Here I present a Rolex GMT MASTER II finished the three days ago.

I have used noob casing CHS movement,
gen datewheel,
gen bezel
and
gen glass

I don’t really want to send this to the customer,

Don’t mock my wrist size ????

What you think of this

It looks very nice, good job!

A couple of thoughts if I may, it looks like the bezel is quite dirty and would benefit from a nice cleaning session with a gentle toothbrush.

Also there doesn't seem to be any SEL gaps but they look flush and they would look nicer with a little bit of grinding to get them recessed a little. My 2 cents ;

Your tips are super helpful, and I yes I saw dirt on the bezel as i posted, thankfully I already cleaned,

Thanks for the SEL pointer I’ll have a go soon.

This is exactly the build I am after - did you cut off the teeth on the gen datewheel to use as overlay? For the bezel did you get the whole assembly or just the bezel and mod the existing noob assembly?
I have heard it's quite easy to damage the dial and hands when taking apart. Any tips on how to?

Any chance you can elaborate on what this build cost?

Where did you get the date wheel and which modder did it? Is it too difficult?
Thank you!

Yes the dial is so very easy to damage of make dirty! You have to have the correct equipment and environment

You have hairy wrists. LOL

Seriously, very nice! If I didn't already have one in the pipeline, we'd be talking. :D

Unless you do others...??? ;)

Great built and tempting, but there’s no saving from the time bomb movement!!???? What your take on the CHS clone movement???
