Hey Guys,

Some of you may know I just bought my GMT IIc at Heathrow airport a few days ago. Well I thought it would be nice to try something different and put the GMT IIc on a black alligator Strap. So today while walking around Manhattan I went into a Rolex dealer and checked out some straps.. and ended up with this one...

What do you think?

I think it looks great!

And, you can always reverse it.

Very nice!

I love the strap.

Leighton · 16 July 2008, 07:59 AM

That's kind of nice! How does it feel compared to the bracelet?

Luminor · 16 July 2008, 08:01 AM

It looks great. That's what i'm looking to get done for the winter!

learnmore60 · 16 July 2008, 08:01 AM

it feels more snug compared to the bracelet and I'm less worried about scratching the bottom on metal surfaces, i.e. when typing on a laptop :)

Very nice & different (which is a good thing). Congrats

I'm a huge fan of black straps with steel watches....that looks great to me. When I read the title of your post I thought the IIc might be a bit bulky for a strap but I gotta say it looks right to me.

Tones the thing down a bit you know. One of the issues I have with the new GMT is that it REALLY stands out and sometimes I get a bit self conscious about that type of thing.

Looks great............

I normally hate straps, but I have to admit that it looks really nice.

Don't let JJ see this...

MikeV · 16 July 2008, 09:34 AM

I like it...especially with the white stitching. Do you mind if I ask you what brand and how much you paid for it....you can pm me if you don't want to advertise the price

Perdu · 16 July 2008, 09:45 AM

I like it - nice to have a change.

tphan · 16 July 2008, 09:50 AM

Straps on a super case stainless watch...hmmmmm.

Look nice...of course...it's a Rolex.

Daytona on strap, Sub on NATO, but not this one.

Just me...

kcmo · 16 July 2008, 09:51 AM

I'm more of a bracelet girl but this one looks great!

Letsgodiving · 16 July 2008, 09:56 AM

I'm not too sure about the block case with that strap for me.

frostie · 16 July 2008, 10:28 AM

Interesting looks

portable75 · 16 July 2008, 10:31 AM

looks nice!

marshallr47 · 16 July 2008, 10:37 AM

Looks great to me. Rolex on a strap is a nice touch and changes the appearance of your watch. Thanks for sharing.

Me too........oh, except for that bracelet girl part!!

birdieman · 16 July 2008, 11:00 AM

Looks good. I posted a question last week about putting a gator or croc band on the GMT II. Glad to see one and it looks better than I thought.

I would also like to know how much you paid for it. Please PM if you do not want to share in the open forums.
