Modifying Explorer 2
If you modify an Explorer II with a GMT bezel, will the bezel be fully functional? Also, how easy is it to find a GMT bezel? Just curious.
Thanks. |

I'm no expert but I'd say the only way to get what you're after would be to put an Expy dial and hands into a GMT case.

I think that there are a couple of more machining steps the case goes through to be able to properly fit a GMT Bezel and it's spring..
I believe that the photo you show is a GMT with an Exp II dial installed..
