I still would like to know more about the movement. Cheers

so is a Rolex rep then??? could it be one of those magnificent GMT with real GMT movement.

Which movement is that one; I am thking on buying a 2893-2 GMT, what you have look to be a better solution. nice build congrats cheers

Frank, Do you mind telling what is need it? maybe you should sell me your GMT and call it a day.

Well in that case is not something i can do myself. I am sure Rob should be able to do this; the question will he do it. this is getting out of hands. thanks

Pretty cool

so the eta movement will fit the asian 1655? Please I need to know ASAP so i can buy the mt movement.

is the DG movement not sure what model, I wonder if he can source me just the case I do not want to buy another watch to finish otherwise I will have to ditch the project and let someone else deal with it.

Thanks Andy. I guess is possible then to put a 2893 in a josh 1655 case that came with an asian movement? probably will need a new movement ring!

Actually is not a bad idea. I will ask him and see what he has to say. what I am doing is turning his 1655 into a 1675, some guys have done that already here, there is no accurate base for a 1675 other than going from 1655 to 1675. I have a gen dial and the watch I purchased from Josh has an asian movement not very realiable but for 140 dollars what esle can I expect. If I use a true GMT movement the watch build will get close to $900 which is not that expensive considering that for $3000 i can get a decent Gen 1675. Ivan

I hear you and that is why I ask, so not oll ETA have the stem in the same position, this new Josh 1655 it supposed to be made from a genuine and it can take gen parts. but I can not tell for sure. Thanks

what about a 2893-2 real GMT this will also fit or should I be concern of the stem position? thanks

I faded the insert. I think looks great.

that is what i am trying to do but where do I get one. Do you have a source. Thanks

I am thinking in buying a modified ETA GMT, so i will be using the asian date-wheel overlay Thanks

I was wondering if the 2893-2 or 2846-2 ETA modified GMT movement will 1655 josh's case that came with an Asian movement. any takers? Thanks

I am with you bro, last night I was removing the 1655 gmt hand from the asian movement and the whole gmt wheel came off, I should order an ETA but I was going to switch the movement and try to use a gen date-wheel. here is dial before restoration this is after The Zigmeister's magic

I sanded and now it fits, but I would to have a kind prefect fit where no sanding is need it. besides i cracked a little bit when on the side maybe i pushed too hard. by the way i have the dial back from The Zigmeister I am still waiting on the Mercedes hands and still need a GMT hand. any ideas. I was gong to use a zodiac 75b but is impossible to get one at least for a good price,

Do you mind telling me how you faded the insert? I have a WSO insert put in bleach and pool chlorine but it looks the same no fading at all. thanks

Thank.s I ordered both just in case, now to wait. Again .........

I have two numbers for the plexi c19225 and c8496 any one of those rings a bell?

do you have the part number by any chance; What method you used to install it, can you elaborate thanks

I can not use the old one because the 1655 did not have one

Today I received that final piece to finish the conversion from 1655-1675 nevertheless is the most important one that makes the watch a 1675. is the wholesaleoutlet complete bezel assembly. It looks like the tropic is too big for the retainig ring or Vice-versa I am using a Clarks 116 plexi, is there another plexi that I can use?

So how much the real one cost?
