Question: which GMT has the widest bezel?

[daOnlyBG]

I've noticed that some GMT Master (IIs included) have bezels that seem thinner than others. Which one has the widest bezel?

Thanks in advance!

Widest or thickest? You ask about width then talk about thickness.

Widest are any ceramic model at 40.3mm. Thickest are any ceramic model and the 16760 GMT II at 3.0mm.

How they're profiled makes all the difference in appearance.

Isn't "thin" the opposite of "wide"? Perhaps "narrow" would have been a better word to use.

At any rate, by "wide" I am referring to the difference between the radius of the bezel that faces the outside of the watch and the radius of the bezel that is adjacent to the crystal.

Thick and thin are opposites. Wide and narrow are opposites.

The widest bezels are the ceramic at 4.9mm measuring from ID to OD. That's counting both the ceramic insert and metal bezel.

You're talking about the bezel insert width. I have been thinking about this for a while and while I cannot comment on the IIC models, I understand that the 1675/16750/16753 have a wider bezel than the sapphire crystal models (17610, 16700, 16760, 16713). It is this wider bezel aesthetic that I prefer and is why I am looking to purchase a 1675/16750.

For me, the combination of the wider bezel and acrylic crystal is perfect. I am less inclined to the 16710 et al. due to the narrower bezel insert.

If you're talking about the width of only the insert, not counting the metal bezel, then here are the approximate numbers:

Acrylic models: 3.85mm wide
Sapphire 5-digit: 3.45mm wide
Ceramic models: 3.75mm wide

Again, this is just the insert, not the overall bezel.

I realize that I never thanked 037 and shedlock2000 for their replies. How rude of me.

You two answered my question and then some. Thank you very much!
