How about yourself?
I like it personally.

mikeyatc · 9 April 2011, 05:25 AM

Nope... too much bling

mrbill2mrbill2 · 9 April 2011, 05:26 AM

Sports watches aren't shiny. Dress watches are.

Depends.
Yes, a GMTIIC is a sports watch, but it is a Pilot's watch, and most of us knew that it is a "glamourous" job, therefore abit of shininess is all good.. IMO.

The only thing a pilot should have that is shiny is his liqour glass that he is holding while he is flying the plane!

I am very anti PCL's, they drive me nuts.

perceived as a glamorous job but in reality... not really.

cedargrove · 9 April 2011, 06:36 AM

I prefer PCLs on the ceramic GMT. They are consistent with the shiny bezel insert, and dial.

Sose · 9 April 2011, 06:37 AM

What's a GMC??

lol

It's unfortunate that a few moron pilots make it seem that all pilots are alcoholics.

This thread is about PCL's isnt it?

I've worn it for a while and I think it would look weird without it. Maybe, it's because I'm used to it but I think it looks fine exactly the way it is.

kctt · 9 April 2011, 08:12 AM

I actually like it. If only it wasn't so scratch prone, I would love it.

KKB · 9 April 2011, 08:17 AM

I like 'em shiny!

Dr. Robert · 9 April 2011, 08:25 AM

Bah humbug....do you even have to ask me?

LightOnAHill · 9 April 2011, 08:30 AM

Couldn't you brush them yourself with the SS model? I found a thread here where a green scotchbrite 20 pulls one way and 20 pulls the other way of a disconnected bracelet set a nice brushed look.

If I was flying an airplane that is exactly what I would want on my wrist - something shiny to produce glare in my eyes. I don't care if you are wearing polarized sunglasses it is still glare.

....If only you knew how not true this is anymore...

nauticajoe · 9 April 2011, 08:49 AM

I'm not a big fan of the PCL's on the GMTIIc.

threemonkeys · 9 April 2011, 08:52 AM

Love the blingy PCLs. Just not on my watch. Too impractical.

(213)GMT · 9 April 2011, 09:40 AM

Love them. I can see why so many people don't, but I dig em.

Rabanjr · 9 April 2011, 09:44 AM

I like em. So much that I wear my GMTII C on a NATO to keep the PCLs from getting scratched.

I agree. It's interesting to note that many other Rolex sport models (Daytona, Yachtmaster, etc.) have PCL's but no one complains about them on the various forums. Only about the GMT IIC.

Andad · 9 April 2011, 10:23 AM

I based my vote for PCL's on my TT GMT IIc. The gold looks excellent in a polished finish IMO.

But then I don't consider this model as a 'sports' watch.
