Hi all,
Comparing grey prices for Pepsi or Batman gmts, the two tone submariners are close at price. Which would you choose?
Thanks!

espanol · 16 October 2023, 01:18 AM

GMT. Travel function plus the ability to wear on an oyster or jubilee.

Ditto that ^^^

Love the LB, but going GMT on this one.

wildcatrx · 16 October 2023, 01:36 AM

Good points with the versatility wearability.

Harry-57 · 16 October 2023, 01:37 AM

I'd have both. I got my LB years before a BLRO turned up but my collection needed both, at least in the long term. For everyday, go anywhere utility, as well as the bi directional bezel and second/third time zone, a GMT Master is hard to beat. Conversely, the LB is a beautiful watch, not gaudy in the metal and will wear just as well smart or scruffy, like the GMT.

If you can only have one, take your pick. You'll be on to a winner either way.

joli160 · 16 October 2023, 01:41 AM

BLRO > Sub LB > BLNR

skipstar · 16 October 2023, 01:42 AM

I love Subs but I don’t like TT, so that being said I would say go with the BLRO

ltmgeller · 16 October 2023, 03:18 AM

I'd choose the one I like the best.

jb335 · 16 October 2023, 03:22 AM

I’d much rather own the steel gmt

Get a bluesy from an AD, I actually had 3 different 12 versions. Pretty easy to get. Wouldn’t go grey myself.

worldofoyster · 16 October 2023, 04:10 AM

Gmt wins every time

Personally I chose the Batman, however I should have gone with another Submariner.

mjf1500 · 16 October 2023, 06:19 AM

Love the bluesy 126623lb

Michael1968 · 16 October 2023, 07:05 AM

Gmt for me

Krash · 16 October 2023, 07:37 AM

I got the GMT at MSRP, so that’s a no brainer for me.

But honestly, all things being equal, I’d think I’d take the Bluesy at that price, and I’d get it brand new at an AD.

bluesy near msrp is better than gmt at gray price. gmt is not too hard to get from AD if you wait. but bluesy is a classic.

996marty · 16 October 2023, 07:51 AM

For me the GMT is the one I’d be going for

yeah this for me as well. Not a huge fan of TT, but if done in right color combinations can look great

travisb · 16 October 2023, 08:25 PM

For me, always all SS over TT.

1William · 16 October 2023, 08:58 PM

I prefer a diver to a GMT, not by much though. I like the look of a solid metal so either SS or PM for me. No issues with TT and have owned quite a few over the years. The GMT on Jubilee is the one. Such a comfortable bracelet.

BobbyD2323 · 16 October 2023, 09:16 PM

Gmt

Hollie_Rollie · 17 October 2023, 01:30 AM

GMT at retail.

I would only choose full PM over a SS GMT.

GMT, but 126613LB is a beautiful piece.

wildcatrx · 17 October 2023, 01:54 AM

Steel gmts and two tone rose gold rootbeer still tough to get at retail via Ads. Bluesy may be the way to go via Ad. Thanks for the replies��

JJGreen · 17 October 2023, 02:04 AM

It's such a personal preference thing, but I realize you are asking what we would each pick...
I would take the Pepsi by a million miles...it's so iconic, durable, comfortable, classy. It could be your only watch. Second, but SO FAR behind would be the Batman.

alphadweller · 17 October 2023, 03:19 AM

LB for me, the dial.

cleansocks · 17 October 2023, 04:25 AM

Blue two-tone sub over all current steel gmts for me. If they ever make a modern one with red accents I'll be tempted but still probably would add and not replace the blue sub

B2 Stealth · 17 October 2023, 05:00 AM

Any GMT beats any Submariner every day of the week.
