seldom seen white GMT

[Glitch]

this nasty hobby.... some watches you just keep in the case to admire. such a waste of money

... like this white GMT. TW case from EL way, way back.

when ETA was really swiss and and you can feel the quality of the movement when turning the crown

correct hand length. pins on bracelet. lume. serial number on the case

buy a used GMT movement and you can pass this off as a ....

Is it a keeper?

Well... if you don't want to keep that ugly watch I can put you out of your misery and buy it.

Seriously, it looks fantastic. They don't make GMT's like this anymore.

PS: Fixed your second photo. You forgot to add another img tag.

thanks for the fix. almost sold this a while back, but your reviews always pull me back right.

Nice Pic

Nice Watch.

I'd keep it for you.

I love this watch. Whenever I saw the gen at the AD it took my breath away.

I would have purchased this rep, but I seem to recall that the gen dial markers are much lighter. Still, it's a beautiful rep.

Great looking watch. The white dial Seamasters are always beautiful.

Question:

Is the lume raised or flat? I'm curious.

Lume is a bit raised.

I've seen gens where the markers are truly white when new. I've also seen them age and take a darker shade

[jb]

Thanks for the answer.

I asked because I have had two gens in my possession over the past week and a half. I took delivery on my Father-in-laws Ti Seamaster, and I picked up my electric blue Seamaster today.

The lume on the gens has a very nice shape, which is slightly humped, and a very light greenish tint.

Sweet watch huh? I picked up the gen when I couldn't source the closed factory version. Not a single regret.

I remember Marrick did a White GMT project using rep and gen parts. Can't find the link from his original post - but if he sees it, hope he posts some pics. It's a great looking watch and successful project.

ahhhh the white GMT. Great watch!

thanks TripleHD, I almost forgot it, thanks for the reminder.

Unfortunately, I can't remember where I store the other pics. But yes, the Genuine has white lume - so I will need to re-do mine, they're too green and the hands are prodominetly black.

No problem MVB - actually, remembered that I linked your GMT project with my GMT thread

Yeah, I have it sized and have been wearing it most of today. It is pretty sweet, but I think my TT1 will get slightly more wrist time. This one is just a bit dressier due to the polished bezel.

Also, it pretty heavy for it's size, which I love.
