Two years later and two kids later finally ...
I finally have a GMT IIC again. Sold 3 GMT's I had when Kid 2 and 3 were on the way... Now finally have one back and this one is here to stay.

Congrats. Great looking watch. It's amazing what we as parents give up for our kids. It is great when the time in life comes that you can replace them. They end up meaning that much more to us at that point as well.

I really like the polished mid band. That really accentuates the watch. I wish they start this in SUB also.

Thanks! I don't plan on it :) it's coming back from Rik. The original owner had never had it serviced and was not running when I bought it. He had box ,papers, anchor, red tag. Complete :) I can't wait to get it back!

The GMT 2c is the Rolex I recommend to new purchasers. It's a classic in the making.
