Very nice, a good decision I like the look :o)

chrisshank · 2 February 2011, 01:18 AM

That looks great!

MortgageGuy · 2 February 2011, 09:27 AM

I love it

The more pictures I see of this I am more and more tempted to do this to my own GMT C

Congrats and a job well done

AK40DJ50 · 2 February 2011, 09:47 AM

I really like the GMT IIc and the brushed PCLs look great.

Rolex Freak · 2 February 2011, 12:16 PM

Looks nice. I happen to like the pcl myself, but this looks nice as well.

Dalton · 16 February 2011, 06:06 AM

I would do the same. nice watch

T.S.Eliot · 16 February 2011, 06:28 AM

Nice job on the bracelet.

On a different matter, if one polishes the inner links of the new SS Submariner, would it look as an original polished bracelet?

Cheers,
K

Frogman4me · 2 February 2011, 01:24 AM

Best move ever back to being a tool watch! I considered doing this to mine but just ended up selling it instead. Great work.

RFXMM · 2 February 2011, 01:34 AM

Funny enough I agree that looks good. I seem to have done the same to mine by wearing it as my daily beater absolute tool watch. The wholes bracelet has mellowed alot.

renfield33 · 2 February 2011, 01:38 AM

loooks great. can easily be reversed too, right?

Puffy · 2 February 2011, 02:18 AM

certainly different. i'm indifferent to PCLs or BCLs...

slcbbrown · 2 February 2011, 02:24 AM

Very nicely done, and first rate photography.

dardeca · 2 February 2011, 02:25 AM

Looks great...where did you have the work done. That is one of the best jobs I've seen.

dmacintyre · 2 February 2011, 02:27 AM

That's the way it should have left the factory. Great job.

CashGap · 2 February 2011, 02:44 AM

I like it, and I like the PCLs. If they sold it both ways, choosing would be more difficult than it is already.

On the plus side, it would give some an excuse to own one more SKU variant!

Enjoy.

Thanks guys. The requested wrist shots, using on-camera flash to show the effect achieved as clearly as possible (although the resultant lighting is quite harsh)...

Very well done.

Perfection would be to mount a SubC bracelet on it to get the new clasp as well.

Do you think Rolex will update the GMT-IIC and other models with the new clasp?

Explorer 2011 · 2 February 2011, 04:38 AM

Thats a beauty...

t e x · 2 February 2011, 04:39 AM

nicely done and looks awesome!

SS Oyster · 2 February 2011, 04:43 AM

Looks great. I had a GMT IIc before my current SubC (and 5513), but never liked the PCL's as they were scratch magnets AND as you say seemed just a bit too blingy.

Anyway, just wondering ... with both the GMTIIc and SubC now sporting supercases, would the glidelock bracelet from the SubC fit the GMTIIc? That way, you'd have ROLEX BCL's as well as a (IMO) better clasp.

Anyone know?

Atomant · 2 February 2011, 04:46 AM

Yes I think a BCL looks better on a gmt than a PCL. Nice job.

Lion · 2 February 2011, 05:06 AM

Tony, I happen to like and prefer the brushed bracelet over the PCL's...your watch looks great!!!

Kanger · 2 February 2011, 05:46 AM

Looks great. That will be the first thing I do too.

krzspeedstr · 2 February 2011, 05:50 AM

I like the bling and had the bracelet polished on my GMT but after all the scratches I decided that it was time to go back to the brushed look. I have to agree that after looking at what they did to your bracelet I dig the look of it. Nice work.

Kraftwerk · 2 February 2011, 07:29 AM

Beautiful job! Rolex should offer the option of either polished or brushed center links. The classic brushed SS Oyster bracelet is classy in its own right. I love both modern and vintage Rolex but if I had to choose, I'd definitely pick the classic brushed finish.
