Does this tropic raises too much ?

[Gileto]

what do you think ? Should I remove some material to make it lower ? Or does it raise properly ?

(bezel insert is not already glued...)

Yes, too tall for a GMT. The xtal should rise a bit beyond the point where the bevel begins. I would encourage you to search out some gens to use as models before you begin modding.

I love tall ones like this but I agree, it's too tall in this case.

Gonna remove some material...

Be careful how much material you remove or you will end up with the second hand hitting the crystal.
