All the negative talk about the GMTIIc lately kind of baffles me as it is a beautiful watch with all the latest Rolex updates. I purchased this watch mid November and set the time to my atomic clock exactly within a week of ownership. Today I looked at the atomic clock in my Orbita winder to see how accurate the time is on the watch and it is dead nuts. So within in 5 - 6 weeks the watch has kept perfect time. I found this amazing for a mechanical device. I have been wearing this watch nearly every day with an occasional day off to rotate my other watches and it stays on an Orbita Monaco winder at night. Anyways a little positive up for the watch and its wonderful movement.

PS: The bezel has not broke, fallen out and there is not a scratch on it.

Good information my friend

Beto · 4 January 2010, 04:06 PM

i agree with you. i still love it regardless of my lume problem :D

Singslinger · 4 January 2010, 04:29 PM

Good to know. I have two friends with the S/S GMTIIc who love the watch and have no issues with it.

Having said that, I believe the TRF complaints about the watch are not without justification. They may be in the minority, but it does appear that in a small number of cases, defects seem to have crept into Rolex's manufacturing process.

Have to agree with you, Brian. I've had my TT GMT-IIC since Sept. and no problems whatsoever.

Accuracy, as you say, is truly mind-boggling with the new 3186 movement.

I totally agree, it`s one of the finest watches Rolex ever produce!

Speed · 5 January 2010, 01:19 AM

Nice to hear from the GMTllC Fan Boys.

I like the watch more and more.

jets · 5 January 2010, 07:19 AM

I am thinking of buying one. It's like a sport watch and a dress watch in one. On the other hand the DSSD looks so monster on my wrist...

2th Dr · 5 January 2010, 07:25 AM

I've had mine for almost a year now, without even so much as a hint of a problem. It's flawless, incredibly accurate, and is a beautiful timepiece! I love my GMT IIc!!!

armoredsaint · 5 January 2010, 07:27 AM

i've only had mine for 5 days and it's simply perfect.

jrssv · 5 January 2010, 07:44 AM

I'm another fan of the GMT IIc. If I could only have one watch for work and sport this would be it. The ability to use it for what it was designed to do, track a second time zone, is important to me.

esm · 5 January 2010, 08:02 AM

IMO - SS GMTIIC is a stunning watch. It would be my choice if I didn't have the Sub LV.

However, I'm eyeing a 50th anniversary YG GMTIIC with green dial at the moment..... Love green colour

jvo300 · 5 January 2010, 08:25 AM

I've had mine for a few months now and I love it. No problems!!!

spuds · 5 January 2010, 08:26 AM

Great to hear something POSITIVE about the GMTc!!

scl6118 · 6 January 2010, 02:34 AM

Thanks for the input! I love mine too!

JBat · 6 January 2010, 02:39 AM

Glad you're digging your watch. No question, it's a heck of a piece.

thecoinopcollector · 6 January 2010, 11:59 AM

SS IIC is number one alltime best Rolex sport Mosel IMHO.

therolexguy · 6 January 2010, 12:21 PM

since I think it will be my goal to get in 2010! WHoohoo!

Watchdog · 6 January 2010, 12:31 PM

Amazing watch.

I first had the SS GMTIIC, and honestly, that watch NEVER lost or gained a second. I have no idea how that's possible with a mechanical watch, positions, etc., but it was dead on all the time.

My current GMTIIC TT loses a second or two a day--still pleased and within specs.

What a fantastic Rolex timepiece.

Damavand · 6 January 2010, 12:32 PM

Just about two years old and still perfect.....:

...

Have banged her a few....droped her a few.....but still looks as good as the day one. Cheers to ROLEX genius and resilience...!!!

Don't believe in all the nay sayers....

Pep04 · 6 January 2010, 12:34 PM

I'm still in love with mine and I've had it since October of '09

nedned · 6 January 2010, 12:55 PM

Its pretty reassuring to hear those words of confidence on this exciting rolex variant ( GMTIIC). I have had mine for 4 months and am using it everyday. i want to give this to my son on his wedding day (btw he is only 20).

I drool for the 18kt yg green dial version but just can not
afford it. I fell in lust with the ss version and that I treated
myself to. It is the perfect watch for me and it gets most
of my wrist time.

hng · 6 January 2010, 03:13 PM

it's stunning, and keep 3 time zones btw...

Andad · 6 January 2010, 05:48 PM

Why thank you JJ.

I had a nice lunch with Janet and some friends from Melbourne today.

watchhound · 6 January 2010, 06:37 PM

I love my GMT11c. I wear it 24/7 and have had it diving with me. In fact I have another in gold coming with the grren dial. One thing though and I;m curious as to whether any of you have noticed. The bezel can be wiggled a little bit. Not clockwise or counter clockwise but the whole thing tends to feel just a tad loose whilst checking for freeplay.
