The Chief

I love the name of this Glycine. However I don't wear it often as I am afraid of reading the time wrongly as the GMT hand is the same color as the rest. Wondering if anyone has tried changing the hand or painting it another color.

I love the Airman!  That said, I found the hands and dial on The Chief to be a bit of a jumbled mish mash, which is why I went for the DC-4:

I have seen an example online where someone painted the tip of the GMT hand red, and it came out really nice.  I’ll post it if I can find it.

I don’t think I’d do it to a DC-4.  The hands are different enough in shape.

thats true but imagine that red pop colour on the dial lol 😂.

This looks like a case of complicated looking good.  Win/win.

I’ve got the Airman GL0195… much easier to read as the GMT hand is a completely different shape

You'd be a far braver person than I to even attempt it!  I'd want that sucker to dry before allowing it anywhere near the dial.

I can see how that would be an issue. Cool watch though.

Wise decision!

Sounds easy but I would probably freak out 😀

Hey, that date window is plenty big enough to read around the giant GMT hand 😂
