GMT Master II - C or Sub 116610LN???

[exxondus]

Used to have a GMTIIc but sold it and went for the Sub C.

Never looked back since.

[SWIMPRUF]

Get both.

I would recomend the GMTIIC, because that's the one I choose.

Either way you can't go wrong.

Good luck with your hunt.

I prefer the Sub C.

[DolphinV8]

The GMT-C might suite you better since you travel a lot. I honestly love them both, and could go with either one of them.

[Gaijin]

GMT II C for me..

[TSW]

Still a tough one, but i'd probably go for the Sub!

[Runnin' Rebel]

I have a GMT II and a GMT IIc
I also have a 116613 blue Serti and a 116610LV

Wish I could help you, but I can't

Best of luck, hate to be you right about now.

Seriously, get the GMT IIc and don't sweat the PCL's. It's a sick watch.
Yacht-Master is pretty nice too. Get the one with the red date. And if you can find the red date, PM me, please

GMT IIc all the way !!

[Cru Jones]

gotta go SubC....glidelock clasp. no PCLs. not a fan of the bezel font on the GMTIIc, plus, SubC bezel is cleaner. not a fan of the green text and green 24-hour hand of the GMTIIc.

a negative for the SubC is that it is THE classic rolex sports watch, meaning, you'll see it most often on other people's wrists (if that sort of thing bothers you).

the GMT function is nice on the GMTIIc, but, to me, the best GMT in the line up is the 165710 white dial (previous generation polar Explorer II).

good luck!

[Polemic]

They both look, feel and wear similar. No PCL and Glidelock are better for me but on the other hand, green GMT hand looks awesome. Tough desicion.

[AlbyCrowned]

116610LN for sure!

[InVision]

I went with the GMT IIc. See thread http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...light=invision

I own both, but if i could only pick one as a keeper, it would be the GMTc for me

- GMTc sits lower on the wrist than the sub - much easier to fit under the cuff of a shirt
- i travel a lot too, and the GMT function is very useful
- although the Sub has a much deeper depth rating, but for everyday use (swimming etc), they are practically the same in terms of resistance to water
- GMT function > depth rating for me
- i dont like the blue lume of the sub - to me its a gimmick

I wear my GMT IIc probably 3-5 days /week, so it can certainly be a daily wear. it's comfortable & goes with any outfit from a suit to jeans. The clasp & a few of the center links on the underside have picked up swirls & scuffs like all watches do, but that's about it. If you can keep it tucked under your cuff it won't get as bad. I like the little bit of extra bling that the GMT has over the sub, but of course the SubC is a fantastic watch too so you won't go wrong either way.

going to my local AD tomorrow - going to try them both.

what would you guys expect to pay for a 1/2 year old sub and 1/2 year old gmt2-c

About 15% less. I would be buying one off a TRF dealer, I just did today with DavidSW!

[cedargrove]

Both great watches. I went GMT for the dual timezone complication (best around) and have found it extremely useful.

What other watches do you have? I see one is the Seamaster - if it's a version that is similar to a Sub (timing bezel, all brushed) then you may want to go for some variety.

ive got an Omega Seamaster prefessional 300m about 5 years old and a Rolex tudor prince date, pre tiger with rolex crown and oystercase.

your right, a bit of variety could be good just not sure what else to go for.

maybe IWC?

Same here!

If you can get a BNIB watch for close to, if not equal the price of a used watch from an AD... umm, why wouldn't you?

is so hard, until i get to see those watches in person am really not going to know.

SubC...absolutely no contest imho. Glidelock, Brushed links, cleaner bezel, no green hand. But you need to try them both next to each other and buy the one that smiles at you.
