Which reference is your Submariner? Considering you said $7,500 I would guess it would be a Maxi-Case? To be completely honest I don't think I would ever buy one of those because of those huge shoulders, I love the classic Submariner case much better.(i.e. 14060, 16610, 5512/13) Same goes with the GMT, oh man I read an article where some guy went and bought a vintage Pepsi and Coke GMT Master. Those are beautiful pieces!!

the difference in price on that S&G though...
My S&G cost me a little over $3k where a 116613LN cost me alittle over $10k. Was the 116613 $7k more in terms of quality and materials? Definitely not, which is why i still have the S&G and not the other.
I go back and forth on the 16610 vs 116610 often. I still find myself wearing my 6 digit more often than my 5 digit though. But I have been liking bigger watches as of late so that is why.
