It looks like it has the wrong dial on that watch. I think you got a black/blue dial on the original GMTIIc.

Factory mistake?

Anyway, blue does not look right on that watch.

Send back to Rolex to get it corrected.

I have yet to see another GMTIIc in public, let alone one with the wrong dial on it.

Where are you guys spotting blue lume GMTs with a green hand?

I probably have better chance of finding the chupacabra.

Well, aside from the OP's there's another one on WUS. Better call the myth busters, I think the chupacabra may be real.

Peitron, darn! So the chupacabra is real.

So does that mean that the blue lume GMTIIc with green hand and black ceramic bezel is now officially called:
The chupacabra

We have the hulk, smurf, batman, and the chupacabra Rolex. Awesome!

Geesh, I hope that nick doesn't stick. I can imagine the hundreds of thread explaining the origin.

Icon6 Rolex GMT-Master II (Ref 116760 BLNR)

Last week I pick-up a Rolex GMT-Master II (Ref 116760 BLNR) from my AD,
beautiful watch, but I cannot see the etching at the 6 o'clock marking.
Tried with LED light, loupe 30X, nothing, could not see it. My AD say he could see it with no problem. The watch was delivered to my AD directly from Rolex Canada. So guys what is the scoop?

Don't worry, it's there. Angle is everything.

THANK YOU! This is excellent. I like the green lume MUCH better, not only for looks but mainly for function. I guess my GMT is now a permanent keeper.
