Can I put a fluted bezel/jub bracelet on this watch?

[McDuck888]

116234 old school diamond dial without traintracks (doesn't fit clean 36mm)
126234 (does fit clean 36mm). But is BLOODY EXPENSIVE and rare because it's so modern and not many spare dials are on the web for sale yet. I also can't think of a 126234 diamond dial without minute ticks or traintracks etc around the outside unless its MOP.

Sorry for me accidentally being so confusing

Not confusing at all I totally understand! Even finding the 116234 would be hard too, as its an exact dial I want and what are the chances sort of thing.

I did see one on eBay but it says 16234, 16014, 16200, so no luck there. I might have to settle for the fantasy GMF 36mm. Tbf the grey isn't that dark either it almost looks like a silver to me.

Also I would be changing the GMF bezel to the Xing bezel, which would look a lot better and closer to a CF. Then its just hoping the GMF jubilee bracelet is good and the movement (VR3235) is good!

I've just had a further look at https://geektime.watch/product/date...al-diamond-markers-on-oyster-bracelet-vr3235/ on my big laptop. It has no crown symbol between the 'swiss' and 'made' at the base of the dial. Which suggests to me it's emulating an older 116234 - But has a nice modern movement in it too. Which is pretty darn awesome. Nice find. So it's not a 'fantasy' piece at all, its being 116234. It looks silver too on my laptop. I like it!!

Nice observations and thats good news!!!! I like it too but now I got a big paranoid its a little dark but im sure its not. Anyway then I was scoping Andrews page again and found this one. Its pretty much the same but "Light Gray" and even cheaper which is great!!!! The movement is SA3135 tho. Wonder if thats any good? Anyway it looks so close to silver that I asked Andrew to check the stock of it!!!

I think it's the same watch, just with SA3135 (terribly unreliable movement) . I'd encourage you massively to go for the VR my dude

Also, you're making me want to buy one now hahah.

I see, maybe they just labeled the color differently. I think you're right! Plus the one on geek time looks light grey as well. So the price difference is movement based. For $60 I suppose its best to get the more reliable one.

Hahaha, I have been researching this dial for hours on end for a good few days now. It all started with a BPF one in 31, then realised I need a 36. Hunting down the BPF in 36 to being told its out of stock. Thinking I needed a CF with gen dial. Then finding this GMF one!!! Now its just hoping that the factory will put a jubilee bracelet on it. If they cant do the bezel Ill just get the Xing one! IN my opinion the GMF bezels are a big spiky tell!!

Your research is awesome man! It'd take me two years to figure out what you have in days LOL
