By-Tor Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Is the black and white bezel boring for the GMT? Decided to try it and it ain't that bad... especially for a guy like me, who doesn't own a Submariner. Click for 1024x size: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrandazzo Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I love it! But I have a CN Gmt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrandazzo Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 I think that all black is very low profile and classy. I'll keep it like this for a while...until I'll find a noob gmt case.. @ By-Tor Your insert is a way better than mine from Cousinsuk....is yours gen?

By-Tor Posted July 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 @ By-Tor Your insert is a way better than mine from Cousinsuk....is yours gen? No, but I can't tell it from a gen. There was a Ebay seller LUXURYDEALS who was selling brilliant, brilliant GMT inserts for $10. But now he has disappeared. Fortunately I managed to buy all three inserts. They're very glossy and high quality... they even have the Sans Serif font. Here's the Pepsi insert installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmg Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Personally I'm a pepsi guy with GMT's but why does it have to be either, or I always say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOVE the strap as well! where'd you get that strap if you dont mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrandazzo Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 It's a Hirsch Carbon Fiber Strap. You can find it almost on every online store. Example Mine had white stitching, but I turned them red Like this one for example BE AWARE that those are for Panerai. Too big. I didn't found 20 mm with red stitching.... So I did it by myself and turned the white into red. It's quite easy! P.S. It's waterproof 100 m! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 If I were getting a black GMT, it'd have to be Ceramic, which is weird as a couple of years ago, I'd have said the Pepsi is wrong and black is the way to go. Today, I'd go Pepsi for non-ceramic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today, I'd go Pepsi for non-ceramic. Well... Pepsi is the only correct choice for the GMT, imho. It's just fun to swap the bezels every now and then, it changes the watch quite dramatically. I can safely say that all-black is my least favorite combo. No matter what watch it is, I always like crispy colors. For modern GMT the red/black ain't too shabby, either... sometimes I wear this one for weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4GTR Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 considering I dont like the pepsi bezel the black looks nice. Coke is nice too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) two tone combo bezel is definietly a unique defining gmt characteristic, also distinguishes between night and day outside at a quick glance Edited July 17, 2008 by highoeyazmuhudee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevethebest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I remember all the long posts where you asked to VOTE for the preferred combo ... and you were surprised when majority of the members voted for the black! It is classy, sporty and even if black I would say that the insert is totally different from that of the sub and so the overall feeling of the watch! I know that you prefer the red/ blue and black/ red, but being such a GMT lover no doubt that you would have looked at the black with a loving eye One question: you say you swap the insert, but you mean you swap the bezel, is it true? Otherwise I would mind that the insert can be damaged ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
