Droool. Congrats. Wow, the watch looks even better with BCLs. I tried it on yesterday, its's amazing.

Can someone tell me how you would go about swapping out the bracelet for a BCL? I honestly, do not mind them, but I will admit the brushed looks a tad better.

mjclark32 · 19 June 2013, 02:59 AM

I've always liked the brushed look over pCL's on the gmtiic

427shark · 19 June 2013, 03:02 AM

Wow I like it 10x better with the brushed center links

Speed · 19 June 2013, 03:49 AM

And the BCL Vs. PCL debate rages on. :-)

yld2rob · 19 June 2013, 03:51 AM

Bcl!

Well, it's not a debate because those with good taste prefer brushed

there's no need for that

Great pics. Give me an evil idea about my subc and my next purchase :D

Is SubC bracelet a perfect fit , it looks like it is on the pics, but I would like to be sure?

cmadams · 19 June 2013, 05:06 AM

Such a better look with BCLs.

Oh lord.

Well, I think it looks good both ways. Just less "dressy" with BCLs.

Spartacus · 19 June 2013, 05:30 AM

Can we call it something else, the bruiser name is a downer.

Maybe the Day-Night GMT

Anyway, I'll be getting a Day-Night gmt soon, I plan to keep the PCLs.

kroiden · 19 June 2013, 06:18 AM

Brushed links all the way! Much better than the original bracelet. Anyway, I hope Rolex don´t change it, as the polished bracelets are making me save money keeping me away from the GMTs.

LightOnAHill · 19 June 2013, 06:45 AM

I like the darker color the polished links give to the steel and think it matches the black face better than the brushed center links.

I'd stay original on this one

cop414 · 19 June 2013, 07:36 AM

Love the brushed look...

Jason71 · 19 June 2013, 07:45 AM

I like it

Steve748 · 19 June 2013, 07:53 AM

My GMT2c has brushed links as I think it looks better too...

Ps Why does 'silkroaded' have to quote the op? Isn't it obvious to what his remarks refer to which are virtually the same as everyone elses?

Nycturbovr6 · 19 June 2013, 09:42 AM

I'm starting to like it more and more

dukerules · 19 June 2013, 09:55 AM

Meh, don't love the watch either way.

crowncollection · 19 June 2013, 10:14 AM

looks great imho

wrxsti · 19 June 2013, 10:58 AM

impressive....most impressive

Lucky777 · 19 June 2013, 11:17 AM

Looks great

Daytona-Dan · 19 June 2013, 11:23 AM

I don't understand all the hate for PCL's. I love them with or without scratches!

Someone suggested that "Batman" was violent, I don't see how it's any more violent than the "Hulk". I personally love the Batman name and it fits well with the watch!

That's better than another place he could wear it...looks fine to me!

The Waddler · 19 June 2013, 07:05 PM

Love the Brushed look so much more than PCL's....

However, I think I want to like the blue/black much more than I actually do....

X2. On the black bezel GMT I think the PCL's look sharp even if they are a pain in the a$$ re: scratches. But on this watch, brushed looks great!

travisb · 19 June 2013, 07:15 PM

Gotta say, I prefer the brushed look on this one.
Thanks for the pics..

Bangel · 19 June 2013, 07:20 PM

Wow! I think the brushed look on the blue-black GMT really looks good.

Thanks for sharing the photos.

Hey, I'm not saying that bruiser is way to go on this black and blue GMT, it is just one out of many options.

Huge congrats on your watch!

However, trying to justify the word bruiser, not cool...

How about call the watch exactly the name Rolex calls it....

Chaching · 19 June 2013, 08:53 PM

Love the brushed look! Very nice!!! PCLs are a pain in the A@@! They scratch so easily!!! My Gold GMT IIc has little micro scratches all over the PCLs...drives me batty!!!
