GMT-Master II Batman or Pepsi Question

Post by MDF » Wed Aug 30, 2023 6:38 pm

I just have a case question for the latest iteration of the steel GMT Master II’s. Are the lugs on these the same as the last iteration of the Sub, are they chunky or did they slim them down?

Thanks,
Mark

I’m no expert, but it looks to me like the GMT Master II is still on the old 40mm “Super Case” and the sub (since 2020) is on the new stretched and narrow lug 41 case and 21mm width bracelet.

The newer 126710 lugs (still 20mm) are a bit slimmer and taper more than the 116710 (noticeably to me), so does not looks as "super" - which to me is a good thing as it feels much better proportioned.

I agree with you Rob - it doesnt look as much like a supercase to me either. Do you have one? Im a big fan. I have a friend that had a newish batman, it was pretty special.

This is correct. The lugs are different, and better, but it’s not crazy noticeable and you wouldn’t be able to tell at a glance on someone’s wrist.
