docblackrock Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Depends on whose 'nipples' we're referring to Exhibit A - the most unbelievably cheesy and abhorrent GMT ever - the Burt Reynolds of vintage Rolex - my god can it get any worse??? Two-tone GMT with Nipple dial with 'root beer' insert on Jubilee (one of Andy's obviously) WARNING - THOSE OF A NERVOUS DISPOSITION SHOULD AVERT THEIR EYES NOW TO AVOI........*AARGH!!!!!! TOO LATE!!!* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmg Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 DBR, I'm not a fan of Jubilee's either but I have to agree with Nanuq and Euno that on a GMT it just pops and seems at home! You can start slinging it at me too now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Some more unorthodox pics - or should I say orthodox? I wish that I didn't sell the faded bezel a few years ago - stupid stupid me. Somehow I had thought that I had another faded bezel insert in my stockpile. More... What happened to the lume on the GMT hand? Ok, it's been fixed a long time ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no affinity for revolutionaries or communists, just that I like the irony that he's wearing a bourgeois symbol. What's stranger is, somehow my avatar has reverted to the Calico Jack without me changing it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Magnum (Tom Selleck's) GMT Master... with the only real color combo for the Rolex purists: Pepsi. You know, I think that's the actual watch that got me interested in the GMT-Master - I must have been 10 or so and can remember that episode of Magnum (one of my favourites - Hawaii, Ferrari, helicopter, crimefighting....not the Dobermanns though ) - his father's wasn't it, died in Korea/Vietnam and Magnum had been given it at his funeral. Great episode pretty much all about the watch - must see about getting hold of that. And look, no Jubilee in sight - just the purists' Oyster!

docblackrock Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 You have no idea how much I hate that avatar. what's your problem exactly Vic? That it's portrays a Communist revolutionary? Like TMG I also appreciate the irony of such a man looking for all the world like he could be sitting in some high-backed leather chair in some gentlemans' club off St James', smoking a Romeo Y Julieta with a Rolex on his arm I'm sure if you kept your own avatar the same for more than 48 hours, we too could get the chance to irrationally hate them too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoria Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Magnum (Tom Selleck's) GMT Master... with the only real color combo for the Rolex purists: Pepsi. Newbie question: Were the 80s Pepsi Subs smaller? Aren't they all one size? Reason I ask is that the watch looks tiny on Selleck's wrist. Having IMDB'ed for his height, I see he and my father are precisely the same height. But dad's gen Sub covers nearly his whole wrist, and doesn't look small compared to this photo. Of course, men of similar heights can have different body builds, and Selleck's wrist could be very big, but still... @TMG: Yay! Lovely pic, is that watch yours?? I think I'll rip off your Che idea, giving it my own spin. Stay tuned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmg Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 A VERY worthy substitution Some details perhaps? This is my same franken show before in this thread and in the wrist checks, just a better pix with an antique effect. My 1655 is a franken of 3 watches; 1 from TTK (the MBK version) I used the movement, dial, bezel and second hand from it and 2 of Andrew's 1655 models, (ROLEXP2002) for the case and Orange hand. Lastly, take it or leave it the caseback from (ROLVIN007) -this was my first 1655 rep and has the correct engraving and better shape so I used it. The dial was aged and the 24 hour indices extended a little to the edge of the dial. A genuine T116 was installed (glued in place) as well as a set of vintage relumed NOS Omega hour & minute hands from Ofrei (stock# HAN-2752). The stock GMT and seconds hands were recycled and repainted in flat colors plus a vintage lume. The Omega hands are nearly spot on to the real deal Explorer II and really make the watch. The hands are never correct on any of the 1655 reps. To finish it off I have a gen 7836 folded bracelet fitted to it. All in all, aside from the incorrect beat rate and the date mag being a little too large, I'm quite happy with the results of this project.
