...joining William with the "other" gmt...the 2538.20 Great White...

I'M PERPLEXED AS TO WHY DIFFERENT MODEL #'S FOR THESE, ESSENTIALLY SAME TIMEPIECE JUST DIFFERENT DIAL COLORS



That's a very good comment William...I had assumed they were identical cases, until the "seamaster rubber strap saga" got going and Chris (OldeCrow) had commented that the Ofrei strap fit his great white (you noted it did not fit your 2234.50), and Chris also commented that the 2234.50 gmt uses a 168.1613 case number which must be slightly different.

I'm not really sure how they are different...it has got to be very subtle though based on the looks.
