed Oyster, blingly jubilee, etc. Diver and Aviation.

Can easily have both Icons within a collection. I’ve got both: Submariner 124060 and GMT II 126170 BLRO And enjoy them equally. I find the Submariner is certainly more low key while the GMT BLRO has a bit more pop and presence on the wrist due to the bezel color way and jubilee bracelet. Both extremely comfortable. .

I think this is my favorite pairing.

I have the exact same duo AJ, and love them both for much the same reasons.

A GMT with a no-date would be a good pairing

I own both the 124060 and 126710blro and wouldn't part with either. Both are tyruly exceptional and massively different, especially since the GMT is on jubilee.

[Mos_kev]

I wear my GMT 100% of the time mainly because... I don't own a sub Sad story... I know, but definitely next on my want list

[Asuki]

In the same boat as you, picked up BLNR last month and considering adding a Sub LV next.

[S.Explorer]

With a black bezel GMT (116710LN), it often gets mistaken for a Submariner. I would happily own both but not with the same colour bezel.

[dannyboy123]

Love them all.

So do many people have both a GMT and Sub? As a diver, I like the functionality of both watches, but am I crazy given they appear so similar as rotating bezel Rolex?

My GMT and photo of old Sub for reference, because why not?

this is great combo in every colection, both is great!

[Wristivity]

Both watches are so different in so many ways.

[TheVTCGuy]

I own both, one (Sub) in WG and the SS BLNR. I won’t have the BLNR much longer (hey! I have to pay for the sub!) so when it came down to decision time on which one I would choose to keep (in PM) here are the key points.

1. I just like the 41MM size of the Sub better. Yeah yeah, I know, how much can one MM difference make, but I swear it does make a difference.
2. Maybe this should be 1 and 1/2, but the bezel on the GMT really bugs me. It just seems too…. MUCH. It seems like it sits TOO high, the numbers are TOO big…. I really like the way the sub bezel looks and feels on the wrist.
3. The glidelock is HUGE. Maybe I am weird (well, I definitely am, but for lots of reasons) but I find myself changing the setting several times a day. The 5MM adjustment on the GMT is nice, but nothing beats the GL.
4. Yes, I would use the second time zone, so that is a plus for the GMT.
5. Finally, and this is a big one, I REALLY wish the sub had a quick-set like the GMT hour hand. It makes switching time zones som much more convenient.

In the end, I chose the PM sub over the GMT, the biggest reason is how it appears and wears on my wrist, but it sure was a close race.

I would opt just for the Sub. GMT looks too busy next to the Sub. I would wear the Sub much more.

[fskywalker]

Think as long as they don’t both have the black bezel they will be different enough

After getting my BLNR, I found my no date sub to be redundant in appearance. After a few months of contemplating, I offloaded the sub and don't regret my decision.

I can see there being room in a collection for both if there is more significant color difference, however.

[Watchsprings]

Here is my combo. I do miss the glidelock and brushed finish when I wear my GMT. I’m also on the list for a LV.

[StairLight530!!]

Does The GMT wear smaller than the submariner???
