Ordered a GMT-Master II 126720VTNR from Hont Watch after reading a few threads here. Paid by card, QC came back in two days and I asked for one more photo of the screw link fit. Approved it and it shipped the same week.
Looks better than the QC pics suggested.
Same issue on mine, told me it was normal.
Congrats, that dial is the right shade.
Been waiting on mine for three weeks now, this gives me hope.
That packaging is better than some I have had.
