SERGEANT_AT_ARMS Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 This one is an entirely gen 1961 PCG Corino GMT Master with tropical gilt chapter ring exclamation point dial. Both the caseback and 7206 rivet bracelet are dated second quarter of 1961 case serial is 694XXX. When I started this it was only a case and non-functioning movement. It is now completely period correct (including violet insert) with no service parts (even has the butterfly rotor intact). I'll post a more in depth descrption with more pics sometime in the future when summer winds down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolexaddict Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I agree, very, very nice, just a precision about toomuchgear's comments : I confirm that 1675, 16750 and 1655 Explo II, all these 3 watches USE THE SAME CASE we have a funny story here about a 1655 owner who has given his watch to the Rolex center for servicing, direct, not asking for an estimate. They gave him back a very nice serviced 1675 with a consistant bill... The guy said they made a mistake, its not his watch... The employee said "Sir, your case was engraved 1675, so we have put again your watch in conformity" lol, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the 1675 cornino isent easy to do with the pointed crown gards, nor this regular 1675 isent easy also, i know that Rolexaddict (who is building it) uses a mold from a gen 1675 to shape the crown gards on this regular 1675. I will write a full storie about the watch very very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vilius69 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I had 5513 built by PbDad, sold and I'm missing plexi, patina etc etc... now I am torn between Exp II 16750 and Master 1675 as I understand pointed CG is for early releases and it is more expensive though. my aim is "not to be called out" regarding the gen price will be very interesting to read your story btw I can find on ebay gen dials from $100 to almost $1K... does it depend on the rarity or so? same with the bracelets, found for $800 I can asume price should be like $200-300 yea i can understand you 110%!

Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 A gen dial is ice on the cake fore sure but the ones i always wanted whent from 500-800 and i think that is a little to much, but you can find very nice gen dials for alot less if you are at the right place at the right time the price depends on condition on the dial and what year. With my cornino i bought a yuki dial not longer made im afraid! With this new one i whent with a nd-trading dial they are the best aftermarket dials out there. I also have two sets of great aftermaket jubilee bracelets, they feel all gen and i dont think a gen would make me feel better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vilius69 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Thanks for the info ! My personal preference goes for the late models with whiter lume. Think Yuki make quite nice dials for these. And Jubilee bracelet just make this watch LAVISH ! Looks sporty and elegant at the same time, something which can not be repeated. Btw can you tell where have you sourced your bracelets? There many of producers but not all make good stuff, eg wholesaleoutlet bracelet is rather cheapa chepa A gen dial is ice on the cake fore sure but the ones i always wanted whent from 500-800 and i think that is a little to much, but you can find very nice gen dials for alot less if you are at the right place at the right time the price depends on condition on the dial and what year.
