I have said this before, You have it narrowed down to two watches, buy the best deal first then save for the other. You will not be satisfied with your choice and crave the other.

The SS Datejust with the WG bezel is a beaut now IMO you need a GMT II TTc.

hmmm which is better...all depends which you like the look of really and if diving or the 24 hour hand complication is of any genuine use to you.
I personally would say the sub-c as I think its a better looking watch and more tool-like and not so shiny and flashy like the GMT - plus I personally have never been a fan of polished centre link bracelets. Ony downside to the sub-c is that loooads of people have them which is not necerssarily a bad thing but there are probably less GMT II C's in the wild than sub-c's. Either way you cant go wrong |

Can't go wrong either way. Chances are you will eventually get the other one as well. Trust me, you won't stop at one. It also depends on your current collection. If I can only get one, I will go for subc.

As said previously, you can't go wrong with etiher choice. It really just depends on which one you like the most. I chose the GMTCII myself.

Both awesome watches! You need to try both on to see which one smiles back. I would lean towards the SubC.
Good luck! |

Both watches give time equally well.
You may have to spend more time adjusting the GMT if you dont keep it wound. |

Dual/triple timezone facility or Time lapsed Bezel When you have chosen, start saving for the other one. The guys on this thread are not lying. post some pics when its all done and dusted. Good luck

Can't really go wrong with either one, so......
If you like them both the same, go for the better deal, first, or......
