Anyone ever put a GMT bracelet on their ceramic Sub?

I'm curious if it would fit and how it looks with the PCLs.

interesting idea ..

I had SuperJubilee from DJ36 on my SUB LV Hulk , and saw some guys wear GMT Batman on the same bracelet ..
that means LV - GMT would fit ..


but...
my RubberB strap (Black with green stripe) doesn't fit both models ..

The 97200 Submariner bracelet fits onto a BLNR - barely. Often, one has to adjust one of the springboard.

The other way around? BLNR bracelet onto a Submariner? Won't work.

I have to ask this: why in God’s boots would you want to do that? Buy a spare Sub bracelet and polish the centre links. Chad (Rolex Addict) polished the links on his LVc. As well as the faff of adjusting the springboard (whatever that means), you also lose the Glidelock.

Sounds nuts to me.

I hated this option and changed it back ASAP. Only did it out of curiosity

I'm strongly in favor of PCL's on GMT's (6-digit) and brushed links on subs. Any other way is just blasphemy!

im with you... the only thing that keeps me from loving the GMT batman is those center links... i have been playing with the idea of going GMT and not sub and just buying a sub bracelet.
