GMT Green Dial SS Swap?

Anyone ever put the green GMT dial in a SS watch?

I think that would be a great look. Maybe.

Not sure with the gold accents... I have seen it in TT and it looked good!

Well...maybe it'll give a "gilt" look.

Yes me too - I had to look quickly away because I was starting to drool...

But seriously, the green dial on the TT version looks fantastic! Rolex should consider introducing it as a standard model.

Just my opinion of course, but I would think it would need the gold-either full or TT-to pull off the accents in the dial...especially if you kept the hands as WG.

Lots of vintage SS watches even Rolex have gold on their dials. Don't see the problem from that view point. Think it comes down to personal taste

A bit OT: is it possible to change dials between the GMT-c and last generation GMT, if you could source a dial?
