Hey guys I bought this the other day and tried to put it on a perfect clones GMT master but it doesn't use the same assembly. I don't want to glue it on, it kind of goes on but uses a diff system I think. Can anyone tell me which model I should buy and from which dealer, I can't search because I don't know what bezel this is. Pls let me know if you can, thanks

What movement are you guys using for CHS for a GMT Master or Explorer II? My Gen has, top to bottom: SEC > MIN > GMT > HOUR my rep has: SEC > MIN > HOUR > GMT Really bothers me the GMT is bent slightly up so it can clear the Hour Markers. What movement are you guys using to replace it? If so, where did you get the hands? Or is the alternative to find a CHS Hand set and keep same movement.

I took inventory today of my watch collection. During the process, I shot quite a few pics. Here are a couple of my dear sweet darlings (old veteran members will recall these two I am sure). Some details... Circa '65-'66 1675 with original small GMT hand (from the factory). Yes, it came this way from the factory. This prompted an interesting debate 15 or so years ago when folks started coming out of the woodwork with stories of Rolex finding caches of old parts in the mid-60s (and subsequently using them up despite being slightly outdated. Very 1960s Breitling-esque, I might add). Still have the original folded Jubilee bracelet as well. Mov't has been keeping chronometer time specs since it was born. Crazy accurate. Circa '67-'68 5513 with original Twinlock crown system intact and original T-19 Superdome. I have a NOS Twinlock tube, gasket & crown waiting around for servicing in a few years. I also have a Triplock system for it. I might just install the Triplock to avoid humidity issues in the future. 1520 mov't is also superbly accurate. I've got the original faded bezel insert stashed away that I, from time to time, slap on the watch. I also wear it on its original Oyster bracelet, too. I almost sold this watch a few months ago. Somehow I managed to regain my senses right before closing the deal. What the heck was I thinking!! What is fascinating about these movements is that they autowind to max. capacity extremely rapidly--more than any other auto-mech watch I've owned to date. I know that there are some vintage lovers around these parts!
