Sub vs. GMT II C
Well, I went into the AD thinking I was going to leave with a Black Submariner and I left with a GMT II C!

What happened?

A friend said try one on, and I loved it. Believe it or not, it came down the bracelet as the deciding factor. I loved the polished center links.

Anyway, here it is.

So far I love it.

I had a black F Series Sub before this one. I liked that one a lot. But I have to say I am very pleased with the GMT II.

Thanks for the kind words.

Bryan.

The all green LV was on the list as well. I always wanted an LV.

The GMT2C has an edge over the sub ... it has the killer looks and that
PCL bracelet is unbeatable ... You want to flash your watch in style, then
nothing beats the GMT2C!

The GMT is a little more showy and ostentatious than the Sub, and when you spend that much money on a watch sometimes you dont want it to be too conservative so good for you.

Thanks. I did want just a little extra pop.

Funny thing is, I never even looked to far off the Sub path.

It is interesting how things can grab you.
