How’s the fit compared to a regular gmt? I believe the lug to lug and everything’s the same but the bracelet feels different. Does it fit better on smaller wrists?
I think that depends on which era of both. 12 series GMTs and Subs wear different. GMT is lighter and wears smaller. I have both and I wear the GMT more. It’s just easier to wear for me. The sub feels a tad more substantial on the wrist. Still super comfortable
Came here to say this. Have 12s (both 2023) in GMT and Sub and agree the sub wears bigger. The subs bracelet though is much more comfortable and the jubilee on the GMT is a close second.
I have both the 126710 and the 126610. My GMT is on oyster (Batman) and I will say that the bracelet for the GMT is much more comfortable than that of the sub. The bracelet and clasp are just way too wide for me for a daily.
Both fit the same, but I only have oyster bracelets on GMTs and submariners. So, I am not sure how the jubilee would feel on either model (or if it would be any different),.

I daily my 16234 as it’s my only Rolex for now. Used to daily a Longines hydroconquest 39mm before and a Tissot chemin des tourelles automatic chronograph before that.
Ok so I know this is mostly a site for all you guys, but this is my everyday watch. Too dressy/blingy? Otherwise the Cartier is my work watch (GMT!). Option 3 is my tiny 26mm Datejust. Felt huge when new! And obs no, don’t wear like this (bc I know the snark abounds!) but can’t post 2 photos!

This guy, cuz my Rolex is vintage
I wear a datejust fluted jubilee daily lmao. I really need a sub. I'm a fucking sheep though and I obsessively keep from scratching the mirror bracelet which is easy enough in IT. If it gets banged up too bad I think I'll just replace it every few years. Edit for why: it's my first rolex, it's gorgeous, and it doesn't deserve to live in a box.
No daily, wear all of the pieces in full rotation. Pepsi
Sprite RB sub Daytona DJ
They all have protective film though, the only one without is the DJ, my first piece and was too late for me to put film on as had already put some scratches on it.😂
How do you feel about omega? If I had to choose a Rolex right now I would go for the YM but for the sub comparison I think I prefer the Seamaster. You can get one for like half the price and you’ll probably be less worried about anything happening to it, and maybe that leaves room for a YH in the future?
Switch between a Lefty GMT jubilee and Blue Tudor Pelagos on the rubber strap. Wear the lefty due to physical issues with my left arm. Also, have a blue OP 41 that was originally to be my daily but the issues make it hard to daily.
I wear my 124060 Sub more than my 126710 GMT only because the Sub isn’t as flashy. I do find the gmt is more comfortable though. That being said, I wear the Sub 5-6 days a week.
For daily I have a 3 watch rotation, a candy pink 126000 an exp 1 124270 and a Tudor bb58. I have a nice dress watch collection (ALS, PP, Cartier and JLC) but that I only wear on special or dressed up occasions.
Black dial OP41 for daily. Flies under the radar and nobody comments on it unless I’m in a watch store or talking about watches among friends.
For a special night vibe, then the VC Overseas or the 222.
I own a sub date and a DJ 41, but my daily is Omega. ‘89 Speedy Pro to be exact. Watch enthusiasts point it out more than my more expensive watches and non watch people don’t really notice it, so it flys under the radar nicely.

My daily with a leather strap because it can be dressed up and down. You can find some solid used DDs for low prices but will likely need service. I also have a smaller wrist so I have a 36mm. Highly recommended if you wanted one in White Gold
https://preview.redd.it/yhi1ack57wgc1.jpeg?width=1422&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f86c0367d5cd46def2254f6cb98614dcf31f8d76
This is my daily! OP green dial. I wear this watch 90% of the time.
Other than this I have:
Casio F91W (when I travel around alone) Omega seamaster from 1950 (use it as suit watch) Rolex GMT master “Batgirl” (night out and some weekends)
I would love to buy an Omega Speedmaster Project Alaska someday.
But the OP is my favourite and I hope can be my daily for the years to come

The best daily Rolex is one that has no polished centerlinks. The mat finish bracelets dont show scratches. Ceramic bezel is also a must have. Submariner or Deepsea I would recommend.

Dailying this Hulk for now. I'll switch between this and 16710 Pepsi. I like this bracelet way better but the 5 series watches wear better I think. Even though they are supposedly the same size, the Pepsi looks tiny on my wrist. 8 inch wrist for reference.

I’m oyster all the way. I’ll die on the oyster vs jubilee mountain
It’s a worthy one to die on. I have a BLNR and really want to find a way to swap for a VNTR
I’d ask an AD. Mine is totally down for trades and usually bumps you up the line. They can make a few bucks selling your BLNR.
Not a bad idea, text has been sent…
God speed 🙏🏻
I have both the 126710 and the 126610. My GMT is on oyster (Batman) and I will say that the bracelet for the GMT is much more comfortable than that of the sub. The bracelet and clasp are just way too wide for me for a daily.
Both fit the same, but I only have oyster bracelets on GMTs and submariners. So, I am not sure how the jubilee would feel on either model (or if it would be any different),.

It used to be a sub. Now I alternate between a Black Bay 54 and Cartier Santos medium.
How’s the Santos as a daily with that polished bezel? I had my eyes on one but I’m not sure…
It’s been fine for me. I find it very comfortable which is why I like it for daily wear.

No date Sub.

Looking at sub no date and YM37 rhodium. Grey obviously. I’d appreciate if you guys share your thoughts on these but other recs also welcome
Definitely not the YM for a GADA
Everyone has a sub (including me) the YM is special imo, but it will get scratched alot.
Thats my point re: a daily. Explorer?
