I currently have a Sub Date 16610 and I'm thinking about getting a GMT. For those of you that have BOTH; do you wear them both or does one take a back seat? I'm considering either a Pepsi pre-ceramic or a BLNR.

JP Chestnut · 4 May 2017, 04:38 AM

I have a 16610LV and a 16710 Pepsi. Besides the identical mid case, they're pretty different watches. I also have a 16600 which, again, is a pretty different watch despite being similar.

ejvette · 4 May 2017, 04:39 AM

Totally different look of course I wouldn't own a black GMT if I had a black sub that being said a Pepsi or BLNR would be an awesome addition

brandrea · 4 May 2017, 04:40 AM

Either one would be perfect and make for a great pairing.

Old Geezer · 4 May 2017, 04:42 AM

I have a 5 digit sub, a 6 digit sub and 6 digit GMT. I wear them all in rotation and still love all three. I travel internationally a lot so the GMT gets a lot of wrist time just because I'm traveling 2 to 3 weeks at a time. Green sub will go on my wrist as soon as I get home this Friday.

This.

I wear them all in rotation....different moods/occasions/purpose different feel. For example I never wear a diver when I'm travelling (unless I know I'm doing water sports, then I take one of my divers for a ride).

DGB · 4 May 2017, 05:12 AM

I had the GMT first, but now I mostly wear the sub

I have a GMT which I wear during the week for work. It helps me keep track of my local time (London) and head office time (New York).

I also have a Sub (LVc) which is my weekend/pub/going out watch.

They are both great, and I think there's room in any collection for one of each of these iconic pieces.

Sub and GMT make great bedfellows. Go for it.

jmontrone · 4 May 2017, 05:28 AM

That's my thought too. I would be more inclined to where the Pepsi or BLNR.

nick800 · 4 May 2017, 05:28 AM

I wear both

kilyung · 4 May 2017, 05:29 AM

They pair perfectly fine imo.

diverdoug · 4 May 2017, 05:32 AM

I have a 16610lv, a BLNR, a YG GMT2 green dial, and a DSSD. In any given 2 week period, they all usually see some wrist time.

lee fowler · 4 May 2017, 05:32 AM

I do love a GMT!!

Well shoot Lee, after that photo I've got to follow you on Instagram now.

henrylee · 4 May 2017, 06:16 AM

I used to wear a subC , now I only wear Gmts- BLNR or coke/pepsi.

rolexnub · 4 May 2017, 06:17 AM

I wear each one every other day - BLNR, LVc, BLNR, LVc, ....

rootbeer7 · 4 May 2017, 06:20 AM

Dive, drive or fly? It's all about choice!

Rolex addict · 4 May 2017, 06:23 AM

I have both, but the sub gets more wrist time. I just like it better.

ranxoren · 4 May 2017, 06:27 AM

Ive owned both but ultimately - despite their different look - I found them a bit too similar and the GMT was the winner and stayed while the Sub is gone but not forgotten.

eonflux · 4 May 2017, 06:38 AM

Have both a SubC and black GMTC
Not redundant

I think a BLNR would go great with your 16610
