The green is here...
...no its not about another 116610LV Hulk this about the GMT llc, no its not about the 116718 gold one.
This is about a mod that I seen on some forum, including one here on this forum. Green is my new thing ever since I had the Sub Hulk for 6 months, I loved the watch but had to sell it since gold seem to whispering my name. So I bought a 116713 but I dont like black dial and missed some green. It was kinda impossible at first, but you know the saying, if there is a will... and some money there is a way. Finally I was able to get a green dial from the GMT ll 116718 so I could have this one done: The GMT hand also changed to gold from green. On the way home from the shop. Look at the gold lettering, disliked the white lettering before on a TT Watch, the gold lettering seem to fit better here. And the green dial, not as awesome as the sunburst dial of the Hulk, this is more flat green, but the only option I had to get a authentic one for my GMT llc 116713 which I consider is the perfect watch I had so far, and I been flipping alot the last few years.

Looks fantastic. When the GMT IIc TT came out, I thought it would look fantastic with a green dial. Too bad it was only available in the YG version only.

The green dial was also available in the tt GMT-C as I have seen them at an AD, rare and cost a little more than a GMT-C with black dial.
