I think I’m gonna go with the GMF..... can’t decide whether to go with ICHS coz of a more robust movement or CHS. Please share your thoughts and why. Would really appreciate some feedback

Ichs for sure. The Chs can break within a week and can’t be fixed. There are two broken chs for sale at the moment. They make for expensive paper weights. Call me crazy, but I even prefer having the gmt hand on the bottom so the hour hand is easier to see

So the GMT hand does work properly on the ICHS right? Also how do you set the GMT hand on the ICHS?

The gmt hand on the ichs works as a 24 hour hand, so yes it works. But it’s different from the Rolex 3186. Look up on YouTube how the two work

Yup. Mine broke. I'll never touch a CHS ever again!

I have 2 chs gmt, one is 2 years and the other one is a noob v9.
I have no problems with them. The secret is you can‘t fiddle around with them, just follow the rules. I would not buy a nchs.

I followed all the dos and don'ts. But they still broke. I've had CHS in the past before and they were fine.

How do you normally set the date ?

I think this project is dead. How hard it can be only thing they need to do is copy 6 parts for GMT function and engrave SH3135 correctly so it can say 318x.

I set the date by moving the min hand forward, not the hour hand.
But I have all my watches on a winder, so changing the date is only from 30 to 1 which is an easy job with the min hand.
