For me, GMTIIC.

Discount? That depends on your area and negotiating skills IMO.

Both watches are wonderful. Personally I choose the Sub C.

Easily the GMT for me. Different, less of them in the wild.

You can't go wrong with either. If you like a little more "bling" then go with the GMT...if you prefer less flash with representation of an iconic brand then get the Sub C! I have both

Hey Paul. Sub C is the watch you have listed under your avatar... Was that a quick decision or is the watch for your wife's Father?

Both are beautiful, grab the one that YOU feel is best, either way you will NOT be disappointed As for price, you should get anywhere from about 0-20% off on a SS Rolex BNIB from an AD

Tough choice. Can't go wrong with either one. I'd probably go with the SubC.

Good luck!

A group of complete strangers is last place you should ask before you spend a ton of money on a watch. The watch should be calling for your like the green crystal did for superman. If not I would not buy right now because you could have a serious case of buyers remorse.

I won't offer an opinion between the Sub C and the GMT II because the GMT II is the one and only Rolex I own so any opinion expressed would obviously be highly prejudicial.

Before making any decision be sure to try them on first(I did)-see how each looks and feels. And then choose the GMT II-you won't be sorry.

Wait, didn't the green crystal almost kill superman?

Discount on a Sub C or GMTIIC? Depends on how many watches or other substantial amounts of jewelry you've previously purchased from the AD in question. If your answer is 0, that will likely be your discount - at least on these two watches.

Good luck!

OP already has a SubC.

As advised Paul, please go ahead and re-post a thread with the correct watch information.

I'm closing this thread so members don't waste time advising you about the wrong watch/es.
