who sell that case, did you modified the case in any way? I am curious on how you end up with a 16750. looks really great and maybe this the way to go. I always wanted a GMT

thanks

its the 1655 from Josh - 16750 = cheaper dial ;)

Great transformation F!!! Looks great! Do you think you will ever add a 2893-2 for a more stable movement?

not yet - first i need new hands, gen insert and maybe crown .... :)

thanks !

the specs :

case and bracelet : Josh

movement : ETA GMT - ebay

dial : cheapo from ebay - gen 16750 dial

hands : member - sadly GMT-hand does not fit right ... must find a new one

plexi : cousins uk

bezel : ewatchparts ebay ... only the retaining ring fits proper - bezel needs shaving to fit - washer doesnt fit at all -

if the seller did not ship me the wrong parts this one is not recommended ;)

datewheel : member

total time : 4h - the freaking GMT-hand and bezel are time- and nervekillers grrrrr

cheers,

Frank
