patrickhab123 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 If a GMTIIc rep has the incorrect hand stack (24 hour hand on bottom) is there someone around here who you can send it to to fix that? Also, are there any other mods you would make to a GMTIIc rep? Thanks for the help!
freddy333 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 No. The handstack order is dictated by the movement's construction. The only way to get a correct handstack is to install a movement with a correct handstack. And the hour hand is on the bottom of a GMTIIC
patrickhab123 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Posted November 22, 2011 Thank you for the quick response! That is what I thought, just wanted to verify. Yes, I believe the 24-hour hand is on the bottom of the rep I recently purchased from a fellow forum-member here. I have not received it yet but from the pictures that is how it looks (if interested it is the "GMT LN" with green datewheel overlay on the sales forum that I purchased). In that case, is there anyone who will swap out movements for you on here etc? I guess a modder/watchsmith. Thanks again!

You'd need a CHS movement, hands, and probably dial. The only way to get them is to buy the complete GMT IIc CHS from Angus or someone else. I've never seen pics with the dial off so I don't know for sure if a DWO will work with it or not. You're looking at ~$300 in parts and labor probably, for a less-reliable movement. You can of course sell your old watch and recoup some of that.
