rolojack Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 The GMT is now done... This watch... God !!!! It took ages to achieve but now it's finally allright. The hardest part was to get the handstack right. The height of every element is of paramount importance. If the lume is too high the GMT hand does not pass... And most dials you'll find will have the lume made too high, like on a sub. But this isn't a Sub! The dial was custom made in Vietnam on a gen spec plate with ETA feet. Roulette wheel, gen-all-you-can, meaning: crown+insert+crystal. Phong bezel assy. A big BRAVO to Joe for the awesome engravings ! Movement modified for the date and GMT to behave as they should on a gen movement: non quick set and non adjustable. Enjoy the pics, Rolojack. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Beautiful job!!! I agree about the frustration factor, these are really, really difficult to put together to achieve a quality level close to gen.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retina Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 congrats to dpap for a beautiful piece, a unique panam build i must add, the aluminium insert gives it a very different profile from the more commonly seen bakelite 6542 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
