I'm in the middle of this exact build myself on the same watch from WBK. I've got a generic Swiss GMT movement en route I'm hoping to fit, as well as smaller all-red GMT hand. We should all work on the great minds theory once I am finished with my blueberry GMT and can dedicate time to solving world problems :D

What an amazing transformation you've done here. Great work, really.

Can I ask where you picked up that jubilee bracelet if it wasn't an m2m deal? (Feel free to PM me) Were there any fitment issues?

Where are you sourcing the all red gmt hand from? I looked at Rafflestime but Ken didn't have that one the last time I checked.

No idea yet man, lol. I've gotta either find one member to member or find a dealer with one which I'm sure will be a little harder. Im not in a rush so its not a big deal.

No, that's the tiny GMT hand. I'm referring to the hand version that is standard size and all red with no silver head. It is completely red all around. This hand looks amazing with blueberries.

Opps my bad! By the way, does anyone know how to install a plexi crystal? Am I suppose to use some UV glue or something, or can i just press it in?

It sounds like it pressed in - go back to the 4th page and I think the modder posts the crystal there w/ more details.

Mine just pressed in. I glued it to make it waterproof! It's very easy to swap out! No pressing involved!

Hey Johnny, mind sharing the type of glue you're using for waterproofing?

Here is the correct link to my bracelet. The one that was posted earlier is a cheaper version, not sure on the quality of that one compared to mine but mine was almost double the price. I didnt really look to good at the other link. Mine was under the generic rolex parts section, not the bracelet section. Sorry all!

Looks like the exact same pictures. I wonder if they're charging more for that one because it's advertised as a "Rolex" replacement in the title and the other one isn't. Hmmmmm
