Rolexaddict Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 GMT 1675 LADY BLUEBERRY SPECIFICATIONS : - Cartel 1655 Explorer II as case background, - Case reshaped, crown guards reworked, luge holes redrilled, - 21.600bph DG 3804D movement - Thin case back with flat bottom, - Clark 25-116 cristal - WSO complete bezel assembly, - Gen blue insert, - Yuki dial, - Rolex gen tube and gen 6mm crown, - Gen Rolex springbars, And a home made full red GMT hand... I have no precisions about the production of these watches with the full red GMT hand, sounds they are rare. I will post some gens pics I have found, The watch was slightly aged in accordance with the customer request : The watch has the look of a vintage watch with the natural wear marks and patina due the age, but in good conditions as well maintened by the owner, Both profiles have been reshaped to get the same thickness than the gen 1675/16750 cases. Crown guards have been redesigned and reshaped from the bottom. The case has exactly the same profile and cuts than the gen Lume in middle dark with a few seconds lamp shoot and ful dark after 30 seconds of lamp exposure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justlounging Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Very very nice JJ..is the insert gen though? The shape of the '2' does look abit odd.. Congrats again on such a fantastic build.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 :o :o 'Stunning', doesn't even come close... Absolutely flawless work and execution. Red hands are certainly enigmatic in their status, but that really is the icing on the cake of that build, and it fits perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolexaddict Posted August 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Thanks guys, Haha R, the lucky guy is a member from RWI forum, About the insert : This was given to me from a collector shop as a gift and was told its coming from Rolex USA. I am not an insert font specialist, it could be an aftermarket, I dont know. It was to wide and didn't at all fit the WSO bezel ring. I have reduced the diameter, it was also to thick for the WSO bezel ring so I removed metal from the bottom. Before I modded I tested it on a gen 16750 I had at home for serviving and it fitted perfect some red hand GMT pics, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 JJ, that red sexy gmt hand kills me!!! I have a boner JJ, im confused, is this a DG 3804D or a DG 3804B? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexaddict Posted August 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) It could be 3804B or another letter, but don't mind, the only difference is the bridge disposal, some of 3804 have a separate bridge for the escape wheel, but same GMT complication, same hand diameters and 21.600bph also 11 1/2 lines (diameter) and same thickness Edited August 5, 2012 by Rolexaddict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Thanks Sir I orderd a DG 3804B that you can use in my next build. I dident find any info on the DG 3804D not even a picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
