GMT IIC Would you like it better if it wasn't so shiney...PCL et al?

I think I would...

This should be an option...a bracelet option?

gqllc · 3 November 2011, 01:44 AM

I prefer the PCL's but quite a few people brush it themselves...very easy to do

T-Rip · 3 November 2011, 01:58 AM

I love my GMT. Its the best watch I have ever owned. I agree at 1st the PCL are a bit much but after wearing it for a couple of days they make the watch a stunning piece. If you have the means I would highly reccommend the GMTIIc...

I love a JUST TAKEN for the Post Shot!!!

dddrees · 3 November 2011, 02:00 AM

I like it just the way it is. As said you can always get them brushed if you wish.

gqllc · 3 November 2011, 02:00 AM

Hey Tom,
You need to get your watch serviced,,,it is running 3 hours behind...

Just say no to PCLs on all "sport" watches.

YEP. That's what I'm saying...

humvee · 3 November 2011, 02:11 AM

No, I do not wish the braceelt on GMT2C was all satin. All satin, for me,
is an era of the past. THe next revolution in Rolex is ceramics and PCLs.

I like its bling and mirror like finish and the PCLs. I resisted these quite a bit
but then finally caved in. The satin finish on the SD and the DSSD is beginning to feel old school to me.

I think any watch thatwas not tuched on by Basel 2011, will be getting PCls in 2012. That's how I thik Rolex is upgrading their watches: Ceramics and PCLs to give them a newer modern look and based on GMT2C's success, looks like it has taken off!!

So I can't wait till I get my 2C.

You better not ruin that Humvee of yours with these RIMS!!!

warren G. · 3 November 2011, 02:21 AM

I prefer brushed, but the PCL wouldn't bother me or influences my decision at all..ymmv.

cedargrove · 3 November 2011, 04:00 AM

I think the PCLs match the shine of he ceramic and the dial very well and I prefer it 80% of the time. However 20% of the time fully brushed would be useful. Not enough that I would brush them.

Keeperoftime · 3 November 2011, 04:02 AM

I love it. But have thought many times about brushing the center.

threemonkeys · 3 November 2011, 11:14 AM

I love the look of the PCLs. But I'm somewhat OCD (seriously) and had to get them brushed.

IMO the PCL should stay with the GMTIIC. It makes it looking "sporty, yet elegant..."

drockadam · 3 November 2011, 11:48 AM

The PCL's are perfect for the 116710. I like them!

z32turbo · 3 November 2011, 12:31 PM

I think the PCL's look great on the GMTIIC.

tkc324 · 3 November 2011, 12:36 PM

I love the gmt2c despite the pcl... Doesn't bother me.

htc8p · 3 November 2011, 12:37 PM

yes i would, makes no difference to me. but the pcls really makes it stand apart from the sub. it makes it look more formal

Hear, hear.

landroverking · 3 November 2011, 12:50 PM

Don't care for pcl or the super case for that matter.

Runnin' Rebel · 3 November 2011, 02:28 PM

I love every scratch !!! I'm going rock climbing and play beach volley ball with it

Timber Loftis · 3 November 2011, 02:30 PM

I take it for what it is, scratches and all. I don't buy anything I own to baby it. YMMV, but that's just me.

I don't mean to start a mini-war, because I love most Rolex makes, but for me it's the best the best can get.

And that's after falling with this watch on and having the bracelet scar me for life -- my wrist will never be the same, lol. But the bracelet is strong as shit.

Atomant · 3 November 2011, 02:32 PM

I'm ok with either. But I'll pick the PCL over the BCL on the IIc.

Timber Loftis · 3 November 2011, 02:37 PM

Oh, and get it brushed if you want it brushed. Any watchmaker can do it, though I do take mine who's Rolex certified. You can find several pics of folks who've had it brushed on this website, should you want to see what it looks like.

SWIMPRUF · 3 November 2011, 02:41 PM

If I were to own a GMTII-C I prefer it stock.

Gharddog03 · 3 November 2011, 02:41 PM

Love the GMTIIc.
