GMT IIC 2 years old Today !
I wear this watch 24/7 except when in the shower and working in a hazardous area that could seriously chip or scratch the crystal. It is a gem. 50,000+ miles, 4 continents, extremes of conditions, it has never stopped, or lost a part, or failed me in any way. It keeps near perfect time, averaging +.8 seconds per day. The new bracelet is perfect and I wear the expandable link as it was intended. The polished center links have 1000's of tiny scratch marks that show a rich, been there patina.
I do think, the green on the 24 hour hand and face has faded a tiny bit. I took the pic outside so it is not the best. Perhaps compare it to some of yours. I am not fond of the green hand as I use the 24 hour hand all of the time in different time zones and it is hard to see. The red hand on my old GMT "Fat Lady" was much easier to find. |

Thanks for sharing that. Love seeing the pictures of it at 2 years. I've had mine about 6 weeks and I love it.

Nice to see a lovingly used watch
 I think the SS GMT-IIc is probably one of the best daily wearers money can buy. |

Thanks for sharing your 2 year experienced. I hope I can also share my experienced after 2 years , I just got mine yesterday. Even though I bought it preowned, my 1 year old watch has no visible mark on the bracelet, bezel and crystal.

Congrats on you and your GMT's 2 yr anniversary.
I agree that the red hand on my 16700 was easier to see. My eyesight was a little better then too. Glad you're loving your GMT Master II c !!
