The SKX chapter ring is too small for the Turdle case. There are aftermarket Turdle cases that accept SKX parts, though.Ryeguy wrote:Does the 5KX GMT scale rehaut come off the dial easily?
I think a Turtle mod with the GMT movement/ rehaut (assuming the dial opening is the same size so the rehaut fits) and a date-only dial would be SWEET. Pretty much the perfect vacation travel watch IMO.
Alternatively, an SKX007 case with the 5KX dial, movement, and hand set would be equally perfect. I just don’t know if the GMT movement would fit into the SKX007 case.

Ok. I got two gmt movements. Now to wait for the dial, hands and maybe other parts. I want to do a turtle gmt.

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong

I tend to nerd out a bit over GMT dive watches that offer the 24 hour scale somewhere discretely on the dial and retain the use elapsed time bezel of a dive watch (which I use often to time things).
There are surprisingly few watches which offer this combination of 3 useful features (date / time, second time zone, elapsed time). When you look at "affordable" options with this combination, I think the only option is the Mido design.
