Excellent, just did that one. It's actually a rather nice-looking watch, and the overall price is very reasonable. I had used the case before for 31mm Omega-style dials with NH35 movements, but I didn't like the leather strap all that much. So my GMT watch is still waiting for a different strap to come in.

Thanks for posting this! The alignment of the screws and getting a consistent vertical gap to fully engage the gaskets is a bit of fun isn't it?

the alignment was a nightmare (removed a good 10 minutes of footage out of video) but I think the results are worth it. Thank you for the compliment and for watching.
