I noticed something...
The sound of my GMT-IIc movement is louder than my that of my Sub. When I put up the Sub to my ear, it's harder to hear than my GMT-IIc.
Could it be because the Sub has a thicker case back?

I agree, tht GMT IIc has a loud movement compared to any other modern Rolex. I was surprised how much louder it is compared to my GMT II "D" series Pepsi. On the other side of the scale, I was surprised how quiet my Milgauss is -- probably because of the encased movement.

Youssef....mine ticks louder, or at least differently, when compared to me DJ's and DD, I don't have any other sports models so I can't compare with them, my other three are all 80's watches so I just put it down to a combination of the GMT being newer and of course being a different case.....if I could describe it I would say it made more of a "ping" sound with each tick if that makes any sense....

Of course it is louder . . .
It has so much more to say. It's telling you, "Hey look at my . . . MULTIPLE TIME ZONES CERAMIC BEZEL PARACHROM SPRING AMAZING CLASP."

Ha Ha .. Love what KingKongKelly has to say.
Yes the GMT IIC is almost crying out loud for attention. Possibly the 3186 is a louder movement. Think about it, all these people walking around all day with earphone on and loud music blasting away. Rolex is just being smart and producing a louder watch for an increasingly "Hard of Hearing" generation. |

My 16610 is louder then my 116233. They sound different also; which is interesting because they are both 3135.

My '03 TOG resonates in E. Honest, I checked it against a tuning fork yesterday!.
I speculate that your larger watch will resonate slightly lower, given the mass. |

My GMT IIc is so beautiful to listen to! It's like there's a tiny symphony in there! I love it! First time I heard it I was lying in bed and I had my arm under my pillow. I heard this "chiming" and I thought "What the...?"
