Super easy: WG GMT. New WG Sub does nothing for me

If it was the meteorite GMT I would go GMT but in this scenario I would choose the WG sub. I have owned not WG subs and prefer the newer sub. For me it is more versatile and I prefer the new sub dimensions better.

I'd keep the Pepsi. But you seem to want us to tell you to keep the Sub! Listen to your heart. Good luck.

The blue bezel/black dial is cool! WG just tops it off! Keeper if it were my decision.

Rest of my Rolex collection is in SS:

3 GMT Master II, YM 40 Rhodium, SD43, DS44.

The DS is the only one that is as heavy as the WG sub or Pepsi - that PM has some HEFT.

I had both.

Sub stayed.

But I have asked for a meteorite GMT.

Blue on the GMT not matching the dial throws me off at this point.

I wonder if RSC would do a meteorite dial swap on the WG GMT?

I don’t believe so, but some were successful in getting the black dial swapped for blue. Might as well ask, if one wanted to try it!

GMT. Blue face really makes it pop and something a bit special, whereas the Sub feels a lot more regular

Which WG to keep

They will not. I called several times to check before I got mine. Said they are allocation only. At one point they were doing meteorite swaps for DD40, but I think even that ended when they released the Daytona meteorite models.

Wow this is a tough one. I actually own both of those watches and even though I wear Smurf a lot more often between those 2 I would go with Pepsi.

Why not move some of your other steeel watches out and keep both PM? If you’re trying to downsize anyway this could do a better job .

I’m bias. What’s better than a WG submariner?

I would keep the GMT.
The Submariner, in my opinion, looks like one of those AP Offshore ceramic bezels. Works for that brand, but not for Rolex.

BLRO gets my vote as the keeper. Tough call but I find the GMT function the most useful out of all the available Rolex complications.

I think my problem with the BLRO is that the blue dial is so different from the blue bezel. What were they thinking?

The blue bezel and black dial from the sub is so cool...
No contest. Keep the Pepsi

Def keep the Sub it's more unique and I've rarely seen it in the wild.

If you itch for the GMT just get a SS one... Most people can't even tell them apart.

I've never seen either in the wild, and I live in LA.

So much for consensus, it's about 51-49% GMT.....

Now I'm thinking I need to keep both.

Think that’s a great idea if you can swing it as both can co-exist easily!

Not a fan of the blue dial on the Pepsi, so I'd keep the Sub.
