Icon4 Look what they did to this GMT Ceramic!

The Green Dial was exclusively made for the 18K yellow gold GMTIIc.
But here we have a one of a kind Green Dial on a TT GMTIIc.

So what do y'all think of this baby?

Ugh, I think it looks bad. It's way too colorful, in my opinion.

They obviously had to change out the 24hour hand as well from green to gold.

I hope you didn't put the pictures with the intention to make us hate GMT IIc lol.
Well jokes apart I don't like this color combination .But what matters the most is your personal likeness towards this green dial GMT IIc.

I have seen that pic before...that dial looks horrible with the TT, you need the YG to pull that off IMO.

I saw one like that on ebay. It was priced the same as retail for a TT and the seller had the dial changed, or changed it himself (can't remember which, he wrote back to me when I asked if that was a factory dial change). From what I know now, I would just save my money till I could afford the real deal gold GMT II. I like the looks though.

If I were given this opportunity before I purchased the SS GMTIIc, I would have jumped all over this watch. It would be nice to have a one of a kind.

I've seen the full gold version with that green dial. I think it would look good on a very fair-skinned hand.

Just my opinion.

No - I think the green looks stunning on the YG. Does not suit the TT

It reminds me of the Masters and Wimbledon. Kind of looks cool.

The green was bad enough on the full gold version.

I wonder what's next - a green dial, two-tone GMT2c with diamonds as hour markers?
