The new bruiser with brushed bracelet
Isn't the internet a wonderful thing? :-)
The user Time2time over at Timezone already got his GMTIIC black 'n blue and already swapped his wife's SubC bracelet on it for everyone's enjoyment. ![]() ![]() ![]() Just in case someone was curious! :-) Here are some photos of his stock GMT. ![]() ![]() Here is the entire thread http://forums.timezone.com/index.php...=0#msg_6538430 |

I'm liking the brushed center links from the SubC bracelet more than the original GMTs PCLs. Some time and scotchbrite might be a nice conversion...at least until the first RSC service

He wears that watch more on his hand than his wrist.

thanks for the link.
for the regular LN version of the GMTIIc, i think PCLs or BCLs is a push, but, for the black 'n blue, i have to say that BCLs look SO much better. ![]() ![]() ![]() ........but, "bruiser"?? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() i remember when during the basel announcements some people on the boards saying that nickname brought up images of domestic violence, so, i respect that and refuse to use that nickname. |

Looks better each time I see it, prefers the brushed look as the bezel stands out more.Thank you for posting.

I love PCLs but brushed looks better in this case.

I love it with the brushed links! These pics definitely do the watch more justice than the pic on Rolex's website.

Brushed...I'd be convincing my wife that the PCL's look great...and "unique" on her Subc!

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. |

This watch should have been released with brushed links from the get go. So much nicer... we can only hope that the Pepsi version is released true to its lineage with brushed center links.

Brushed looks much better on tool watches.

Looks wayyy better with the brushed bracelet.

Great piece either way....but am I the only one who thinks the original PCL's add that extra flare not provided by a standard SubC bracelet?? PCL's on this one all the way!

The black and blue work well together in my opinion along with the white/cream of the hands and hour markers. I think the all brushed bracelet looks good and I reckon it would also look real good on black leather with white stitching such as a Hirsch Liberty

I'm on the same page as you - I actually find the LN bezel GMT to look better with the PCLs, but this BLNR looks better on brushed! Wow.
thanks for sharing PS - Now let's see this bad boy on a black, royal blue or gray NATO! :) |

Wow this watch looks amazing compared to the stock photos! Even more with brushed center links. The stock Rolex pics makes it look purplish, but the blue color is great!

Looks great either way. PCLs dress it up, BCLs dress it down.
