Omega GMT

Recommended Posts

I have just completed another mod to my Ultimate GMT.

Can anyone guess what it is?

HINT # 1 - A gen part was used.

HINT # 2 - This piece was already modded with gen parts.

HINT # 3 - It plagued GMT owners who wished to fully mod their rep GMTs with gen parts.

Here's some pics:

Let me know what you guys think. Im running out to a b-b-q and will check back with everyone later tonight.

Gen movement? Great piece. I'd love to own the gen someday.

Nope. Still used the rep movement.

The gen GMT hand will not fit this movement. Therefore, since I didn't like the rep hand, I performed a mod to get the gen GMT hand to fit.

The watch was previously modded with the following:

- Gen Insert

- Gen Dial

- Gen hands - Hour, Minute and Seconds

- Gen Rubber Strap

The gen GMT hand cannot fit this movement (modified ETA 2836). The hole size is too small. Therefore, i had two choices:

- Somehow, make the hand hole size the same size as the rep GMT hand hole size.

or

- Somehow, come up with another creative way.

I noticed that the gen GMT hand was a tad bit wider and of course longer than the rep hand. So, I put 2 and 2 together and came up with the following solution - glue the gen GMT hand on top of the rep GMT hand. A little skeptic at first, but after executing the plan - BOOM - issue solved.

Now I have a truly Franken "Ultimate" Omega GMT.
