Made my 1st GMT watch ! Now with insert options

teats Joined Jan 2008 Posts 1326 EE 100% (3) NM, USA	Posted: 4/24/2024 5:01:27 PM EDT [Last Edit: teats] After about 40 watches now, I finally did my first GMT. Super easy. Everything moves as it should, but I've left it to correspond to my time. I don't have to watch another time zone yet. Waiting for inserts to arrive to pic one that I like best. Used an NH34 movement.

Thank you.
I have 2 other watches with very similar inserts as the all black with blue numbers.
I have no batman in black and blue.
I do have a black and purple coming in still.
