Datejust Bezel on a GMT Master II?

Hi all, I'd like to know if a 41mm smooth Datejust bezel would fit onto a GMT Master II ref. 126710. I'd like to go for a Brando-ish look, and since the 126710 case is different than the 1675, I figure a smooth bezel would approximate that look a bit better. But before I go through the trouble of sourcing a Datejust bezel and take the bezel off of my GMT Master II, I wanted to know if that would even work.

Thanks

I don’t have an answer for you, but if it’s a legit question, then it’s awesome. Thank you!

The DJ41 is not 41. I’d bet against this

Yes, I seriously doubt it would fit. Two completely different watches in terms of size and dimensions. GMT has a bigger case and bezel. DJ has a bigger dial.

Plus, I have a DJ41 and a GMT. I just can’t imagine how awful that would look if you combined those two together like that.

Have to agree and it will not fit totally different,just take the bezel off but then not much good as a GMT watch.

Brando's Col. Kurtz character didn't have a domed bezel on his watch during filming of Apocalypse Now.




Just pop the bezel off...

But do not self-engrave the caseback unless you can buy a spare one.
