Is there such a beast?

Sure... references 78360, 78790 and 78790A.

But, it might help to specify which model of stainless GMT II you have. There are four now. Not all bracelets fit all models.

I believe not, but you can easily brush the bracelet yourself (via a professional of course). There is a member on here (Clive I believe) who frequently puts up a pic of his GMT with the bracelet brushed and the cyclops removed. It looks amazing and is the reason why I want a GMT next if I get another watch.

That sounds interesting, so if Clive or anyone who has his info chimed in - I would be grateful.

I no longer have the watch but had mine done by an AD and they did an excellent job. Of note, I happened to be in Baton Rogue, LA and went to two different ADs. One refused stating "Rolex policy". Sorry but I have no info on Clive.

I purchased a 97200 Sub bracelet for mine. Love the brushed look and the GlideLock.

No problem. I have a collection of 5 digits and have worn GMT Masters for years.
When I bought the ceramic, I just couldn’t adjust to the PCL’s on what is a tool watch. PCL’s look great on my DJ’s, but Rolex shouldn’t have used them for the GMT IMHO.

Yes, the 78790A is all brushed, as was the oyster bracelet for ever GMTII made for about 25 years.

There isn't unfortunately, but I put my BLNR on a SubC bracelet in 2013 and haven't looked back - it's really the PERFECT watch with that bracelet!
