With Ubi's return to the scene with Prevendome as his central thematique', I figured: "why not grace RWG with a unique project"? What you are about to visualize is a 6538 BC sparked off when T and I were casually discussing about a possible one-off "Tropical Project" which involved a whole lotta [James Bond 007] association, the 1960s, R.O.L.E.X, heritage, and a distinctive lustre of sun-bursting dial that chameleons according to the intensity of inward / outward sunlight. Without further ago..I will first post this beauty against a black backdrop, with another marine blue to come in a bit. Rushing off to work, 9pm till I come...

Just got mine back today from misielkped, exactly the same specs as m1ars00's GMT. This isn't a cheap build, but it's a beautiful watch, and one that you can wear anywhere and not worry about having to walk around with your left hand in your pocket!! There are two guys on this forum that to me are as good as it gets when it comes to building Rolex frankens, Mymanmatt if you are looking for a Datejust or DayDate and misielkped if you want the best GMTIIC you can find. We are blessed and lucky to have those guys here in the USA for Rolex work. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Congrats mate. She is a keeper!! Told you it was worth it.

So, it was actually 2 packages that were pulled for inspection. The TD sent the first package, it hit customs, the online notification system notified me that the first package had cleared and that the next step was "proceeding to destination." At this point I had contacted the TD and gave him the green light to send the second parcel. Somehow, the second package caught up to the first package, and now both are being held. WTF. To anybody reading this, DO NOT green light proceeding parcels until you have the preceding parcel IN HAND (I learned this the hard way). After thinking about it, it was probably the arrival of the second package being delivered to the same address that shot up the red flag. luckily for me, Toro is an absolutely outstanding person to do business with, and he has informed me that in the event that the packages do not clear, he will reship using HK Airmail (which is the safest method for shipping). I will probably only be utilizing HK Airmail for all future purchases - out of fairness to the dealer (they really shouldnt be obligated to replace the goods - that is a risk we must realize as buyers in a black market hobby; we are very lucky to have this network of high caliber dealers). I too myself am a businessman, and I highly respect the TD and the way he deal with this situation, Especially considering I paid him via Western Union, and should he have decided not to reship - there isnt a darn thing i could have done about it. Im fairly new to this hobby and as an RWG Member - All I can say is you guys are great. Shoutouts to all the Admins and TDs for maintaining this neat little community.
