It is difficult not to see the beauty in both models. Both Rollies are absolutely striking! However, I am now partial to the many design improvements now presently constructed into the new, and, heftier GMT II.

What lovely review, I really had not had one of these on the radar as I have not been a cyclops fan but this maxi dial seems to do it for me now.....mmmnn ££££££

Just bought the SS GMTIIC. Really impressed with the build quality and (thanks to this forum) the function of the easylink. I had originally chosen a Tag Carrera Twin Time a year back but having gone through the inconvenience of 2 factory repairs due to out-of-sync 24hr hand, it just had to be the Rolex and bye bye Tag. Little annoyed to have scratched the bright centre links on the seatbelt during recent flight but I hear the appearance will look better once there are a few scuffs from normal wear and tear. Happy camper so far!

stuttgart · 15 October 2008, 04:24 PM

thanks for the detail review... GMTIIC is really a fine watch...

sea-dweller · 16 October 2008, 10:50 AM

Nice review and photos !

golfball123 · 16 October 2008, 03:54 PM

GMT IIc all the way.....

Levelpar1 · 20 October 2008, 12:11 AM

Great write up. I have been enjoying new new GMT IIc.

Ztoke · 24 October 2008, 12:26 AM

Thanks Zrolex for the great review, and to others for beautiful pics and comments. Much appreciated.

RossInIllinois · 24 October 2008, 05:55 PM

It would appear now that the Sub and GMT are now in the same case with a different bezel ring and movement No?

I actually love the green for two reasons. Green is a great color and it somewhat blends into the black making it visible if looking for it, but if not, it blends to keep the dial more clean looking.

Brushed center links would be very nice. Some have done it themselves. I may be tempted to have my watchmaker do it for me --- professionally.

ajfjunior · 8 November 2008, 06:21 AM

excellent review and awesome pictures

ajfjunior · 8 November 2008, 06:49 AM

Question...
on the left side of the gmt 2c i see what looks like a "computer bar code"?? what is that? and is it on all the gmt 2c???

superdry · 9 November 2008, 04:34 AM

A fantastic review...

Newbie question have Rolex released a platty version of this watch?

JediRolex · 9 November 2008, 04:52 AM

That new bracelet looks like a machine! I would love to take it for a ride! But I don't like the polished center links, to much flash.

marshallr47 · 11 November 2008, 08:52 PM

Great review. Thanks.

Hi

I think it is the plastic protection around it. On some photographs you see the protection better.

alohanakoni · 27 November 2008, 04:43 AM

great one!

I just got a brand new GMT IIc from an AD last week and I have been thinking this exact same thing you said!

simoesm · 8 December 2008, 08:56 AM

Very good review. Thanks.
I have handled the GMT II and the GMT IIc. I prefer the first one on my wrist.
That is just my opinion. I like the new bracelet, though.

kingblackbolt · 8 December 2008, 01:36 PM

Excellent review and provides some great food for thought! Having Mike provide his usual stunning comparison photos really is the icing on the cake as well!

What value for your dollar in the SS GMT IIc!

shedlock2000 · 10 December 2008, 06:24 PM

Thanks for the review,..... Sadly it makes me miss my old GMT II,

A flip to the GMT IIc i should never made.

yannis · 10 December 2008, 06:53 PM

I think i will be getting the GMT II-c soon, but i would never drop my GMT II. You are right Steve. Just get it back when you get the bucks man! I mean JJ dropped his bluesy twice but now he got it back for good i think. Just get it back yourself too.

Niathan · 31 December 2008, 11:54 PM

IMO the GMT IIc would be even better if it stayed just as it is. But thats me

Duncan1 · 4 January 2009, 10:31 AM

Great comparison pictures....no longer have my pepsi but do have a new GMT II C...both handsome but different....what camera are you using....thanks.
