End of June last year, I have placed a want to buy GMT II Franken, with no luck. apparently, those frankens are very difficult to come by, well 6 months later, and before Christmas, I have found one for sale in M2M. to my surprise, that Franken was brand new, and it has more than I ever thought I would get for a none used watch. I jumped on it immediately..


I have received my early Christmas gifts to myself, and this lovely Franken was part of the huge shipment I got..

the lugs/bracelet sels need to be shaved to a sharper point, the rounded look screams rep from far away and truly detracts from this otherwise awesome build. No noobs have this feature correct, regardless of whether a bracelet sits perfectly tight against the case lug - the body sits tight in this case, but not the edge.

Great photos and a good news story. Personally I prefer the black NATO strap as I ties in with the watch face. Awesome watch though.

Nothing like a gen bezel insert. Looks perfect.

Yeah.. these perlon straps are so much fun. And very comfortable to wear.. :)

Beautiful build, love the Perlon straps, I think the green is my favorite out of all the combos you've posted thus far. I've seen a picture floating around on insta of a Sub-C with a white perlon strap and it's making me want to buy a subC or gmt2 just for that combination lol. How many strap colors did you get?
