.. sorry I can't resonate with that?

Just curious, how many chose the GMT over the Sub because they really needed the second time zone?

[eggbeater]

Also noticed that the GMT has polished centre links while the Sub's are brushed. Would there be a big difference in wear and tear if used daily?

[Oceanklassik]

There will be a difference. How big? It depends on the watch owner. Nevertheless, the polished centre links will see more scratches as compared to brushed links.

I chose a GMT IIc over a Sub c; but in less than 3 months, I started to dislike the highly polished CL, that showed scratches, smudges and oily finger-prints no matter how careful I was. Sold it off and bought the TT GMT IIc - somehow the polished gold doesn't show the scratches as badly as the SS, so that's a keeper for me.

Hmm interesting. What about fingerprints and smudges though? Do they show up less?

Yes, it seems so to me. On the polished gold, I can also easily rub off any fingerprint and smudge with my finger or a cloth and they appear less annoying compared to the polished SS, perhaps due to the different reflectiveness - I think the SS looks more shiny!.

The price difference between the TT and the SS models is about S$2,500 - S$3,000, so I thought it was worthwhile to consider the TT.

TT and SS models side-by-side:

It does appear that polished SS is the shiniest material, even compared to YG & WG.
