Man, if TC could produce a killer 16710 pepsi with this level of dial quality that would be amazing. Misiekped can modify a Y3135 into a gen functionality 3185!! He has done it for himself with his GMTIIC franken build and has issued some quotes to other members. Put that into the TC with a gen insert and you would have the absolute perfect 16710. Maybe gen hands would be needed, but maybe not.Rjk1, I asked him the same question the last time I was emailing him. He said he was working on the YM. I told him the last generation GMT not the ceramic. He said one thing at a time. I told him that I would help, I'm retired and bored. LOL. I left that out. LOL. I would love to source parts and case makers and what ever. Point me in the right direction I get them. OMG would I love a TC made GMT II pepsi. Holy shit. The quality of a TC build. I already have one that I had a Gen ETA 2836-2 and a Gen Rolex crystal and even thought I messed up the watch and had to have a watchmaker fix it, I did a Gen tube and crown. Can't wait for that day
I also PM'ed him to buy one. He probably has a list of 15 people already.

That's right! Thanks for reminding me. I completely forgot that this was you! I remember reading that thread when you posted about it. I was blown away by it. Are you still happy with it after you've had it for this time?Mendota he has done it for me. I had him build me a 116710 for me. Everything Rolex but the case band and it has a hybrid Yuki/rolex 3185. He did an amazing job. When he serviced my gen 3135 and built me my sub 16610 I had him take my TC 16610LV and take a yuki 3135 and he made the Yuki movement amazing by changing all the things that go wrong with the yuki, using gen rolex parts. At the time he just built his gmt and was showing it to me. I wanted it in the worst way so he had me start buying the parts. I brought everything. You can read all about all the builds. http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/215568-The-perfect-16610?highlight=occb2
If you just want to read about the GMT it is at the end. Great reading.
One thing worth mentioning is, to pad print on an uneven surface, like the platinum Yacht-Master 16622's dial, and still produce the raised printed text is a lost art. I'm very happy my British friend mastered this lost art.
Gotta go check and see if this dial would fit the prior TC FYM...
