Looks good!!!!

[Guest zeleni kukuruz]

Yes it dose look good, but is it the correct case? Thikness?

listen to Akira

Case looks a little thick to me and those yellow markers are a turn-off. So far the concensus around here is that sticking to the Josh 1655 Explorer II case and building a 1675 is the best course. But it runs around $500 for all of the parts.

Here's the same watch with white markers- much more to my liking

And you have to admit, it is half what building a 1675 costs. The dial is better, doesn't say 'Oyster Perpetual Date'.

And who's gonna really notice the too thick case?

[Guest zeleni kukuruz]

God damn gmt's!!!

[censored] em all i'll say!!!

Nobody hase a nice one to sell me?

Thanks m8, i could easy pay 500$ for a nice gmt

The one you posted its about 2mm thick right? Thats the god damn thing that bugs me, i can easy see that its to thick!

[speedbird100]

Naw, I've looked. The 2c is as good as a gmt is gonna get. The cartel 1675 isn't horrifying but not perfect like they claim.

[JoeyB]

That depends on how 'vintage' you want to go. The 16710 'retro' from Josh is very good out of the box.

[FxrAndy]

Got a link for that One Joey

I have the so called 1:1 from Josh. I had pbdad do sum mods to it. Im having him swap the dial for a yuki dial as we speak. . This is the watch with 2 differ Gen inserts

[bigjule111]

This is how it looked wen I first got it. B pretty bad !!! One word of advice. Stay away from the orange fake patina. It's really bad

What 'e said

[bigjule111]

Ths is a expensive project. Still need the dial. The case is a lil thick but I can liv with that. I can't liv with the dial. So far I've replaced the bezel,insert,xstal,datedisk and the bracelet. Had to paint gmt hand it came in a metallic red color and the indices had to b redone. U cannot wear it out of the box like that. Looks to ridiculous

[Guest zeleni kukuruz]

Well i have put this project on the shelf!

Im NO watchsmith i can onely do small fixes on watches but building on is NO NO for me!

Bet I can onely pray and hope that Star69 will sell me a nice vintage rolex in the future!
