Plus, Rolex has done much more to promote the GMT line than the Sub with the first ceramic being a GMT (LN), the Batman, and of course Pepsi. The Sub has gotten far less attention. This has brought much greater attention to the neo-vintage GMTs than the Subs.
I’ve never got my head fully around regular use either a 24hr bezel or 12hr bezel as on my Oris. Practically speaking, the rotating 60 minutes bezel is something I use routinely when I cook or watch my kid’s sport.
