cib0rgman Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Nice build Frank! I'm thinking a 1675 can't be too far behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star69 Posted October 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
