slied013 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I have a nice GMT-LN with a gen green DWO and it looks great. I think this watch deserves a 2893-2 movement. Only question is where to source a green GMT hand which fits the movement and a corresponding dial. Asked several of my regular suppliers, but noone seems to be able to source them. Any advise of a fellow member is very welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyB Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 The genuine Rolex GMT 4th hand is the same size as the ETA 2893-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Be careful of hand height problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cib0rgman Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Yes. You will have to buy taller part from cousins to raise the hand and clear the dial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 And, you'll have to paint it green yourself. But that's the easy part. You're in for a lot of heartache trying this unless you replace the canon pin, hour, minute wheel, and the GMT gear. Or find a custom set of hands with long tubes.

japanic Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I recall seeing a set on rouhelena's ebay store, but it was almost certainly for a 2836-2. Or you can just ask him/her, they are a member here; or even email them through their site. I've had a few special orders from them and their service and communication is excellent.
