Thanks Ralphy! How's your GMT build coming along? - looking forward to seeing it !!


Well, I sourced a cartel case with drilled lugs that is supposed to accept a gen dial. I bit the bullet and ordered a bunch of watch maker tools on Amazon, so this week and weekend I will be practicing on a couple cheap models to hone my skills lol and then try to put this baby together.

I will update my thread once I figure out if it will work or not, thanks man!

Sounds good! - don't hesitate to ask if you need any pointers - the road to my frankens is littered with watches I destroyed... :laugh:

Damage to the cyclops a little bit but it gives it that old, used feel especially since it is a 1970s build.
