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.
