Are you more Submariner than GMT?
I would be curious to hear your preference, here.
What I observed is that there are slightly more Subs than GMTs, here and there.
Not that the GMTs are rarer, but it seems that when people think Rolex, they have " Sub " in their mind.
Let's not refrain our choices to the watches in the picture, let's get a wider choice...
Would you prefer a 6542 to a 5508, or a 6538 to a 5508 / 6536, a 1675 to a 5513 for example?
What are the criterias of your choices and preferences?
Yes, I wold be really curious to hear you on that matter.
Best,
Nicolas

I would have to go for the sub....
as it was my very first Rolex back in the days when I would go diving with it and would wear it for all types of water sports like water-skiing etc.Most of my buddies had one and it was the quintessential Rolex to have at the time.I wasn't into watches th...
The sentimental value ...
Now, that is an important factor! If I go on this ground, I would say the GMT, as it was my first " serious " watch, the one which introduced me into watches. And as you, we lived some great and exciting moments. Aaah, by the way, I did all with my GMT, s...
I was deciding between:
The 1675 + 5513 as opposed to the 1680 Red Submariner. I chose the latter; but I will get to the former As for your question, can I say I am both Submariner plus GMT? And maybe to complicate matters I am also SD, Explorer and Daytona as well. uh oh, now i...
Well, it seems that you're sold to Rolex, Mr Gatsby...
If you're not able to limit yourself to one or two models... This is a curious phenomenon I observed, too. It also depends on the patina of the watch: Between a beautiful Sub and a too white GMT, I would go on the Sub. Now, if they have the same patina???...
make mine any of the Submariners...
I like the GMT's, but have absolutely no use for one......
Sub for me
because a look at my own collection, I found more sub than GMT. Well, I have only one GMT....
Wouldn't you like to give it a GMT sister?
It feels very lonely, on your picture... Best, my friend, and thanks for posting this nice picture of your gorgeous 5513! Nicolas
It only takes a picture
I guess in this case pictures say more than thousand words.... But, and it is a big BUT, one of my very favorite watches is my only current GMT:...
Like you, Anatol, I feel something special with any of my GMTs.
It is very difficult to put in words, but any of these GMTs gives me a smile when I put it on my wrist. So, I can understand your feeling. You showed that numbers can't do all ! Best, Nicolas PS: Awesome collection!
Naming my favorite is very difficult!
Every time I try to sell one of my Rolex I find I really NEED it! However, my Sub 5513 from 1966 is a must have: the epitome of the Submariner, reduced to the max. And the 6536/1 is perfect and has a military back ground. So it would also have to stay.
Sub of course
My firend you know i'm Sub addicted! Maybe I would prefer what i've not: big crown 6538/5510 or military 5513/5517
And what about a superb 6542? :)))
I get you very well, my friend... These big crowns are to damn! Well...Such as a 6542 Galore! Best, Nicolas
That's the $64,000 dlls question...
Hermano, That is a question I ask myself whenever I am about to choose the watch for the day, morning, afternoon, evening, or trip. It depends in a state of mind, the 1675 is strapped on whenever I dream of travelling to far away lands, or whenever my dea...
Well said, Hermano.
No right nor wrong... Both! A pair of laquered GTM / Sub, or a pair of matt dials, what a pleasure to see them side by side! Caramba. Un abrazo, Amigo mio. Nicolas
GMT for me,
GMT is also my first serious watch back several years ago, during my college time. When you look at the sweep second hand, always make you smile. A special watch for me I am more GMT because its function is more useful for me when travelling, while I didn...
Well, you can also swim with your GMT.
What I did, by the way, but with a 16 710. A crown for every achivement... I love this idea! Thanks for your input, Eddy. Best, Nicolas.
GMT but not the IIC
Professionally I use the GMT "complication" every day. Normally, I travel with a GMT but I'm becoming a fan of alarm watches (bad influence from here?). Of course, a 1675 and a 16710 are a good pair: The pic does not show but the 1675 has a great faded be...
Sublime pair, Nilo.
The patina on your 1675 is really impressive. I know what you mean about the new GMT II C. More a luxury watch, less a toolwatch. It took me a long time to appreciate it for what it is, indeed. Although, I'm disturbed by the size of the bracelet, which lo...
