You can change the bezel no problem, but I am going to guess that the endlinks on the Sub will be different than the ones on the GMT IIc, so what you would have to do is use your current Sub endlinks (and polish the center) with the IIc bracelet.

You can have the center links polished on any bracelet....

But, why would you buy a green Sub and try to make it look like a GMT....??

Why not just get the GMT to start with..?
