Sub versus GMT II

[Mr. Sam Patek]

I have finally decided to buy my first Rolex and have narrowed to the SS Sub (Date) versus the GMT II. In a nutshell, the GMT does have appeal as I travel overseas regularly but the Sub is 300 meters resistant even though I do not plan to dive with it!

The issues I was uncertain about was a) comparison of movements in terms of durability, b) are the bands comparable or is the Sub unique with the micro adjustment, c) is one more or less susceptible to scratching than the other, d) if the GMT II more under the radar (preferable). Any and all comments would be appreciated. This would be strictly an everyday/sports watch as I am set for the levels of dress beyond jeans and shorts and G-Shocks work great as a backup to my dive computer.
