GMT MASTER II color insert idea ....

ok, I was looking at this replica gmt master and for th price it might be worth buying it, if only for the color insert? I am sure it just might fit and you got a insert-less watch when you go to the gym or ork on your car!!

don't people buy aftermarket inserts? So why not take the insert from this watch?

Why do you think it fits? At those watches sometimes
the insert is glued not pressed.

So save your money for the real deal. Who want a Rolex with
some crap on? Not me.

Alpha watches are neither fakes or replicas....they are homage watches. I have heard some respectable comments about Alpha watches, although, of course, you get what you pay for.

To echo Jocke.
There is no reason to expect the insert will fit on a GMT..

Hi steel4me, my AD is selling GMT2 insert, each for a price of US$105. Do you think I should buy it?

I would stick with only genuine rolex parts. I would love a Pepsi dial for my GMT!

In general, no, they don't buy aftermarket inserts (genuine ones aren't that hard to find)
