GMT2C on an Oyster.....Pics

The GMT ii oyster was spare as it's on the Super Jubilee - so thought I'd stick it on the 2C....

No more PCLs...

Took some pics..sorry for the lighting...night time..quickly taken...

and I know..I'll find something else other than jeans!!!

What do you think?

Now you got me going ... I'm really tempted to brush my center links on my GMT2c . That will stop be being "anal" about scratches etc.. It looks more professional that way IMHO

Those brushed center links look so natural, great combo.

Well done Dalip, I think the brushed bracelet looks way more cool on the GMT IIC than PCL and certainly a great match for Denim

Don't count on that .. sure that the end links will sit differently somehow

Like the all-brushed better than the PCL.

I put my Sub bracelet on my 2c- It made an amazing difference. Subs with solid end links fit just fine, you just need to use the pins from the 2c to hold it on.
Now I'm really torn.

I agree Brandon.... It think it gives it a much better look...suits the tones of the watch and makes you focus on the bezel....am going to enjoy it like this for a while I think

Very nice Dalip ...... I think it makes the watch look more sporty looking without the PCLs.

Nice Jeans ;-)

Seriously, not bad. Would be great with the new clasp. Will that fit on an Oyster?

I did the same thing to my GMT II c right after I bought it. I think they look better this way.

May well do Bill.. Will have a look
Although...I like having the quick option of sticking the original pal bracelet back on

Glad you like the jeans
