happy b-day chief - i was looking at a video of the tila nguyen shoot featured in your avatar last night - i'll email it to you as my presant (if you don't have it already)
it's no royal oak, but it certainly doesn't suck
costs would be 2 GMTII's plus time/labor of swapping parts.
i'd explain it, but i'll give all credit due to those that came up with the idea in the first place:

if i had my way and was willing to spend the $$$, i'd do the GMTII franken with the great dial/case and correct hand stack.
but that would still be after a 063/029. i'd also like a vintage 1675, but AFAIK no one has a really really good one (other than Euno, but we all know what he did with his franken....)
more than i relish seeing his wonderful reviews, i really hope that things have taken a turn for the better in the personal life. here's to a gent that we all have been sorely missing!
can't believe someone would get ripped for giving us a beneficial heads up on an update. IMO, B3K is way off base here.
eddie, thanks for saving me a couple of hundred dollars as an arktos was on my shopping list.
