: The white face GMT is a gorgeous watch. It's

: As far as which watch to buy, it's really YOUR

: faced GMT for about $1600 from the
: authorized dealer I use, which is probably
: less than half of what you'll pay for a used
: Sub. The Sub will hold its value better (as
: Rolex watches do) but won't have the GMT

: zones, the GMT feature comes in handy. I
: wish I had one years ago when I did a lot
: more traveling.

: I guess it comes to down to cost, whether you
: need the GMT function, and what you are
: comfortable spending. And, of course, which
: watch you personally like better.

I 100% agree with John, however, I'd like to point out a review made by John Holbrook of the GMT Omega vs. a GMT Rolex. Even though you're considering a Submariner.

Keep in mind that this is only ONE opinion.
