gtanak Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 i gave up on rollies aft selling my final pc a WM9 V2 16610, but i can't get the GMT IIc outta my mind...Tried searching but no prices popped up. Can anyone advise fair value for a gen dial, gen bezel (not insert) and gen crown/tube? Also anyone knows how a CHS mvmt can still be sourced? Any donor watches from dealers?Saw on ebay dials going for $300 and bezels $5-700! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I've a CHS, with gen dial and bezel insert. Gen bezel too. But not installed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtanak Posted May 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Any idea why not installed? Problems? I'll be really int in those parts if u selling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 the guy to talk to about this is sneed12. He is the king of the GMT IIc builds. He knows which case will take a genuine bezel assembly ( all of them won't!!) AFA gen parts, they are pretty scarce and expensive,but if you can find the right case,CHS movement, a gen bezel assembly w/ insert, dial and crystal, you will have one heck of a GMT.

ghost Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Yeah this was put together before the new sneed case came about. Regardless, it's stellar as once the gen insert and dial go on, you'd hardly notice the bezel. I have 2 crazy gmt 2Cs equipped with gen dials and inserts. One is with the CHS, and the other was procured from concepta and came with a corum 2893 movement. And guess what, i've another gen bezel and insert, and a few 2893s hanging around waiting for something to be done! I must be nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent my GMT IIC up to ziggy a couple of years ago, he told me that fitting that movement created too many compromises, and he wouldn't so it. I know couple of guys on the forum did the 2893 swap, but they all said "never again" In actuality, the 2893 really only gives you a more reliable movement,it's still ICHS. I have a gen bezel/insert and gen crustal in mine, it needs a better dial and the CHS movement, maybe some day I'll get it completed,if the right parts come along.

ghost Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Not sure. I believe concepta had it sent to Domi? Oh man i've 3 2893s! I hope it can be done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtanak Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Is the sneed case from a BP gmt IIc? Also, what about gen crown, stem and tube? Tried fitting that yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Case requires significant drilling to fit a gen crown/tube. See my other thread about my blue Sub-C built on a BP case. The crown/stem/tube construction is the same on the BP sub-C case and the BP GMT IIc case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
