GMT II-c vs. new sub-c - wider bezel?

after my long debate btw the GMT II-c and new sub-c and after i finally made my decision and as its now dancing on my wrist, I'm still torn and I'm wondering whether the cerachrom instert on the bezel on the GMT II-c is wider than the cerachrom bezel on the sub-c, cuz the numbers dont is definitely "fatter" so is it? i'm curious!

also does it look bigger on the wrist?

They looked the same to me. Maybe because of the larger font the the GMTIIC insert



(I know I have been liking this pic often, but this is another great opportunity )

It's probably an illusion due to the different numbering scheme, but if you really need to know then measure with some calipers. Please let us all know. Cheers

I've also read somewhere that the cerachrom in the sub is more blacker than the one found in the gmt. Can someone confirm this?
