Had both. Sold the gmt, kept the sub then got a BLNR. Best of both worlds.

I got the gmt2c first so now I can’t justify getting a sub. Ill have to look elsewhere for a diver now

I agree, for me the LN is a much nicer package

Agree and the numbers are gigantically huge far far too big - smaller numbers would help balance the gmt watches visually

I wear and favor the GMT much more...after all the complication is quite useful for me and I find the GMT to be much less boring than the sub....I also need a date on my watch.

I don’t have this issue, I love all my Rolex and Tudor equally so it is a pain deciding which one to wear.

I don’t own a submariner, but I do have a brushed sub bracelet on my GMT. Perfection.
I travel (well... traveled) pretty constantly for work, so I also went with a GMT and had the bracelet brushed. I think the brushed finish fits a lot better with the heritage of the GMT, and it tones down the watch a lot so that it's easy to wear with short sleeves.

Have the Sub and BLNR.

The Sub is for weekend or vacation when knowing the date isn't as important. However, I do prefer the numbers on the Sub rather than the fatter numbers on the GMT.

Agree with this principle, but I have more watches in my rotation.

I have a BLNR and a SubC... My preference is the BLNR because it is more functional for me. Glidelock is nice but if adjusted properly the GMT bracelet is more than adequate. I don't drive to 300M so the 100M is fine and the GMT function is an often used function since I'm on multicountry project teams

I prefer the way the GMT sits on the wrist as it has a slimmer case back but I like everything else about the sub (bezel font, non-PCL bracelet, glide lock, simplicity of no date, etc.) more.
