I did it...(kind of)

As some of you will remember from my last threads I wanted to polish the centre links of my Hulk. However I did not have the courage to polish the bracelet.
As I have a GMT C it made sense to just change its bracelet with the Sub C bracelet.

Here is the result....

I think it works as it does on the Smurf, makes it look like a WG sub too.

I'm glad you found a solution.

Based on your last thread about "keepers," I suspected the PCLs on your GMT IIc would come into play somehow!

Chickened out, eh?

Looks great! Dresses up a tool watch. Now that you've done it, you might switch back and forth depending on the occasion.

Good solution, and you didn't have to mess with the factory finish of the Sub bracelet.
