Not really ? Not even sure .. can you post a picture or a link to show the diff ? I only checked the glidelock when I tried on the SubC at AD mate.

I've had the GMT C and yes it's a stunning watch but for me the polished centre links proved a nightmare with scratches. I know you can't stop this but i tried my hardest to prevent as many as i could, i never felt relaxed with it on.
I would go for the new SUB C, no polished links so it's a great sturdy day to day watch that you can just wear and enjoy.
It also depends on what you do day to day? I own a cleaning company so my watches can get knocked from time to time so the SUB C is perfect for my needs.
Oh even though i can't swim in my profession it even gets wet most of the time? not quite 300ft lol.
I would look at your life style and go with your heart as they are both stunning watches.

Just save up and get both. Similar in many ways, but different enough to justify getting each.

Between the 2 the Sub did it for me. Good luck with your decision. You will enjoy it either way !!!

Hey, do you know whether or not after buying the SubC, you know the bezel from the GMT Master, or the Coke/Pepsi Bezel , you know can you purchase it separately then put it into the SubC ? it seems the same size for me though?

Cheers.

I don't care for the PCL's on the GMT. SubC for me. As one user said, the polished links get scratched up.

i saved up for years and was off to buy a sub, it was the one i wanted until i tried on the gmt just to see what i thought to the pcl's, i thought the gmt would be to flashy, but once i had it on i really didnt want to take it off!
you will see the phrase "it will sing to you" and it's true.............

Both are nice and I flip flop on which one I like more. Last week I would have taken the GMT, but I actually just was at my AD today and tried both on and liked the Subc more. The reason why I'm now leaning towards the sub is that I liked the brushed bracelet, glidelock clasp and bezel function.
