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

Datejust Bezel on a GMT Master II?
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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
