Sweet!

How much you selling it for?
If not selling will you make me one?
If not, do you have the parts?

Love how the pictures tell the story.

It certainly puts things in perspective for me. That there is very little difference between a GMT Master and an Explorer II.
You only need one in the collection. To buy multiple in various bezel combinations would be, in effect, like buying duplicates.

Put those two, side by side.

That’s pretty awesome work. Looks great.

I’m a bit conflicted though with watching the 1675 become no more.

I want to do one myself. Maybe I'll ask Jocke to walk me through it every step o the way. Maybe a Zoom call...
