I've read a couple comparisons between the 2824-2 and 2893-2, and most agree that the 2893-2 is a better movement and is generally more accurate.  The one on my DOXA winds buttery smooth (almost like its not actually winding anything), much smoother than any 2824-2 that I own.

Yea I've never seen a 2824 modded for GMT only the 2836. And they have used a modded 2892 also but I think as you Eric the 2893 is the better choice and most used to I think.
