Ok guys, I´ve been reading so much now about this and now I´m confused, Is this wastch a V2 or V1 Navitimers Fighters SE?
-
I got this watch in the silk market in Beijin, 200 USD
-
Sorry about the picture I took it with my mobile, the watch is really a V1 WITH NO SUNKEN DW and shiny subdials and the fighters caseback.

hakr: Thanks I got the dial from swiss ebay and it is very weird because this watch looks like a low beat one but when Domenico opened the watch it had the metal plate mod for GMT, but he tried a ETA7750 movement and it fited ok, the date could be sunke but we were planning doing a DW overlay the original dial we don´t know yet....we´ll see... But the most interesting thing hapened to me I just bought a GMT IIc for Modification from sneed and I´m also doing this Navi project and the thing is I´m in Beijin now and I just found a unused brand new navitimer V1 lowbeat watch and a new Rolex GMT-IIc with a aligned rehaunt!!!!!!!!! 2 weird birds in one shot hehehe!!!!!!!!Needless to say I´m very happy :-) If our navi project goes well I will sell the V1 navitimer fighters here, stay tuned.

Sneed are you sure I don´t have to shave the Dial?

So finally the watch is over Domi´s work shop he is going to put a GEN 7750 with Gen Navitimer handset, already has a Gen bracelet, and I got a gen dw, Domi says he will overlay the datewheel and modify the dial feet as well, he promessed to take pictures, the glass went yesterday to Uwe for double AR, I will put some pics.

JoeyB, this is the same I´m buying i contacted Josh and he has them on stock, it will be my christmas gift hehehe.

Freddy did you painted you Bezel it looks great, I got one from sneed and he painted the bezel with platinium paint, i was holding the original yesterday and they look pretty similar, the xtal is a must I agree. Great watches by the way!!

Don´t think I have not made my homework, ByThor´s reviews are good and i also was reading Elprimozen review on the GMT II but a lot of the pictures are missing this reviews are 4 years old and i was also wondering if Josh still has this amazing GMT II retro model with the lugholes.

This looks really promessing, good luck mate! Beautiful so far! -
I´m more a Breitling and Omega guy but lately i have fallen for ROLEX :-) but i´m a real noob with them ;-(

So I´m getting a GMT IIc ultimare version Swiss ETA 2836, I was wondering what are the most recomended modifications for this watch? Please send pics. I´m also thinking on getting a coke bezel GMT II retro from Josh, some say, and I almost believe it too, that this is the best version today any opinions on this? I have a Gen GMT II glass with AR cyclops, and new Gen Bezel insert this one would go to Domi for superluminova any other modification I need to know about this model? Best Regards

I think if you lift the plate and gears and if you need so, elongate the pins for the dial or build some support points for it and then make a date overlay then you will solve this issue, I will prefer to get a low beat case, believe me I will buy it on the spot even for 3 times his price!( I have eta7750 movement, dial, handse, DWt all GEN), but there are none available, polexpete had a nice solution too drilling the hole in the case but I´m not such a good driller myself ;-) I´ll try this mod with Domi and I will let you know how it goes.
-
At least the rep makers should offer a more expensive version with the A7753 and correct date wheel, I´m sure it would sell like hot bread!
-
Just put the watch on on a swivel box the it would be running all the time so major date changes won´t be necesary, I would not mind to turn the crown to set the date as far as i don´t get the ugly sunken date.
