Very nice!  Seems like there are a few of us building some TT watches.  I just finish sourcing my parts to build a TT GMT IIc.  Great build!

 

CC...what GMTIIC TT parts did you get/find?

 

..and DC..buddy...WOW...just WOW!

beautiful build, congrats!

 

one minor thing though, your insert predates your case- when the no lughole case came out, Rolex changed to the skinny 4 in 40 on the insert. But I've seen MK1 LVs with the fat 4 and maybe it's the same with the 16613.

Not to thread jack... its all in good TT fun!  My current parts list is as follows:

 

BP TT GMT IIc (x2 using the best parts of two BP TT GMTs for the build; clasp, rehaut engravings, case)

unknown origin GMT IIc CHS (this watch has been running for 3-4 years with no issues)

Gen 18k Gold Bezel

Gen Gold Insert

Gen GMT IIc Bezel Assembly

Gen 18k Crown w/ TC Tube

Gen AR Crystal

WSO 18k Solid Gold Midlink Bracelet

 

14k Gold Wrapped Bracelet (off a TrustyTime #ROLGMT092, but this is most likely going to a 16613 build)

 

I'll have the dial and hands relumed to match each other, BPs lume has a slight difference.  I almost snagged a gen dial but the owner wanted a crazy sum for it, BPs dial will do for now.  I will also be posting a thread showing some additional pictures of the TrustyTime 14k wrapped bracelet.  In summary I give it a 7.5/10 in terms of look.  Obviously lacks the weight of real gold.  I will also start a thread in regards to this build.  Sorry for the thread jack!
