Playing around with my SMP GMT, added a gen bezel with silver insert on a Bond NATO.

I kinda like the look.

Looks great.

It would be cool to put a black w/ white numbered date wheel. :thinking:

It's got a 2836 in it so that shouldn't be hard to find one to fit. I really dig the Silver insert against the gray dial. Makes it POP. Although it needs luming including the gen insert.
Rainy day around here today so I get to play around inside.

This is a cool combo. Blue dial and black date wheel.

I love Blue Omegas. I like the black in the blue as well. IN the SMP GMT a black date wheel with white numbers would match the dial markers and 24 hour indicators. Something to think about. If I go that far, I'll have to put on Gen Skeleton hands which I have, but no Gen GMT hand.

You have the black date wheels already. I'm pretty sure I gave you two, one which was a gen ETA.

Oh yeah I have the date wheels and that gen is in another project box, I could make it work, but if I tear it down that far I'm gonna want to do a lume on the dial, Anyone not tied up for the next year doing lume?
Need a few more rainy days. I was just playing around today. Turns out only a Gen Bezel fit and worked on the GMT, all the rep Bezels didn't. Odd. Probably should have shined up the watch before pictures, LOL

Are the black datewheels for an ETA 2824 or 2836 movement?

Ted - nice looking project. For more of a "pop", paint the insert numbers.

I have date wheels for both I think.
What color would you go if I decided to paint it, White? Black?
