The Humboldt GMT, with a hand-painted permit dial

The Humboldt GMT with a hand-painted permit dial on a navy strap, between two Tailwaters stickers

This permit was hand-painted for Tailwaters by Tim Johnson, our dial artist and an Orvis-endorsed guide. Each dial takes him about eight hours under a microscope with a single-bristle brush. Tailwaters also has the Humboldt GMT with our standard dials.
