Andy,

Exactly what i've seen here m8, the lugs on the GMT are taller in height, not noticable until you see both cases together but very apparent when you do.

Both case are stamped 11630, i've seen it a few times now but its the first time i've replaced a crystal in the GMT 11630.

The crystal/gasket set-up is also different, i cannot understand why either, its not like it offered a higher water resistance, i believe all Autavia's are rated to 100m??

Anyone else have info regarding these differences?.

Thanks in advance,

James.
