Got my new GMTII Ceramic and you'll never believe it...

[seadweller3]

... but the GMT function is working (knocking on wood) perfectly! I set the time and the GMT followed along perfectly and then I locked down the crown and voila! It has been spot on for almost 24 hours now.

Let's hope this continues.

Also, a few other observations...

1. The lume is better than most other Rollies I have owned.

2. The dial and markers are robust. Is this what they refer to a "maxi" dial?

3. The bracelet is very good and quite solid. NO squeaking whatsoever!

4. Crown guards are well done, IMO.

A question... is this a 1:1 with mods possible?

Thanks gents, and Happy Holiday to all!

The GMTIIc is a great rep. I wouldn't worry about the longevity of the movement, UNLESS...you cannot resist playing with the GMT hand and/or the independent hour hand (CHS). This will almost certainly kill the movement due to the modification they used, which is held together with spit and paper clips. Mine has been running perfectly. (ever since I got it back from Joshua after I F'd it up by setting the hour hand).

Yes...the bigger dial markers and hands are the Maxi dial and hands. Congrats...it's a great looking watch.

Only pet peeve so far is I am constantly wiping off the ceramic bezel. Seems like a haze on the bezel all the time. Is it possible there is residual coming from the bezel markings? Anyone else notice this?

Sometimes there is a residue from the factory. Give the insert a good cleaning with soap and water on a cloth. It should come right off.
