Very nice! Those thin cases are spectacular.

Congrats to OP and Ronin on a great build.

Loving Libbys' 1675 as well

Got the watch today. It is amazing in person. Ronin can go more into the gmt movement but I think he is out of town at the moment on business.

Excellentissime !

translation : Absolutly great work !

Now let me let everyone in on the secret to making in my opinion an excellent GMT without breaking the bank, or screwing around with crap ETA-2846's and converting to GMT, or 2836-Converted-GMTs.

What is this mystery movement you might ask?

From what I can tell it is a LATE MODEL - 2009 -> Dixmont Guangzhou (DG) 3804. (Note: The Ofrei 3804 is NOT THE SAME, or other old stock at the usual watch supply shops.)

OFrei have the same new version now, the old stock is finished. I have the same movements in 2 of my 1675.
