Nice mods. But how do you determine a 2nd time zone without a 24 hour hand?

Hi Dan - It was more for the look of the GMT than a usable function to be honest but completely understand your point.

I use a 12hr bezel to tell the 2nd time zone. His 24hr bezel does make it a little more convoluted without a 24hr hand.

Agreed, I have 4 Seiko mods w/ 12 hour bezels. Really adds functionality to these robust divers.

To the OP, those are cool mods though. I have that same Seiko 5 that I’ve been meaning to change the bezel insert on.

No no, it's "The thumb in the middle of the hand"!

12hour bezel makes some sense, 24 is a hard no for me
form over function
