Seems like this watch would be perfect for certain forum members who happen to like "that school down south."

Ohio State's scarlet and gray would make a MUCH better looking watch! :P

The watch is nice enough looking though I'm not sure I personally care for the GMT hand, but why use a modified 2836 instead of ETA GMT movememt the 2893? Are others doing a similar mod on GMT offerings or is the unique to B.E.?

According to the review, it is unique to this watch. The 2836 is a DAY/date movement. The take the DAY wheel gear and re-gear it so that it make a complete turn every 24 hours rather than every seven days......face4.gif

Yeah but why? Just because you can? Don't get me wrong... I like me a 2836 as much as the next guy...

Who performs the modification and where is it done?

I think it's an enigma that's wrapped in a puzzle that remains a mystery!
