Slightly thicker case, 0,5mm if I remember correctly.

It's a silly moniker for a particular variant of the GMTII (model 16760). Also sometimes refered to as the "Sophia Loren". It's kind of like people calling the green dial subs a "Hulk".

Or "Batman" for the new black/blue GMT.

Nicknames are silly. I hate Batman and Hulk.

When the GMT BLNR came out, everyone was more concerned with being the one who named it rather than posting real information. Search "batman" as a topic titles search and you'll see what I mean.

The only 2 nicknames I really use are Pepsi and coke for bezel inserts. I'd use the letter identifiers but no one would know what I was on about
