Me too!

It would look great as an accent to the black dial.

That looks great!

You're not thinking of following Jason's lead in PVCing, are you Rob?

No reason why it wouldn't fit........ it's the same base movement..

The GMT is the odd one because it has a much larger diameter center staff arragement to accomodate the extra hand.....

Had the Red YachtMaster second hand put on my 2002 Sub 14060M at last service - I think it looks great and so do other Sub admirers

Looks good on the submariners too!!

very nice!

Does anyone know if the YM hands from a 3135 cal or whatever it is, will fit on the 1570 movement of something like a Double red 1665? Or on a red Submariner. Thats would be sweet... incorrect but sweet.

It does look kind of appealing, don't it

I reckon the red second hand would fit. But on such classics, It would bring the wince factor on

Darn...now I'm pondering as to what a red second hand on my Exp.2 to compliment the 24 hr. hand would look like??. See what you've started....

Oh...& to everyone on here, have a safe & happy holiday

Could be a bit disconcerting, if you're accustomed to seeing only a single red hand (gmt) and then all of a sudden you have 2 red hands.
