Very nice! I would have left the green hand and green gmt letters on dial, just so it appears different. Very well done IMO.

Nicely done
Did you ask them how they removed your bezel and also put the new one on? I know ceramic could be an issue. Did the new one come with the silicone ring or did you reuse the one off the black bezel? I thought they are one time use? If their was an easy way to change bezels I honestly would pay the money to source a green LV ceramic bezel to swap now and then in my sub c. |

Honestly, that first pic of the GMT2LN on jubilee looks like the real star of the show. The lab-made BLRO is quite beautiful but I just couldn't live with knowing the "truth".
But yes, this seems like you had fun and enjoy what you've created. It's another more interesting aspect of this expensive hobby that has been consumed in recent years by scarcity and speculation. |

Looks like a 3 series BMW with a fake M3 badge on.
For the untrained eye, you'll be potentially cool and loaded. For the guy who knows a little about cars, he's just going to shake his head in disbelief. lol

I share your enthusiasm and glad you scored. But, isn´t this a no-no in rolex book ? maybe not you have made public the doers names so what is all this we hear about RSCs turning watches back to original and that original ruined parts must be returned to Rolex so they can be replaced etc etc ?

This sorta puts into perspective how much hype fuels the BLRO craze - all it really is is a bezel and a few other bits and bam! Its now the watch everyone wants. I know its not that simple but it really makes you wonder what drives this sort of craze. The human mind is truly an enigma!

Caus they try to look the same on the outside and are totally different on the inside.

Now the Pepsi is in SS I am OK with this mod with OEM parts. Well done to find a real bezel insert, probably harder than a SS Pepsi.

Looks good. Mike and Sal are great and we are lucky to have them in our backyard. If you look at Mike’s GMT, he also has a Pepsi bezel on his personal watch so it can be swapped if you gave access to a blue / red bezel.
