None of this matters. Just buy what you like; wear it; and enjoy it. When it's time to sell, if that's what you decide to do, see then what it fetches. Bam! Done! Smiles :)

IMHO it would be the GMT due to its flexibilty on bezel changes

This is true only for the non-ceramic model, though...come to think of it, the OP didn't specify which iterations of the two models he was interested in.

OP, if you're still reading this, *which* versions of these watches were you talking about: Sub 16610 vs GMT 16710, or the newer ceramic Sub 116610 vs GMT 116710?

I agree with the poster and when I purchase a Rolex then it will be of some investment to me but not a money making investment more of a "enjoyment fund" so if I put 5K into a watch and sold it 3 years down the line for 5K then I would have returned a good investment in regards to owning a Rolex.

If the 5K sat in a bank account what sort of interest would I have had over 3 years???? not much at the moment with interest rates and it would be very boring in comparison to owning a top time piece.

My theory is buy-enjoy-resell-recoup-reinvest-enjoy!!

just buy one of each and wear them. Watches are meant to be enjoyed..

when you decide to sell it, your return on your investment will depend how much you paid for it originally.

IF you pay retail msrp for a subc and a gmtIIc, i almost always see the Sub being worth more.
