I'm curios what this beauty did cost you to build it :)

Amazing!

I can't really say because the insert would cost you 3.5k to 4.5k alone - I know it sounds crazy but GMT inserts are really collectible so unique colors will fetch crazy prices. The movement is about $3k to $3.5k. The Small GMT had runs 1-1.2k on VRF. So yeah I stopped counting a while ago. That being said, if you don't need gen everything you can get away with gen movement, a service gen insert, and really high quality parts on everything else and end up at 5.5k or so. Most of that is for the movement.

I don't have words for your builds. Honestly.

What camera setup are you using if I may ask? Looks kind of like an old nikkor fast 50 mm or similar in that range :)

Some people are so clever and skilled. My efforts only extend to buying reps and wearing them.

Absolutely no disputing that @TheSociety is " king of cool " like Steve MF'ing McQueen and fast company like Mr. Paul Newman.

Wish I could live up to their status. But I'm happy just wearing the watches named after them [emoji51]

Amazing modesty Bro. It's easy to measure your art due to level of positive attention you receive. Your turning an entire generation of Noob v8/v9/v22 seekers into appreciating the beauty of vintage pieces and their builds. Other BMs like myself check your threads daily for inspiration. Your a huge asset to this community and deserves the nomination of King Of Cool.

Hope this thread ends up as a sticky.

Been on the hunt for GMT specific parts to repair this beauty for almost 1.5 years... at one point a dealer told me he had just sold the part I so desperately needed a day prior.... I almost gave up, but got lucky eventually ;)

Stoked I can finally wear it again :) can't stop staring at those @dbane883 chamfers...
