UmpaHimself Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 I was doing some reading and research on crystals. In another thread Nanuq was talking about CWP Tropic 19s and my searching led me to a post on VRF about a guy named Michael Young and his T19 replacement crystals. The OP stated "Unfortunately, he didn't lug along his vintage Rolex collection but he was sporting his customized black DLC GMT 1675 on a camouflage NATO. Stealthy Rolex travel watch?" Which was followed by this picture that almost made me fall out of my chair in disgust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rg21044 Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Probably because he can. You can't teach good taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogladio Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 THE ugliest watch I've ever seen. Remarkable, given it used to be a 1675 - one of my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceejay Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Apart from the fact it is an abomination, isn't the Swiss T 25 dial and the small GMT hand a mismatch? Early GMT hand with a later dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droptopman Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Michael is a really great guy and awesome at what he does, but....C'Mon Man. @ceejay I believe this combination is possible. 1966 was the transitional year so you see both gilt and matte dials with both big and little GMT hands. Guessing this is a 66 or early 67. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elchino Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 What a terrible mistake! Looks like a cheapo and that green numbers on the bezel... Oh my god, made my eyes bleed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

508-Fanatic Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 If I was forced to wear that watch, as some sort of punishment, I should loose thine own hand rather than let such an abomination rest upon my wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
