Guest avitt Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 724 is the GMT movement. I don't know for sure, but I'm afraid that it may be too thick to fit the VJ72 case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watcher Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 I"m trying to get into all this mod stuff you are talking about but I'm getting lost! Anyway if anyone wants to bid for this watch you will be up against me! Ebay no. 270042877520 One question guys, does the mystery movement dial fit the V72 movement. I guess the mountings are the same but a confirmation from one of you experts would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very tempted but as i just bought two movements a short while ago i will have to pass on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 The mystery movement dial has the correct subdial spacing, but the dial feet are in the wrong position. You can still use it, by removing the feet, and using "dial dots" or double sided tape to mount it on the VJ72. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
