Kiefer just back from SSTEEL:

Never hurts asking Also reacted on the hands, probably pictures.

Ask about service replacement parts

Always impressed how people can throw $10k into a build, but not spend a couple of hundred bucks on a decent camera...

The limited edition (noodLE) has even greater color

To be honest, I was also surprised. Especially as dials were earlier stopped for QC issues, but guess stress of irritated PMs and draining of funds made him open the control gates... Those mega fat font indices on my 202a doesn't look good at all unfortunately. A strip and redo could make the dial acceptable - let's see what I'll do (yes, also awaiting rolli)... I always find it a shame when ambitious and talented guys like Steph takes on something (in the best interest of the forum) that proves to be too much to chew. SD - if you're reading this I'd still like to say thanks: all these dials didn't turn out as great as you wanted (high variation) but you did try to make a difference! Appreciate that.

Great info here, thanks guys.

So, how long is it gonna be March 22..?

Guys, amazing watches today! Just got pre-v screws in today from the aussie guy, so 201a back in action.

Nice franken! No idea if that term is used also for bike hobby.... Great to see peoples other interests, thanks!

These pearls are great.

Shot some pics today as the sun came out. What I really love most about this build is its profile - this is quite hard to get with a josh 1655 base:

Some pics of my 202a non-matching dial, some variation to what posted from Grimlocktime especially regarding lume application: FGD left, SD middle, Fitch on right: Flash on, general apologies re pic quality - hope they at least tell something about these dials

Still 1675:

Anything specific in mind mate? Best sub?

Lovely!

That was one mighty impressive Rolex collection! Now is the time to climb back up in the saddle Welcome back!

Looks like you have all the right ingredients there. Nice touch with the gen tropic! Will you be reluming/aging the dial or are you going for a "fresh from the factory" look?

So much for Swedish spring...

Filtertime for the 03b today

Easy to come by... Good description mate Iirc, our paths first crossed when I saw your rework on a wso bezel (getting them to have the more "pointy V" shape to match mkI). Fun thing is that the gen case (1.74 mil) also matches the dial - as well as the separately bought caseback. As you said, stacking parts is like strolling into Walmart...

^^^Wow, really looking forward seeing that JoeyB! These old GMTs sure have a special allure about them. Have promised myself "no more vintage Rolex builds" - but thi might just be what makes me break that promise...

Well, guess you could always buy and try a 58 endlink! Interesting info there, would be nice to hear if it works out.
