So sometimes i see a rolex model, and there is something in the colour of the dial/bezel, some details i really like and i'm like "What if they put this dial in that case" etc...
I begin to do some photoshop of what it would look like (and why not built it at some point!)

So my first one would be a 16610 case (i prefer the slim CG) with a GMT pepsi bezel and a blue YM sunburt dial (and SEL)




The second one would be my favorite datejust dial with my favorite datejust case (1530) and my favourite DW !



What would be yours?

I like this thread heska - nice idea! I think your YM/Sub/GMT mash-up really needs a GMT hand tho...

'll have to think about a contribution as well... It also seems the perfect place for KJ2020 to display some of his excellent real-life fantasy builds. :)

Loving the first 2 pics but...for the sake of my marriage (Wife has threatened to take away credit card access), please stop this thread. I am already nervous that someone (specially KJ) will share a pic that I can't resist thinking about building and then the Wifey comes after me :(

I'll try (and the rose gold/brown sub) when i have more time, but i think it would be doable with a sh/VR3135 converted to 3175 (What do you think occb2 ?). I just don't know the size of YM dial and if it fits a 16610 case

The YM/Sub/GMT mash-up needs a custom dial that says SUB-MASTER. :)

Wow, i really like the Pepsi Yachtmaster. Suits it very well.
Also the Deepsea Kermit is a stunner.
This is something i could think about building myself as i like the dial but cannot get warm with the huge sea dweller case :D

I can imagine KJ2020 with a drawer, near his socks & shirts, full of different bezel so he can choose which color will suit him the best for the day!

Do you mean like the root beer GMT? That would look great.

C Master Have you seen his new sub? It has the maxi 114060 dial in the 16610 case and bezel. It looks amazing! I need a date on my watches, all but the Daytona but I would wear that!

Also. I have a few star time cases and a left over phong case. I have tons of dials. I have a nice real 16710 GMT II dial and hands. I have a full bezel and crystal ring. New C12 crystal. I have a new Rolex 16610 crystal ring and tensioner. I will use a star time click. Build a 3175 or use a VR 3185 and build a crazy mix up, It would be mostly like a 16710 Pepsi but the crown will be 7mm.
