I have recently found this channel, love it love your presenting style love the photography and the work you put into the videos it’s very much appreciated you have a fan in London.
Thank you Dean! I really appreciate the kind words 🙏 I love making these videos and will continue to strive to make great content!
I use to think the batman looks cooler than the sub.. but after owning both, i realise that the sub is more appealing than the batman in so many levels. I began to dislike the large fonts on the bezel of the batman and what made me sell it off is due to the fact that i realise that the blue splash of color on the gmt bezel makes it feel and look like more of a toy watch than how a classic luxury rolex watch would look..
The sub will always be a classic. I believe the Batman is simply Rolex’s first take on bringing the bicolor gmt into the modern era. It has a cool modernity to it but will never top the sub in terms of timelessness. Great points and thanks for tuning in!
I had the same feeling exactly and sold the Batman. The sub IMO is a more elegant and presentable especially for my age of late 40s.
Totally agree. The bezel on the gmt is way to busy. You could argue that it makes the GMT more of a tool watch than the Sub.
That’s why I went with black Sub! I always wanted a GMT but thought I might get slightly tired from the bicolor bezel after sometime. So wanted something timeless
Just got the BLNR on Oyster Steel. I originally wanted Jubilee but once I tried the Oyster Steel on I actually like it more.
Same here ! Loving my. GMT on Oyster Bracelet
I love both, but I would choose the Batman without question.
Batgirl over Batman and the black Sub- the jubilee bracelet is awesome to wear, the GMT function is very handy, & the black & blue colors just pop- they are so eye catching, the watch will never go unnoticed!!
This 100%. If I’m paying over 10k for a watch, I want it to be as unique as possible and have that wrist presence that only the jubilee can provide imo. It catapults the luxurious feel of GMTs to new levels.
The jubilee is an upgrade, but I hate that watch geeks call it the batgirl. There is nothing girly about a jubilee bracelet. It’s just a bit dressier. The jubilee coming back to the gmt is an improvement and looks and wears great!
I think you mean Bruce Wayne. Bruce Wayne is the most fitting name for Batman on Jubilee.
41MM SUB DATE is PERFECTION
Indeed it is
No Date for the win.
No date all the way
No date is much cooler.
100%.
Great comparison of two brilliant tool watches. I personally have the 2020 41mm no date sub and the 2021 Batman on Oyster, so each has a slightly more different vibe than if I'd had the sub with date.
Personal preference, but I just like the simplicity of a no dater......
Thanks for tuning in and for your support! Sounds like you have a solid collection. Totally agree with your points. I just picked up the no date sub myself. Take care and happy new year 🎆
I love and prefer my date sub to the no date
GMT is 40.2mm in diameter and Sub is 40.5mm. Reason why Sub looks like it overhangs more is because its caseback sticks out more than the GMT, presumably for the 300m depth rating.
I disagree on the Rolex 41 vs the last gen. I think the 41 wears either the same or slightly smaller because of the tapered lugs. Also, the slimmer crown guards also add to that effect
From the looks on this video, Batman looks a little bigger on the wrist to me
Great review on the comparisons of both the Submariner and GMT Batman. I had the opportunity to try both on recently and my initial first pick was the Submariner, it felt great on the wrist and the gladlock feature makes it even better for quick comfort adjustments. Both wear very similar, but my pick would be the Submariner. Great video again!!!
GMT Batman, BY FAR! No contest 👍🏻 Just sold my 2023 Sub Date 41mm and bought the GMT Batman on Oyster. No regrets!
I have both and love both equally
I own a Submariner (no date) and a Batgirl (jubilee). I love the versatility this powerful duo gives and think it epitomizes the essence of Rolex.
Wow! That’s exactly what I have at the moment (jubilee bracelet is on its way). It’s a great one two punch
That’s my goal..just picked up my sub
I have the same duo! I absolutely agree
I have the same exact duo plus the Speedmaster, all good!
This is Tyson/Holyfield. On any given day, either of these can win a face off. It’s just about whether you want a watch that comes right at you and punches you in the teeth (GMT), or if you prefer the workhorse, apex icon that has stood the test of time and will almost never let you down (Sub).
Batman all the way. It offers flatter case back, splash of color on bezel (blue and black are my favorite colors) and looks stunning
Yes that’s very true. I always wondered why my GMT Batman wears slightly better on my wrist than the Sub that I got my dad. Flatter caseback
I have a GMT Classic and love it! The reason I went with the Submariner is understandable; I'm a pilot! Although I'm also a diver, I wear a dive computer and would not even think of wearing a Rolex for the simple reason that if a bracelet pin goes (not an uncommon occurrence) so does the watch...to the button of the ocean! Although looks are important, I'm more interested in functionality. The GMT can be worn with a nice suit and look dressy, not so the Submariner. The GMT becomes useful any time you cross a time zone, while the rationale for wearing a Submariner on a dive , in my view, is flawed. If you dive in Florida, as I do, the moment you jump in the water you are likely to se a Barracuda. They are mostly harmless but they are definitely attracted to shiny objects! The intestines of a Cuda is not the kind of environment you want for your Rolex Submariner! Excellent video...Thanks!
Thanks, good review. I will receive my batman in two weeks (hopeso)... I am not sure if it's to blinky... But on your video it looks really good. Greetings from Germany
Greetings from Panama! Congrats on your channel! Really appreciate your great insight and also down to earth style and genuineness. Keep up the great work amigo!
Thanks so much! Greetings from California. I really appreciate the kind words and support
Thank you for the video!
I definitely want both, but the issue is what will be made available to you by your AD, unless you are willing to buy grey market or used. They are both so hard to get from an AD so I got the Sub because that’s what my AD was able to get/allocate to me. I’m still hoping for a Batman or Pepsi GMT in time.
I thought I never would be able to purchase one at retail! Such an element of luck at play here. That’s great that you got your sub from an AD though, I’m still waiting on a call for one of those!
Good review. Happy New Year to you too.
Each has it’s advantages. GMT-jumping hour hand for easy setting when traveling. Sub-easy link bracelet. GMT-second time zone. Sub- (IMO) the 41 mm size. I decided on the Sub and own the WG 126619. LOVE this watch.
Great video , awesome watches , love their functionality but prefer the batman Gmt function more
Great sharing with elaborate details! I’m going for the Sub for my first watch. Thank you 🙏🏼
Glad it was helpful! 😁 beautiful choice!
I have the 2022 126715CHNR GMT II EverRose and a 2022 126619LB "Cookie Monster" Submariner and if I had to pick between the two, I would pick BOTH! ... lol... very different watches in many ways, yet so similar.. Overall the width of the Sub bracelet is better for me, but the GMT II with the classic size works well.
Good information,thanks !!
Happy New Year! Excellent comparison of these two amazing watches. You can't go wrong with either one. Appreciate the side by side. I'm drawn mostly to the BATMAN and love he look of the center polished links but a little concerned about how scratched up that would get vs the brushed links on the Sub. Submariner is a little less conspicuous and not quite as noticeable. Perhaps a good thing depending on where you find yourself. As for the tool aspect, I'd find the GMT's 'multiple time' more useful than the Sub's dial. Like you said- both are great - if you're lucky enough to get one. Thanks for the video.
Batman- why. Polished center links makes it more special to me. The pop of blue really really is beautiful when the light is dim in a restaurant, house or outside at sunset. It is super sporty looking in direct sunlight. It sits smaller on wrist than the sub. It can track two-3 times zones, is a compass, and can even be used to track time like the sub by adjusting bezel IF you are not tracking two time zones. And still remains rugged enough to go anywhere the sub can go albeit risking some scratches on the PCLs which maybe a downside to some.
Overall, anyone is blessed to own either.
In Italy we have to wait at least 2 year for a batman (2-5 years) and 1 year for a sub…
Definitely the Batman 👊🏼 great video and comparison!
Question: you have the Batman and Explorer.
If you had to keep one and sell one, what would you do, and why?
Love your channel. Subbed
Submariner is better hands down for an everyday watch.
I love the bezel click of the sub feels like breaking in to a fine safe. When I got the batman, I was very very disappointed in the lack of click
No one wants to hear that click while you’re on a plane 😉
Batman for sure but both are great..........
Batman on Jubilee is much better than an oyster. Especially in a collection. That plus a submariner is a perfect 2 hit combo. Having 2 oysters bracelets are redundant.
I agree. I have the black sub 2020 and want a BLNR. That on jubilee makes it look different enough to own both right ?
what do you mean that the GMT clasp has 'on the fly' adjustability? I haven't figured out how to manage it vs the sub glidelock which is intuitive
I've had a look at my friend's Batman. Beautiful watch & I love the gmt function but I like the simplicity of the Sub & it's a strap monster. The versatility for me wins it. I'd love to add this to my collection in future & to join my Air King.
Love the air king! Very unique piece. Agree with all of your points. Would you get a date or no date sub? Thanks very much for tuning in 🙏
Yeah the Air King grows on you. Once you wear it around that green Rolex & yellow crown pop in the sun like no other.
As for the Sub, I'd get a date. I know it's not true to the Sub history but a date function is very useful for me at work. Sign/initial....date, Sign/initial....date, repeat 100 times 😑.
Air King is an awesome watch it still trades over retail but it absolutely blows my mind it isn’t way more popular. I just recently got my first Rolex. I asked for a few models as my next watch I told them I’m not picky and the air king was one of them
I Have the all black GMT. Its kind of the best of both worlds. Love the blue on the Batman though.
GMT wears great, thanks to the thinner caseback.
Great video. Just got the Sub Date. Now waiting on the Batman!!!
While I think the oyster is a better option for the BLNR in isolation. I do like having a jubilee bracelet to provide more contrast with the sub in a collection. And perhaps.... I should have gotten the no date sub to get rid of the cyclops which they both share as well!
I agree on your point of it bringing variety to a larger collection! However for some reason the jubilee seems like a slight mismatch for the maxi lugs. Just IMO. I currently have both haha. Just picked up a no date sub, the dial is soo much cleaner. Always great to hear from you brother! Happy new year and keep creating great content 👍
@@watchyourstyle Just curious. Can your purchase a Jubilee bracelet at local AD to put on the new 41mm Sub? I always thought that would be a good looking combo.
Beautiful watches! After Daytona, two Rolex best models and certainly two with the richest history and legacy, next to Explorer. I will pick Submariner because I am looking for perfect everyday watch and, for me, Rootbeer is the most stunning GMT2 and Rolex on market now! Great video, all the best!
Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words! Excellent choice on the sub - you just can’t go wrong with a classic 😎 I would love to own the Daytona or a Rolex with gold in the future too! Cheers!
Don’t forget about the Datejust for iconic watch with rich history. I think the pantheon of iconic Rolexes is the Oyster first for making a water resistant case, then the DJ for the first with a automatic date, then the Explorer, Sub and lastly GMT. So much amazing history at Rolex.
@@lewisjones3345 I was thinking about Rolex sports models and that's way I am forgot DateJust. My bad😊
Which one is better in terms of investment? Any thoughts
Have the 41mm Sub and hoping to have a Batman as well soon. Awesome video comparing both models.
Congrats on the sub and hope you get the Batman soon! Thanks for your support
What is the function of the blue needle on batman ?
Batman with Jubilee, I don't like the Oyster on GMT.
Nice presentation 👏
This or the new explorer as a daily beater?
Sub bro
Both are stunning tool watches and you can’t go wrong with either. I currently own the sub with the green bezel as my casual and the BLNR on a jubilee as my dress watch.
Exactly! The perfect combination. I have the 116610LV Hulk and the BLNR on Jubilee. Two completely different looks...love that pairing.
+1 BLNR on jubilee and then a sub is the perfect combo.
I own both. One is for when I travel and the other for just local every day use.
Which one do you prefer? :p
Your new Batman has slight thinner lugs than the original Batman. That’s another difference other than the new movement. Bear Clooney has a comparison video showing this
Thanks for clarifying! I mentioned this in my other video but left it out in this one
I have the 41 sub date. Also I have tried the GMT bat on my wrist. No doubtably sub is the best!
Wear it in good health, happy new year!
Thank you 🙏! Happy new year to you as well.
I now have a 126610ln and a 126710blnr myself on oyster! I am extremely happy with my two watch collection! What next? ;)
I was torn between Batman and Bruce Wayne, the latter won.
ugh that is such a dilemma!
I love my Rolex sub date, but I do wish I had a splash of color. Hoping to get a Batman or Pepsi in the future to compliment.
Some red text would be absolutely sublime on a sub!
The great thing is on new blnr you can order both bracelets and change it up
As „boring“ or vanilla as the black Sub may look, it is still the most iconic watch in the whole world and for that I just love it. If you could only have one watch for every occasion possible, you should always go for a black Sub.
Looks like the date magnification of the GMT is slightly bigger than the Sub. Correct me if I'm wrong.
The sub but with no date 😍
Totally
Fully agree, beauty and face much more cleaner
I prefer date !!
I have both. BLNR without a question. The Sub just doesn’t feel as special when compared to the GMT.
Definitely a greater feeling of elegance and opulence with the gmt, really can’t go wrong with either though! Great pieces
i find everyone has a black sub, although its a great watch.., so i have the 2022 batman with jubilee i love it and in contrast i have a 2019 james cameron deepsea. My wrist is 7.5 inch so both work for me. I have a pepsi with Oyster on order too....they should always be an oyster for its correct heritage.
I love me sub 2021 and just got the call from my AD that they have a Batman that I expressed interest in at my appointment in Jan. What should I do?
Buy it :))
How did you get an Oyster bracelet for the BLNR… thought you had Jubilee. I was told no way to pick one up at RSC.
It’s a separate watch. No longer have the jubilee 😇
Batman all the way. Unless you like Batgirl with Jubilee strap
I have both however Batgirl.👏🇦🇺
The GMT Master II is sooo unique so perfect 😍
Cool video! I own both the 116610LN and a 126710BLNR on Oyster. I admit they wear and come off as being similar but I love them both just the same. The Sub was my first Rolex so it holds a place in my heart forever but the Batman was the watch I've always wanted since it was released and I feel proud to own that one as well.
Exactly me (just BLRO instead of BLNR). The Sub is just THE watch.
Rolex Submariner Blows that Bat Man out of the water 💧
Batman 100%!
hope i can add a GMT in 2022 from AD
BLNR for me..
Contemporary look with an additional GMT function
Thank you for the comparison. Having tried both, the 41Sub is the definitive choice. The GMT Master as Batman or Pepsi is so much louder in its appearance due to many small elements, it totally lost the appeal of a tool watch but may even be too loud as a dress watch, while the Sub goes from the beach to the boardroom easily. I think Rolex needs to rethink what the GMT should be.
I will take both, please.
I’d take the 41 Sub over the Batman. Now the BLRO on the jubilee… much tougher call
Last year I was offered the Sub (no date version) by an AD and I turned it down. I had never shown interest in it much less requested it. I bought a Batman on jubilee (The Bruce Wayne) in October after requesting it in August. So for me, the choice is easy. The only thing I like about the Sub over the Batman is the quick adjust. It's better than the Easy link system.
I advise you to sell these two watches and buy GMT PEPSI & OMEGA SEAMASTER 003 NO TIME TO DIE
When I wanted to buy a sportive watch for myself, I was hesitating between this two models. Finally I decided to buy the Batman because it has a two colored bezel and one more function , and it’s also possible to dive (100 m).
Good call. Both awesome watches, arguably two of the best ever. But the GMT can for 99% of people do everything they need the sub to do and more
Glide clasp is cool but probably never needed unless actually over a dive suit or the case of a man and woman sharing the wearing of the watch. It takes up a lot of length for a clasp (meaning way less actual bracelet.
It's a fantastically useful addition, one I use everyday..we all tend to swell in the afternoon and shrink a touch in the morning so it's easy to make quick adjustments as the day progresses as we get a little fatter 😂...wouldn't want to be without it
I think the polished steel in the centrelinks is a nice touch which the sub should have.
👍⌚️
Congrats on both watches, put my name down at 4 AD’s for the submariner
Thank you and best of luck! That’s how I got my Explorer
Batman GMT is more useful. I'm not going to dive further than the bottom of a pool.
MY vote goes to the BATMAN .
Only one Rolex is truly king 👑. The OP 41 green 💪
Another excellent watch! Love the green
@@watchyourstyle I own one ☝️ so to me it’s king haha but these watches are bad ass of course
You should get the 36 explorer for your wrist. the sub and gmt is way too big.
I have one :) check my review of it
蝙蝠侠vs超人
Pepsi is king
Would love a Sub to give me a trio of cool watches. Currently the Snoopy and Planet Ocean… Sub… well, I’m on the list😂
The submariner is too big
The price difference between these two is as high as $5,000. So the Sub is definitely a better-valued watch, considering its brushed link, and 300-meter water resistance and chrono light lume.
Pepsi way better !
Only old Sub can beat BLNR
14060LV or 1680
new Sub are steps backward
Blnr ! Subs are so vanilla and boring ..besides whos scuba diving in a 15k watch lol
Sub all days , specially 126613lb/126618lb
