Hello everybody,

One of the nicest watches I have ever owned, I love my GMT.

However, if you could change one thing about your GMT2c what would it be, and why?

NMS75 · 30 December 2010, 11:09 PM

The 'only' thing I'd change is somethning I'd change on ALL Rolex watches - get rid of the cyclops!

I don't hate the cyclops and it doesn't, in all honesty, put me off Rolex watches. However, I don't think it is needed and seems a little bit of an oddity to me.

I have to nick-pick to answer your question because I think the GMTIIC is one of the nicest watches you can own IMHO.

I'd like a glidelock clasp same as the 116610.

NOT A THING I LOVE MY GMTIIc

dddrees · 30 December 2010, 11:36 PM

I would like the ability to use a Pepsi and Coke Ceramic insert.

Who knows Rolex may yet figure this out.

I have yet to see a more 'complete' watch, it ticks all the boxes for me personally - I love mine.

I like the cyclops, it is a bit of an oddity admittedly, but an iconic part of the brand's heritage non?

I would love to be able to change the bezel insert, also a tool kit included in the package to change to NATO straps and suchlike would give a bit more of a focus on the 'tool' elements of the watch...

That would be so good.

The easy link is superb, but just not as superb as the glidelock!

Ozzie · 30 December 2010, 11:56 PM

I'd scale the numbers on the bezel down, they look way too large the Sub C looks fine.

Interesting, not something I had considered.

Photoshop anyone.....?

Well said.

I'd also like a red GMT hand option and no COSC text.

Porsche · 31 December 2010, 12:39 AM

I would also reduce the size of the font on the bezel, and I would also change the typeface used.... The one used is a little too "square" on the corners, I believe a more traditional font would suit better and look more timeless, the current one will date quickly....

esm · 31 December 2010, 01:07 AM

IMO - it is perfect. The Easy link works well. An extra 5mm-ish room does wonders. It is not a divers watch and will probably no need to have more room to go over a diver suit (how often do you see pilots wear his/het GMT over the coat?)

As for cyclops - IMO Cyclops = Rolex... So what's there not to like

Frankie13 · 31 December 2010, 01:13 AM

Maybe an option for the bracelet...with PCL or all brushed satin finish!
I'm thinking of brushing my bracelet to a all satin finish.

fc3s2k · 31 December 2010, 01:18 AM

No PCL (that's is why I got the SUB C)
Glidelock (look up)
pepsi/coke Ceramic bezel option

ingoodtime · 31 December 2010, 01:24 AM

I'd like a smaller 12 o'clock marker to make room for a larger Rolex crown and maybe larger font for the"ROLEX ". Also, the green font on the bottom of the dial should be larger. But to accomplish that, they might need a 42 or 44 MM case. Overall though, I obviously like it because I bought it!

Le Chef · 31 December 2010, 01:26 AM

Glidelock - it's better than the fractional link, red 24-hour hand - I miss it, brushed bracelet - get's rid of the bling.

That's why I sold my GMT C. I like the PCL, it's those large, bold numbers around the bezel.

KirkWilfred · 31 December 2010, 01:50 AM

Glidelock maybe but besides that....nothing. IMHO it is the most complete Rolex made.

hsfrank · 31 December 2010, 01:54 AM

I luv my GMT IIc but I'd luv it more if it had better lume!

Roley · 31 December 2010, 02:02 AM

Would not change a thing.....Great watch!
