Purchased this watch on the bay for the band mostly, but I am really looking forward to the GMT watch as well.
Now my Sea Wolf orange, black and now GMT can all share this nice band.

seawolf---great find,original champions hard to find and expensive.NICE GMT ! when i got my gmt i thought i would just slap on an 18mm band real quick--WRONG!!!! my gmt is 17mm and i had to gind metal off the ends of the band for it to fit. i assumed it was the same size as my seawolf.the aftermarket band i put on it had straight ends so it wasnt too much work.

Congrats! I actually had that same one in my watched items, but backed off because I didnt' think I could get the bezel fixed or replaced (and there was a NOS one like it on the bay a few months ago - shucks!). Looks like a keeper to me.

yeah-the bezels are very scarce! a friend had a gmt missing the bezel and about 6 months ago i won the bid on a grey/black one for him at $38.00.used but perfect condition.man, he couldnt get the money out of his pocket any quicker!! JON P
