Thanks for taking the idea and hosting it out there. I was tempted to host it on a rouge FTP server I have access to, but this works!
+1 FxrAndy, we need a PDF library here.

What is the difference between a rep and a gen crown ???? a 1/10mm thick ??? the price ??? more its expensive, more its good,
Yuki dials ? they fit cheap rep cases ? normally they have been developped to rebuild gen watches, no reps.
Gen crowns have slightly different shapes in most cases, in addition to "sharper / crisper" coronet, dots (triplock), underline etc.
As for fitment, sometimes things fit, or you have to modify things.

I used the print feature to print each page to PDF. If you are using a Mac, you can use Preview to merge PDF's to one, or for free online alternative: www.mergepdf.net

This is the time of day to run a backup. No one is ever posting during these times.
You mean the time of your post ^^^^^? I would agree, only us night owls in North/South America, Asia are up, or super early birds in EU.
If you meant Midnight GMT, then I would disagree, as this is 8PM, 7PM, 6PM, 5PM, across North/South America and thus the current moaning and groaning...

Nice find. I "ripped" it into PDF file(s). Too bad the upload limit here is 10mb
How to distribute the PDF version.... -

@docblackrock - nice details....
Add to the nicknames of Pepsi GMTs:
The Selleck
The Magnum
The Pussy Galore (Pussy wore one in GoldFinger, and is a common nickname, although that was a 6542 IIRC)

Excellent.
Based on what Ubi said, should you end up with a NDT or overly yellow dial, I am thinking a "scratch removal brush/pen" might be used successfully to accomplish the layer of yellow removal.

+1 on the White as well.
If anyone can pull this combo off it is you for sure. Like Ubi said, in a perfect world you would have BOTH. -
Normally I wouldn't post this many on a W/C but it was too hard to pick one.

Looks great DL! I love Omega's hands on this GMT.

Very nice.

Very nice.
Look into a Yuki insert/pearl possible. Even sourcing a gen lumi insert might be an option, as that is what you would get from a servicing.
Question, how well did the Clark fit on the MBW case? Also, there are various MBW cases, do you remember the SN:?
Looking good.

:wub: I have no words.... Can't wait to see the finished product.
The key-lining, font and overall alignment is perfect IMHO.

+1 on the Soxa.

Ronin, your watch is a knock out. The color looks accurate, nothing like this yellow on NDT's site. So is your dial a different color or it just doesn't look right on the site?
highoeyazmuhudee, care to share your recipe for baking?
Star69, Please be sure to let me know next time you run into a pristine gen for "little more / same" as a Yuki dial.
The pictures above are pretty accurate for the color (at least on my monitor). Actually, in certain light, my lume appears more "peach" color, or more flesh tone. I think Ubi may have re-dyed it to be honest. Hopefully he will chime in here. I know he dyed the hands to match successfully.
I will post a better macro of the dial a little later.
Score!
