Just back from repair...
Sent my 1968 GMT Master in to Alex at Alex's Watchworks in Portland a few weeks ago and just got it back today. Pretty happy with the work he did. It looks great. Happy to have it back.

The more I look at this photo, the more I am considering replacing the hands so they match the face. (The face was replaced back in the 80s by my stepfather after it got wet.) Anyone have an opinion on that? Any idea the cost of hands for this? Should I get newer hands that actually glow?

@ DrBardo
I'd go another direction: Source a '68 era dial and keep your original hands. Sell your existing 80s replacement dial. |
