My poor man’s version of a “blueberry” GMT (with an authentic insert).

Beelzy · 30 October 2018, 05:29 AM

Hey, whatever floats your boat. I kinda like it.

R!$ · 30 October 2018, 05:44 AM

I used to always switch between pepsi, green, black, and black inserts

Dj_masse · 30 October 2018, 06:36 AM

I like it!!

I’m digging it!

lenfried29 · 30 October 2018, 06:38 AM

Nop. don't like it. Confusing looking watch

T.Mas · 30 October 2018, 06:42 AM

According to the GMT hand, it is 35:00. I like it.

HogwldFLTR · 30 October 2018, 06:46 AM

Don't like the color or the use of a Sub dial on a GMT. Blasphemous, no, as it's not my watch.

Rebel · 30 October 2018, 06:53 AM

I'd want a 24 hour bezel.

Burlington · 30 October 2018, 06:54 AM

Why not have some fun !

Blasphemous, no. But you're flirting with the line.

travisb · 30 October 2018, 07:57 AM

If you like it, go with it.
I'd stick with one of three perfect GMT options.

superstarmar · 30 October 2018, 08:04 AM

IT'S STRANGE... Sub bezel insert on a GMT...
Try putting a GMT bezel insert on a Sub... How's that ?

Ignace Worang · 30 October 2018, 08:33 AM

I played around with inserts back and forth, it's your own, do whatever makes you happy...

Newbie3 · 30 October 2018, 08:36 AM

Insert had to cost a pretty penny.

droptopman · 30 October 2018, 08:44 AM

Assume that is a Sub LB insert that is really faded? I had an old 16613 LB that faded like that. All the numbers turned from gold to silver over the years.

~Haze~ · 30 October 2018, 08:55 AM

Lol... I posted this in another thread. I saw this on eBay and I’m not sure how I feel about it. It doesn’t look bad. It just looks... strange.

Chadridv · 30 October 2018, 08:58 AM

Yeah, I don’t know about blasphemy, but I don’t care for it.

A little article about the blueberry GMT

antoflo · 30 October 2018, 11:46 AM

if that's how you like your watch that's cool !

Vanmarsenille · 30 October 2018, 01:28 PM

Not cricket, old chap.

JoeyT · 30 October 2018, 01:31 PM

If insert is genuine then I have no issue with it. Looks pretty cool

joespeed29 · 30 October 2018, 02:55 PM

yes that exactly...I couldn't put my finger on it but that comment made me feel uncomfortable.

However, that is a great looking mod for that watch...

WWC · 30 October 2018, 03:04 PM

Looks interesting. I guess cause it’s not what you would usually see out in the wild.

I’d be more inclined to switch between the black bezel, Pepsi and Coke

samson66 · 30 October 2018, 08:56 PM

I like it! Yes I would prefer a 24 marker bezel, but color-wise I really like it

The Libertine · 30 October 2018, 09:06 PM

Not a fan of blue bezels.

I hope so otherwise that is a blasphemous fake and a franken watch, never mind the mismatch.
