502t endlinks for GMT Master II ! Love the look of it on a jubilee, blings it up very nicely

Mine from @johnnydepp, gen dial and hands with a Tag Heuer El Primero not converted.

Been kicking myself that I should have bought this as a gen before it went up. Been wanting this since I was 12

Nice! Good job by @johnnydepp to get the gen hands on the stock El Primero. I'd like to better understand how that is done... I thought the stock El Primero didn't accept gen hands ???

It does, they need modding though.

No you need to convert with Rolex 4030 parts.

Looks great on a Jubilee. Different!! Thanks for the info I may try it.

There’s some specimen on sale in the forum every now and then, with no buyers. I swear if people were more in the know about this combo, the price of this specific piece wpuld skyrocket as there’s no rep of the 502T endlink.

Hey gents, picked up this gen case and would really appreciate your opinion on if it is in fact gen? It’s definitely been polished, which I’m fine with. Thank you!
