If they can do it at 38 (the older MKIII C60 GMTs) then I think it is at least technically possible. The SW330-2 is 25.6 mm across. I have seen Glycine GMTs in 36mm before (they had 2893s in them basically). Since CW seems to have dropped the 38 GMT in the C60 line (presumably because of sales numbers) I would guess it isn't likely.

It would be interesting to see a non-bezel version similar to the Monta Atlas with the GMT time markings on the rehaut.

The C60 GMT in 38mm worked well IMO. Consider that the C63 36mm will presumably have a non-twisty and thinner bezel than the C60, and the dials will likely actually be the same size.

Photo for reference.

Would like to see the minute hand extended slightly so it touches the base of the hour markers.

I agree with one of the posters above. Cream dial would be very nice in a 36mm 63. 18mm lugs to please!!!
