I'm not really a Rolex guy, but if I had a shot at one -- this one would do it. Very nice!

One of my favorite watches - truly representing Rolex's push further into cementing the brand as the ultimate divers tool watch.

Thanks bro! It's the heart and soul of the watch - I'm obsessed with using only vintage parts to build stuff - at some point, whats even rep anymore?
I build by myself, and the DWO print by myself too. I love yodog's 6542, definitely let him build build for me.

even better! wow thats awesome bro, love the DWO!! Ive been wanting to build one of those but I need a gen blueberry insert. But those are impossible to find. I have a Gen all red gmt hand already...ugh I want that watch! haha
Had a fun discussion with my friend @Hugop regarding date wheel fonts!
Here is a Gen flat top 3, open 6, 9 date disc in shimmery white/silver (or what some rep factories make in normal silver color which is not correct!)
Here is a gen 1675 caliber 1575 GMT movement - this is correct for early early GMT (the ones with PCG - pointed crown guard) to have hooked 7 and closed 6, 9 and in white! Very rare!
It doesn't just tell time. It tells history.

Yeah I have considered the gen insert, but it is too rare. So I go for high quality aftermarket with correct font insert.

Got a link bro? I see a lot of hooked 2s (top of the two hangs over the bottom) but never seen a serif Blueberry rep!
