This started out as a Rolex GMT 1675 MK5 Matte Dial build by Yodog and the previous owner added the gen insert, crown and bracelet/endlinks. This appears to be a 1978 model. This is my first gen Jubilee bracelet and it's surprisingly comfortable with the usual amount of stretch for it's age.

Swapped out the Pepsi insert for the black FF service insert (with the more correct font for this mk 5 dial build). The Pepsi insert will go into the Type C gilt dial/PCG build and is more correct for that watch.

That watch looks GREAT (and is on my list). I too have had work done by yodog and can't say enough good things about him/his work.
He's a very big asset to this community!!
