I haven't seen one first hand yet, but I'm pretty sure the bezel is ceramic.

hmmm. Not nearly as familiar with GMT's as I am Subs. Any GMT experts want to break this one down?

that i really don't understand!! bp was one of the first maker to have correct slim hand on sub, and fat hand on gmt II, now that all makers got the subs c hands right, bp go back to wrong hands on this new model of gmt II.. WTF!!
BP has a fews gmt c with correct hands, the difference with this new model is just the bezel, so why would they put the wrong hand and go back to a year or two ago..

It's to sell more updates, i understand this but i mean, this is bad because it shows that makers could get more things right on our reps, but they prefer to go one step back at every step forward...

Prob just had some extra fat hour hands laying around and don't really care..I doubt they have someone like angus critiquing the watch and telling them what to do next like noob w/ the v2 subc

I saw this and nearly went for it, but thought I'd wait for a review on here to ensure the bezel is ceramic and it is better than the $250 'fun' version being offered by another TD...

I love the GMT2c and this is my favourite bezel, so this watch is firmly on my To Buy list

Me too, but i gonna wait for a update with correct hour hands for sure, or maybe wait for an other maker to make one, maybe noob could make a new gmt with the finish of the expII or the new subc... that would be really awesome!!

Do Noob currently make a GMT2c? If not, it might be too far off (if in the pipeline at all) for me...

I'd be happy with something of the quality of the exisiting BP GMT, just with the right hands, decent bezel and the all white text dial.

That looks nice ! Blue looks too brighter to me for some reason...

...The one on Ryan´s (InTime) site is a BP factory, and the same on those QC pics.

Cheers,

Something very important to know!
The insert is all blue ceramic. The black part is a coating. Told to me by Andrew.
So interesting to know how fast it picks up scratches and what the durability is.

Not surprising, this is how they did the fantasy pepsi and coke ceramics too (black insert with red part coated/painted on) - Most people who own those have said it holds up pretty well, so there is that.

Well you can't do a pppp mod on this, the scratch part will definitely damage the coating. So you have to live with white numbers, that's all I'm saying ;-)
