You owner of the GMT2c..
If you need to say something not good about the watch, what would it be?
Im getting myself a new watch in 2 days i think...And its in this order right now: GMT2c Milgauss GV EXP2 White |

I love my GMT-C, it's perfect. No complaints. I love the "easy link" system in the bracelet. You wont regret it.
Now about the Milgauss, I had one of those too, and I found the lack of date feature bothered me, as did the lightning bolt hand (it looks trendy). It has a GREAT weight to it, feels nice on the wrist. Wait for the new EXP II next year! |

GMT has the clasp i want, and its a perfect daily beater. It has date which is the only thing i miss on my Daytona. And..its ceramic which is really nice.. |

id definitely choose it over the Milgauss and the Exp, my consideration if i was buying one today would be between the GMT-C and the Sub-C |

I love my IIc. Beautiful and functional. Mine keeps time better than 2 seconds per month. I hate to take it off, even to wear my DJ or my Omega Seamaster Professional (both of which I love too).
The only things bad I can say are 2 problems reported here on TRF: $1,000 plus to replace the ceramic bezel insert if it shatters The uncommon problem of the welded parts in the clasp failing.

The GMTII C is a great watch. I did not mind the polished center links till recently as for me, it is a little too flashy and really easy to scratch. The watch stands out a bit for my taste but many people enjoy that part. Overall it's an amazing watch and the movement is spot on as mine deviates +2/24hrs. Go try it on and if it sings to you then buy it but to me based on your list, the GMT is the clear front runner. GL!

dont really have to worry about the bezel because it's so rare and the other stuff really depends on how u take care of your watch

II C is a fantastic watch. Accurate to 1 sec./day. Though they tend to scratch, I love the look of the polished center links. It dresses up the watch.

IIc . . . . don't like the polished center links. I had mine buffed out in 10 minutes.
Otherwise, it's a great watch. Great fit, solid feeling, outstanding bracelet. You can't go wrong.

Yes I have a GMT2C and it's a keeper. Had it a year and love it still more than any other watch I own. Feel wrong when I don't have it on. Immaculate time piece.
I can't think of any issues or things I'd change. |

I love mine. Even the PCL may get scratched, it is a really nice fit with the ceramic bezel.

I could do without the PCL's...
You would face that in the Milgauss as well, I worry a lot less when I'm wearing the ExpII.

I've owned one in the past, and have to say it is a very special watch No complaints this end, sold for the sole reason of needing the cash to purchase a flat

Make sure you try them all on in person and wear them for a little while if possible. You have to really like the maxi dial and squared lugs on the iic to be happy with it. eii polar is a much mellower watch than the other two but has same 3186 movement without squared case and huge dial and bezel numbers. But I don't think you go wrong with any of those choices!

PCLs are a problem but you already have a Daytona so you know that, I woud also wait for the new ExpII.
