dieselpower Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 The GMT master is the first gen rolex I ever saw. Some rich kid at school wore one when he was 14 years old! Very nice, like the step by step photos. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 B, glad the hand went to good use! It looks right at home. I'm glad you like it! She's comfortably at home now, ticking merrily away. Small problem though, when pressing the crystal retaining ring back on, I *cough* dented the caseback. I'm thinking who here has the biggest, manliest machine press? Hmmmmmm... JMB comes to mind. Think I'll PM him and see if he wants to tackle making my caseback flat-ish again.

freddy333 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 If this was a dress watch, I would get it fixed/replaced. But, on a tool watch, as long as it is not impeding the rotor, I would leave the caseback as it is. It adds character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, on a tool watch, as long as it is not impeding the rotor, I would leave the caseback as it is. It adds character. It doesn't hit the rotor, so that's good. I'm thinking... fill it with gas fumes and strike a match...... PFOOM!!! Small internal explosion, caseback is pushed back out again. Lesson learned: a 1675 caseback is way weaker than a 1665.

It adds character. yes we could say that the watch was on a airoplane and ditched in the sea and went deep.deep,deep and suffered from the pressure ,everyone likes a story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
