What watch will take a gen GMT II bezel Assembly? I'm pretty sure one does but can't remember which. Also I'm assuming you'd use the rep followers/springs/clicker? Thanks guys!

I know my Noob GMTII-C 116710LN does!
In your question, are you looking at the newer ceramic models or the older models as well?

The bezel assembly is from a 2007. Would just the insert work without th bezel on a rep?

You may want to pm [MENTION=61105]zocker4711[/MENTION] with that question because I don't know. The one he built for me had the gen insert and gen bezel assembly together, so we did not go your route.

I have the opportunity to get the gen bezel and insert together. Just want to make sure everything would work before I jump off the cliff!

Just wondering... Can you install just the gen insert without the gen bezel on Noob?

Have not tried, but you are better off installing the full insert/bezel assembly. Because in the event the gen insert does not fit the noob bezel, it is almost impossible to grind it down to fit like you can with the aluminium ones! You are more likely to shatter the ceramic than mod it to fit.

You can do... But you would be the first they find the Ceramic only ;) on the SubC that is no prob... But i never saw an GMT Insert Standalone...
I mean i saw sure... But it was Broke in 1000 Parts :D

As i know there is no way to get out or in the Ceramic on the GMT at the SubC it work because there is an Spacer unter the Main Bezel...

The GMT doesn´t have these...

So an SubC Ceramic into an Noob Bezel i have done a few Times...

Here's where I am right now. This just came in the mail. It's a mint gen GMT bezel assembly. I got it at a good price so far so good. Gen crystals with the AR cyclops, they are getting stupid pricey if you can even find one! That's the next piece in the puzzle. I found a mint gen dial too, but $900! Geeezzzz.....
