Excellent post! I couldn't agree more. The watch has clearly stood the test of time brilliantly, and there are a small handful of details that don't quite seem right today, i.e. the flimsy clasp, rattly hollow midlinks, twinlock crown, etc.
The GMTIIc has addressed all of these issues, so if Rolex can perfect their process to manufacture a multicolored ceramic insert, I think the GMTIIc will reign king and will carry us into the 21st century in style. Just imagine a Coke or Pepsi ceramic insert with brushed mid links!!
