That is a seriously nice build. So its just a base BP 1675 and then a Milk insert? Where were the dial and GMT hand from Yuki? Did you relume the hands at all?

Mbari my bro always makes amazing pieces ... I’m beyond happy with this GMT! Thanks again buddy!

Thanks I’m sure it’s not for everyone but I have been a Serti dial fan for years

Off topic for this thread, but I'm thinking seriously of having some synthetic ruby gems cut for this dial. I asked a jeweler about it, it's not very expensive at all but I have to give him the markers only. He won't work on a fake Rolex dial. Not a dealbreaker, I probably would have wanted it that way anyway to eliminate risk to dial damage. They don't make these rep dials anymore AFAIK.

I could have helped you out a couple of years ago...my father (passed away) cut gemstones as a hobby...I now have all his equipment, but like anything, it will take me years to become any good at it......

I just bought my Serti dial on EBay and had it installed. I’m working on a 5 digit sub with another one right now. If you look at their dials, they make their own, and you could probably just buy the 3 markers you need from them already made and ready to install.
