redwatch Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Ooooohhhh! Very nice Ubi! What GMT is that for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted March 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Ahhh... The GMT insert is an aftermarket example for a 1675. I've had it sitting in my parts bin for years; no plans for it, so I figured it was a good specimen for experimenting further to try and get a darker finish from the aging process.

P4GTR Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 The MBW's came out really good. The 4-0 connecting urks me a little. Though, thats the thing with the rolex "tells".. They urk me more than any other. Knowing they can get much more complex details correct, the Rolex sport line shouldn't be so difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
