Pretty incredible stuff! Your wallet must have been screaming after that build was done! What's the specs on the TT gmt?

My wallet and PayPal was groaning everytime I bought a new part... But I don't mind spending on this Franken because of the Franken % vs gen price.

Bulk of the value of the gen is in the real gold case so am just happy to have a gold wrapped case that is correct colour for this piece. If I did the same build but for the 116710LN ss with a gen movement it probably would not have been worth it IMO as price would have been close to gen price...

Two tone gmt specs (I put a thread up about it maybe 3 months ago also):

Gen parts: Gen dial, gen 18k hands, gen insert, gen 18k bezel assembly, gen datewheel, gen 18k two tone GMT2 bracelet.

Rep parts: Yuki hybrid CHS serviced movement, noob crystal (had a gen crystal in there but it had crappy mag so I changed it until I can get another crystal), noob gold wrapped crown, noob case (from gold wrapped version).
