I don't have a GMT IIc. But I do have a 16710. I prefer the older model GMTs to the new GMT IIc.

I own a SubC & wouldn't consider a GMT yet... unless I had enough money to buy several other watches before I decided my collection needed another sports/tool watch. Nothing against the GMT ii, I just had to get the Sub!

I like the GMTIIc, but I don't love it.
I think the pcls detract from its beauty, although the YG version looks awesome.

I bought a SS GMT2c 3 years ago and it became my most worn watch. I found the two time zones were useful for a Brit spending time in California but last year I had to sell it to pay some builders bills.
As it was a daily wearer I had the pcl's brushed because it had a fair few marks and looked a bit scruffy.. Hopefully I will be able to replace it soon as I miss wearing it. |

My brother bought the GMT IIc and loves it. I haven't bought it as it doesn't appeal to me. However, the Explorer I does and I am buying one next week. AM.

Funny, the people who have a problem with PCL's probably "love" the Daytona or YMII yet call the GMT "disco/nite club". Hypocrites, no? I love my GMT IIc. Brushed out the pcl's and it's more comfy than a sub c. Get over it people, it's just a watch!

Well I am a bit GMT nvts!!! Part of the reason is that for me its a tool watch... I am always in different timezone so it really helps me track Home time and Local time easily! I can't do with out my GMT's...

I had GMT IIc for 3 years, then traded for hulk, then bought EXP II... I never look back. I just couldn't deal with PCL like some folks here.

not really hypocrites. The daytona does not have a ceramic bezel ( YET). As such, the PCL compliments the whole watch as a whole.

I brushed the PCL on my gmtiic and it has become one of my favs in the rolex line after the dayto.
I don't get it when people say "i don't like the pcl because i like to keep it original.." It's a pity because the iic is such a solid piece, to not try it or buy it because of the pcl, which is basically brushable and polishable, is missing the whole enjoyment of it. Previously i disliked the blocky case of the iic. But after trying it on a few times, i find that it sits perfectly flat on the wrist so much so it's like part of you. I also have the old iconic sub when i wanna feel lighter. |

I am ok with the case design, no complaints on that.
Maybe the PCL is the root of my misery! :) Any pics from owners here who have brushed off the bling on their GMT IIc? |
