Rolex time is money · 7 October 2013, 07:20 AM

Hello guys, I will be getting either a Submariner 16613 or a GMT II 116713, which do you Think I shall go after?

There is price different between them ofcourse.

HL65 · 7 October 2013, 07:22 AM

That depends on which one you like more. Clearly one will sing to you more so get that one. Doesn't much matter what we think as you will own it and wear it! Happy hunting and look forward to the incoming thread....Cheers,

Jack T · 7 October 2013, 07:54 AM

Yes, of course it is the OP's decision, duh ! But what is the harm in offering an opinion when asked? Of the two, I prefer the GMT.

Racerdj · 7 October 2013, 08:06 AM

I like the GMT but very rarely do I travel in different time zones!

samsmart · 7 October 2013, 08:34 AM

They are both nice. You will love either.

Personal choice of course...

I have never warmed up to the new GMT in-your-face ceramic Nightclub models, although I do love and have several of the older GMT's ... I would go with an early Sub TT 16613.

samsam · 7 October 2013, 09:03 AM

I like the Sub over the older GMT.

adsusanto · 7 October 2013, 09:21 AM

I like both....but since most will probably vote for GMT...I go SUB

Watch it! Duh....

And no harm in giving an opinion which is what I did as in my opinion is choose the one you like more.

incontrol · 7 October 2013, 10:35 AM

They are both great. I tend to like GMT complications but the Sub is a great watch.

captkevin · 7 October 2013, 10:37 AM

This one, love the SS GMTC though

BNA/LION · 7 October 2013, 10:42 AM

Submariner 16613 w/ Serti dial... IMHO.

Runnin' Rebel · 7 October 2013, 10:42 AM

Interesting IMO how the GMTc was described in post number 6

Lew Archer · 7 October 2013, 10:50 AM

A Sub or GMT?

Close call. Go with the one whose function you will use more. For instance, if your'e a diver, or might be, the Sub. If you travel across time zones a lot, the GMT.

When I bought my first Rolex, I was torn between these two. I picked the GMT...since I had an Omega Seamaster and did not have a watch with a GMT function, which I knew would be useful to me.

Years later, despite already owning a perfectly good dive watch, I bought the Sub.

I suspect that whichever one you purchase, down the road you may just acquire the other...

SixPak · 7 October 2013, 12:11 PM

I would choose the 116713 over the 11613 in a heart beat. Now it would be a different story if the choice was the 116613.

I always wonder if there are folks who make a poll because they really will do what the majority TRF votes as they really cannot pick between the options. Yes, I know it's wishful thinking hehe.

I'm sorry, Ken (SteelerFan65) did offer an opinion. And it's a perfectly valid one.

Cc1966 · 7 October 2013, 10:00 PM

Put us in a bind...both great gear...I vote Sub.

Gerardus · 7 October 2013, 11:04 PM

Both very OK!

SLS · 8 October 2013, 01:05 AM

16613 with the blue dial would be my vote...there is something about that dial that I just love! I still don't understand any Rolex changed to that god awful (IMO) blue.

Angrypuppy · 8 October 2013, 03:11 AM

GMT, it's my answer for everything.

yakmeister · 8 October 2013, 03:14 AM

I know that I will be in the minority here, but I prefer the sub. I just don't have any use for the GMT complication and I like my watches clean and simple. Just my 2 cents.

AK797 · 8 October 2013, 05:22 AM

Blue Sub for TT, and GMTc in SS or YG.

Chris B · 8 October 2013, 05:48 AM

I've owned both & miss the Blue Sub far more than the ceramic GMT

inLine4 · 13 October 2013, 12:04 PM

Get both. I did:-)

Nycturbovr6 · 13 October 2013, 01:04 PM

I would have to say sub
