I was kind of relieved when my SubC gone, even though I loved it to bits and all the hype about it, but it was getting bored in me a little bit by bit day passed by, the glidelock was a genius work but the long clasp lost me (almost the length of my 6.5" wrist). It's definitely a tool watch, you can wear it everyday everywhere, goes with everything easily and nicely, but the love from the beginning did not grow any further to say the least, sadly but I parted way with it after nearly 4 months, maybe down the road, I might pick up the LV but it would be another story.

The GMT2C arrived 10 days later to fill the hole in my heart (and a space on my wrist lolz), probably till the next Exp2 launch (never knows) but at least I am enjoying the GMT2C more than I enjoyed the SubC, the PLC might drive me crazy later but at the moment, I love it !!!! so shiny, walking on the street on a sunny never feel better lolz ... the 24 hour hand is another genius work by Rolex too ! and I think the green hand is really nice, I actually prefer green than Orange in the future EXP2 (for now, have to see the watch myself first whenn its out) ... for now, I will surely enjoy the new GMT2C ... till another day

pics to follow later ;)

A chump, eh? Well, congrats on the watch anyway :-)

dddrees · 20 July 2011, 08:45 PM

Sounds like the GMTCII is doing it for you, Congrats.

rolexsweep · 20 July 2011, 08:47 PM

i love my gmt2c... the green 24hr hand is great because it blends into the black dial when i casually glance for the time and does not interfere with my reading, and when i need it for another timezone i can easily look for the green hand.

I love my IIC. I do wish the green hand was slightly thicker to be more easily seen in lower light at a quick glance but then again, the white triangle does stand out most of the time.

Can't say I love my GMTIIC more than my Sub C but both are really great watches.

Congrats!!!!!!

xjeeunitx · 20 July 2011, 09:13 PM

Picture!?!?!

Either way, congrats!

I went from the GMT to the Sub...

Dan2010 · 20 July 2011, 09:17 PM

Did the same thing too. Sub C is great but just too damn boring.

mjclark32 · 20 July 2011, 09:22 PM

Congrats!

Sherwooddavid · 20 July 2011, 09:26 PM

Glad your happy with your GMT11.

gregmoeck · 20 July 2011, 09:39 PM

i owned a subc, the lugs were too long, i was afraid to break the ceramic bezel and the buckle was too big and too long, but overall the bracelet was an improvement.

TSW · 20 July 2011, 09:43 PM

Congrats!

texex91 · 20 July 2011, 09:49 PM

Enjoy the GMT!

Watch Professor · 20 July 2011, 10:51 PM

Good choice.

chicagofan · 20 July 2011, 11:21 PM

Congrats. Glad you're happy with your GMT 2.

BeekerMuppet · 20 July 2011, 11:27 PM

You did good, congrats!

phampau · 20 July 2011, 11:36 PM

Congrats, enjoy!

Joey_V · 21 July 2011, 12:56 AM

Both is best... but if I had to choose one, it's a tough choice! Either way, congrats!!

herdinoh · 21 July 2011, 01:00 AM

I love my gmtc. However, I would like to have a subc LV. Congrats

ManUtd · 21 July 2011, 01:03 AM

good one Stev - glad you have finally found a 116710LN

i think you will like the 42mm EXPII too - you can "play" with mine when it arrives

sleddog · 22 July 2011, 09:32 AM

Good for you.....Although both watches are a delight in my book, you need to be happy with your choice! Congratulations!
