Beautiful pictures! Whereabouts is Lake Maggiore?

North Italy, near the swiss border.

Wiki

As usual, I want to share with you some photos

I spent the afternoon here, on Lake Maggiore. It's a huge botanic garden!

The lake

"Giardino all'italiana"

Some flowers:

Strange animals...

Hey! Who is this guy?

And this was on my wrist...

This will explain where my last wristshot comes from

Beautiful piece tmg!

@ Stephane:

The cream is lovely, but the black is cool and classy. Keep it!

Or build two frankens and have both!

I bought it used in late February because I thougt it was a noob gmt (the seller told me it was.... )

Let's see how it has changed...

Then it turned black

It is a 2 y.o. CN GMT with Eta (doing +12) and now it's a COSC (-1)!

It even losts the glass! LOL! Chinese assembly

Light CG job, cleaning, adjusting, new bezel insert, polishing, cyclope aligned and glued back in place.

Steel is brighter (than my SSD), bracelet is better (but too light) and hand's lume is quite nice!

However its a bad rep with a lot of flaws....

If you are a rep nerd, don't buy one!

As jkerouac said....why not a Montblanc?

It's classic and nice.

BTW I wouldn't buy one: it looks too big

I used to play CS....but PC gaming is too expensive now...you need an hardware which is up to date....and mine's not

So I play the 360

Mostly COD4 and Forza2....GTA IV sometimes....

I love COD4!

I agree. It was an epic duel!

It's a beauty!

Anyone had ever tried the Omega Seamaster Gmt?

Looks interesting, but over 40 mm case...

It's not even nice.... I mean...it's crap!!

How can someone find it good looking?

Thanks for sharing!

Still this

If you want to see how they make a rolex case, follow this link and then click on the 904L Steel image.

904L

I don't think it was a good idea to link directly to ROLEX website....

They probably knows about RWG....but I think it's better to stay low profile.

It's a Hirsch Carbon Fiber Strap. You can find it almost on every online store.

Example

Mine had white stitching, but I turned them red

Like this one for example

BE AWARE that those are for Panerai. Too big.

I didn't found 20 mm with red stitching....

So I did it by myself and turned the white into red. It's quite easy!

P.S. It's waterproof 100 m!

I think that all black is very low profile and classy.

I'll keep it like this for a while...until I'll find a noob gmt case..

@ By-Tor

Your insert is a way better than mine from Cousinsuk....is yours gen?

mmm pointy crownguards

and that caseback.... :wub:

Man, this is an anthology piece!

I love it! But I have a CN Gmt

As Tribal said here LINK

The dial is smaller....the bezel insert is also smaller, like the seadweller.

So the bezel and the case should be smaller too.

I just found this ebay item => 130236928107

It says dial size is 26.85mm.

So, what about the 16610 dial?

By the way, the dial auctioned, looks strange (the 6 hour marker to close to swiss made), but not like the rep one. So I guess it's gen...maybe a redial?

Experts, please chime in and solve the puzzle

Ok guys....I've just finished doing it...

I disassembled a CN gmt (cyclope was to far right)... popped out the crystal... heated, hitted with a knife => cyclope popped, crystal cleaned, back on the work bench....reassembled!

Tomorrow I'll go to buy some UV cement or glass glue.

It was hard... (I'm a noob)

Some advices for those who are brave and want to try to heat the crystal:

Acetone wasn't working, so I used HEAT. A LOT....yeah, you are trying and isn't working?

Don't be afraid, it won't explode. Use MORE heat!

I said MORE .

And then, suddenly, the cyclope change colour....that's the time!

Hit the cyclope with a knife....et voil

You sure the gen dial will fit the case?

Isn't smaller?

Thanks man!

I was looking for this kind of tips!

Acetone-bath seems a good idea!

Boring ?

How about me

Boring????

You just have a Submariner Frenzy

Rolexes are never boring. They looks all the same, until you own one (especially if gen).

Thank God we have reps, so we can satisfy our Rolex Frenzy Disease without getting our bank account empty!

I want a Submariner so baaaaad

I think I am infected with RDD

Very nice! It's a shame that doesn't fit

The mag from the gen crystal is perfect!

Thanks for sharing!
