Hello Gang…

I dont want to steal the show from anyone ;) but i have to show this one of :D

 

Here it is the amazing build RolexAddict's rolex gmt 1675 ”EL Cornino”

 

First of all i want to thank the following guy’s with all my heart!

And i cant thank them enough with words, therefor gift's will come there way soon :)

 

 

Akira, thanks man, You helped me out alot with all your info and pics. You played a BIG role in this, hooking me up with RA and making this [censored] go down!!!

 

JJ aka Rolexaddict, how should i put this!!! JJ i have NO words of how happy you made me with this build of yours, the watch is AMAZING!!! YOU are amazing, RWG should be very very proud of a member and artist like you!!! Your work, knowleg and skills is a gift that you have. Many probebly envy you but me, i [censored] love you man!!!

 

Andygt the man (pikee, hahaha) from the UK, Thanks for making things easy! If it wasent for your  1655 case this would still be a dream! And thanks for acting fast and smoth! You are the uk pride!

 

 LOVE YOU GUY’S!!!

 

Fact is that i have for a very very long time wanted a vintage gmt. Joshua and Andrew hade many emails from me asking about the vintage gmts ect ect, but as many of us knows there isent a decent vintage gmt out there directly from the dealers.

 

So here it is, the [censored] EL Cornino. When i saw the finished watch that RA build i was speachless it blowed me away,  Im realy out of words here. I let the pics play and sing for them self ;)

Enjoy you crazy [censored]s!

UNBELIEVABLE. One of the most beautiful rep I've ever seen (and I've seen quite a lot). Mighty Z., if one day you'll ever decide to part with it, you know who to call!

Wow that is superb!!! Congrats. That was a fast build. Damn I should of ordered a yuki gilt dial instead :(

Yeha, the gilt dial looks much better if you ask me...

What do you think of the sexy vintage loooong gmt hand?

Posted

Wow..how do i get in touch with RA?

I got the base 1655 and jubilee..got a gen 1675 dial..got the asian 2836-2 movement..

Waitin on hands and bezel assembly..

I wish i could assemble mine as well..

Freaking lovely watch!!! And love tat fade on the insert..

I like my dial very very much :D infact i love the hole watch including the dial very very much :D

I think this dial is the best rep dial out there to this date, and the Cornet dosent bother me one bit. The onely way to get a better dial is to go out hunting for a gen one, and that can be very hard ;)

Ooohh, did i mention how the gen springbars make me horny, i know im strange but i love gen springbars :D

Not more correct, but a different production model.

The gilt dial 1675 without "chapter ring exclamation" is a rare piece.

I've seen it PCG and square

With small GMT hand as well as normal

All 1960-1965

nope: pointed CGs, small GMT hand = chapter ring dial :) everything else is "Bastelwastel" :D
