I could be wrong but it looks more like marks from trying to pry the bezel off.

GMT Ceramic?

yep , id thought that as they are a bit tangential , but they sort of look spidery too , still its covered over so no odds

Is it a 14060 sub, with the crown guards taken off just a wild guess..

Btw no corrosion or what so ever, just some marks from the bezel. The watch case's other side is still sealed so brand new.

Cheers

Nice, are you going to put an original 14060 dial or do you have something else in mind?

Looked like that watch put up quite a fight when you were trying to remove the bezel... Yowza!

Looking forward to the end results...

Looks like a non-date brother of my recent modification:

are you adding a Maxidial?
