By-Tor Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 Okay, NOW the weekend is really here. Let's see 'em! I'm enjoying my "rep grail", the correct hand stack GMT, with upgraded smaller crown... that really "finishes" this watch nicely. Sorry to brag guys, but after all the mods performed this is SOOOO nice and SOOOO damn accurate, hard to take off. Once again thanks to Eurotimez for finding this gem for me!!! Let's see what you got!
dluddy Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 @BT - that is a winner. I'm dipping into the modded Pannie box for Friday: taking off the un-modded 089 GMT: and going with the 172 Tantalium for the day:

By-Tor -- Thanks to your always brilliant pictures, I think I may actually be warming to the GMT-Master, which I have never liked before. I wonder if the correct hand stack movement is available for the original GMT-Master (with non-metalized index markers & matte dial) in a case that accepts gen parts (crystal, crown/tube)? Anyone? Oh, & I am wearing this while working on this
By-Tor Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Posted May 9, 2008 Thanks Freddy! The old GMT (the one in your picture) uses "wrong hand stack" (hour hand above the 24h hand), and it doesn't even have independently adjustable GMT/hour hands. The rotating bezel is used to track different timezones. Technically that would be very easy to replicate, but for some strange reason there are no good reps of the vintage Master. The 16710 (that I have) has different hand stack and independently adjustable hour hand. Mine even operates exactly like the genuine, except the date change is tied to the 24h hand, which is inaccurate. The 16710 and 1675 are completely different watches technically. 16710 is the only GMT rep that can be modified very close to the original (if you find the movement somewhere). I think it's very nice with the wrong hand stack too... but for some people that's a "major issue". I'd love to see a good rep of the vintage too... but I doubt we'll ever see one.
Stephane Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 @ BT: congrats on finding the crown I think I found one too now. That is a gen. I was about PMing you for my actual one, but you seem to have it ...if not feel free. Cheers Stephane
