This will be a pretty tight poll...so you're going to have to make the call.

I would go GMT, but that's what fits into my collection and suits my needs better...what about you?

I have both but vote SubC on the basis of the glidelock. Makes a huge difference when wearing a heavy watch. I'm still on the search for YG and WG glidelocks for my other non-Sub models.

That way you get the best of both worlds!

+1. Ideal solution.

armen34 · 17 December 2016, 02:42 AM

What a tough question? I like the black dial better, more versatile as well.

GB-man · 17 December 2016, 03:15 AM

I prefer the blro as I like black dials and think it wears the pcls a touch better.

s14roller · 17 December 2016, 03:16 AM

I'd prefer the all blue dial, Sub for me.

s14roller · 17 December 2016, 03:17 AM

Or agreed with some of the others, get preloved Smurf and get something like a BLNR.

Hodog16 · 17 December 2016, 04:03 AM

Easy decision!

Smurf WILL be back

Glad to hear Richard!

Just to help with the decision.

vipereaper30 · 17 December 2016, 05:01 AM

I looked at both but went with the BLRO. The GMT function, black dial, and more subdued colors were the deciding factors. You can't go wrong either way!

Malibuboy · 17 December 2016, 05:39 AM

Glidelock rocks.

SMURF.

Do you use timezone functionality a lot?

Eric Chan · 17 December 2016, 03:59 PM

Personally, neither. Would go with a GMT Master II 116718 with green dial.

But between the LB and BLRO, I would choose the BLRO. When forced to choose, I will always pick a GMT over a Sub.

Bigsykedaddy · 17 December 2016, 05:42 PM

Smurf for sure, that's my grail sub.

LuminousMaximus · 17 December 2016, 05:47 PM

I miss my smurf...

Here's both to compare...

bobernet · 18 December 2016, 06:42 AM

I tried to love my smurf. I tried to ignore the big lugs and crown guards. In the end, I had to sell them off and go back to the 5 digit cases. If only there was a 16619. :-( Now a 16613 serti serves my sport watch needs. Best of luck whichever you decide.

I vote for 16618!

Smurf for me since I already have a GMT.

HL65 · 18 December 2016, 09:45 AM

I have had both and actually prefer my Sub LVC over the WG Sub and also my BLNR over BLRO. So for me I would get both of them for less money than either one of those two and keep extra cash for something different or savings.
