I am happy to buy the GMT from you, and then you can purchase a new one that has a bezel your prefer!!
Thoughts? :)
: Am not too happy with the girly colours on my 2446c 1st exec GMT
: bezel. Doesn't look too manly in my view - baby blue and pink
: and glossy!
: Anyway searched for replacements which are nowhere to be found.
: What I intend to do is try a solution (reversible) using a
: printed aluminium foil stickers. Found a supplier with minimum
: run of 100 each time.
: Need help in getting hires pictures of original bezel (both types).
: For color if anyone knows Pantone code that's best if not it
: would be great if pics of bezel can be taken with a neutral grey
: scale next to it so I can do correct colour correction and
: matching.
: If anyone knows the font type that will be helpful otherwise I will
: use my watch as the sample and if no ready font is available I
: will just draw them in vector.
: Bezel colors look like they are anodized ie. semitransparent with
: metal sheen showing through. Can experts with NOS examples
: confirm this.
: Of course the simplest thing is for me to buy your NOS example for
: best accuracy (let me know, yes it's a bit of a ploy to get the
: best example but project is real)
: Application will be using soap solution while trying to get proper
: registration of sticker on bezel. After soap solution dries it
: will stick. Removal is peel off with application of heat from
: hair dryer. Have done this on multiple other projects with more
: delicate substrate than heuer bezels
: Ok thanks and here's my girly girl gmt
