Retro GMT Gen Crown/Tube and Gen Insert?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I recently purchased a retro GMT, and I'm pretty happy with it. The only real problems are the loose-clicking bezel, which sounds simple from what I've read, and the crown seems dangerously loose and off-center when I unscrew it.

I'd like to replace the bezel insert and the crown/tube, but after searching I can't find anything that says definitively if these gen parts will fit with the Retro version. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

You'll have to shave a little bit the insert and to drill/tap the case to fit the new tube. They will work

The bezel is an easy fix, I also did it, then I broke the movement but that's another story.. :(

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.
