Im sorry for getting off topic but I haven't been able to stop thinking about that watch all day haha
I have to know... KJ2020 where did you get that blue gmt insert from???

Haha, yeah that's one of my fav's too. Insert came from here:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/38-MM-Ceram...Cclp%3A2334524

Most aftermarket inserts come with white marker fill, which needs to be dug out prior to refilling with silver.

I wonder why can't anyone get the blue insert dark enough :confused:. Also those custom Rolex styles are amazing. ;) I wish that someday Tudor would bring back the Blue Tudor Submariner Snowflake with the cyclops of course :p I love that watch. Such a classic piece.

That blue green combination caught my eye. Nice touch with the green GMT-Master II and DEEPSEA lettering and on the green arm on the GMT hand. Between the GMT and Sea-Dweller, I prefer the Sea-Dweller’s green, it reminds me of the Seattle Seahawks (American) football team’s colors.

The blue dial/insert combo is interesting but they are definitely not the same blue. Perhaps they may be metamers (ie match in some lighting and not in others) but that particular watch would be distracting for me.

Overall though nice watches and thank you for being creative and sharing your creations. One of the things about reps is everyone wants theirs to look like a gen. What’s funny is that some people will spend a lot of money to go the opposite way and mod their gens to not look like every other one.

Because the reps are getting so good, I think it’s only a matter of time until we start seeing more creativity. Engraving, colors, hands, lettering...I say bring it on!

Can someone send KJs resume over to Rolex,
holy shit that gold hulk is so nice

Haha, I wish bro. If I ran the circus there would always be some surprises coming! That FG Hulk pic is from someome on the internet whose graphic artist is way more skilled than me. Though I did want one before seeing that. It's a logical next step and I wouldn't be surprised to see it come back as a 126618.

Augh, love that gold LV. Only problem is Rolex’s ads alway show their ceramic bezels as slightly metallic and in the metal they’ve always looked weird to me against the sunburst dial.

a sunburst 16618LV with a champagne DW would be my dark fantasy.

Really hate to keep de-railing this thread but this is too good not to share.

Yes I saw, the insert looks very nice. I asked TrustyTime if they can get me the one with the jubilee bracelet

It doesn't appear that the V2 has been released with Jubilee yet. VRF did the same thing with their initial release, the 126710 did not come out for several months. One member got one early with a Jubilee. Some TDs will go that extra mile if you pay extra for a second bracelet.
