That did it. Thanks andreww!

The divers extension keeps popping loose before I can get the watch on. Is there some sort of "rig" for it? I've searched and couldn't find anything.

Actually the pearl on mines fell out. So I need to think of something or just wear it as a beater and not care.

Since we have learned that the pearl on the rep PO's is part of the bezel and not the insert, would it be possible to remove the insert, then cut or grind down the pearl "housing", then install an aftermarket insert that has the pearl on it like a gen?

You can also take a look at jomashop.com Their watches are authentic. I've bought some nice pieces from them over the years.

Insane!!!! Impressive too!

Maybe I'll put them out to pasture when my wife puts me out to pasture.

Maybe I should just read the guide about this watch from By-Tor.....

Is there an MBK version of the GMT II with red/black insert? A good friend of mines has a birthday coming up and he loves this watch. There wouldn't be any mods done to it so I'm looking for the best possible out of the box watch. He knows I'm into reps so I'm not trying to pass it off as a gen. Thanks all.

Actually that might be mines.

I'm still waiting to hear for SURE if anyone has done a gen bezel/insert on the UPO. There are threads flying around all the forums but no one yet to my knowledge has said they have done it.

My prayers go out to you, your friends and his family.

Yeah I got with them. Thanks for the info. Since the one I have does not have AR and I stripped all the screws, I wear it as my daily beater and I got the newer one with the AR. If the "geneve" on the dial is ever corrected I'll try to swap the dial with my "good" one.

One of my favorite F1 drivers. He died doing the thing he loved most.

Don't take any chances, material possessions can be replaced.

This is the second "mobile" phone I ever owned. It still powers up. My first was a "bag" phone.

So the rep should set us back what? $189,000??? I'm waiting for jfree to chime in on this one.

Amazing considering he rides a single-speed. You could NEVER get the pros to ride something like that.

The only time I ever set foot in any AD is when my wife thinks she needs another diamond ring. If I happen to be wearing a rep I leave it locked in the glove compartment. This hobby doesn't need anymore spotlight on it. Just my .02

It will be a VERY sad day the day you walk away. Family however does come first, all the time and every time.

That my friend is the million dollar question. Technically it shouldn't have the seconds hand, BUT a gen jumbo in the 70's could be orderd with the seconds hand. I guess that PP felt for that kind of money you could get a custom watch. I plan to have mines removed at some point to make it closer to the 3700. Plus I feel it gives it a "cleaner" look.

You mean like I did? I got the strap off but both spring bars went "boing" and flew off to who knows where. What size spring bars do I need for a MBK Sub? Get a springbar tool UB7.

Weclome back!

Thanks to all for the recommendations. What size will I need? 20mm? 22mm?
