: Hi Jeff
I can belive it, because I have had a similar watch in my hand .It had a blue and red GMT bezal,with non GMT hands,with a montreal dial.And unless Mark bought the watch from Harpers of York England,there are more about than we thought.Perhaps I was wrong and I should have taken a gamble and acquired it.I think not is there someone makeing these up?????.
