Looks great!

Runnin' Rebel · 4 November 2015, 05:52 PM

This was sweet. Your proof could be right here in this thread. Print the whole thread out and save it. If you see a black date wheel for sale here maybe you should grab it, you'll have the whole package. I'd never send that back to the RSC. Use one of the CW21 watch repairs guys on here like Vanessa or Tom Doan both in California.

Big error from RSC.

You caught a Unicorn !

There are people out there that have to pay for this mod and you get it done for free by Rolex. I say this is a keeper now since it's unique and have a great story to go along with it.

MTROIS · 4 November 2015, 09:48 PM

Tech was color blind... Or they were working on a gold one at the same time... Or...

Well, doesn't matter!! What good luck for you. A very unique and original model!!!

I think it looks great!

Toolguy · 5 November 2015, 12:43 AM

I can understand the conflict..very nice color upgrade..performed by rsc and with oem equipment..but does take away from being 100% stock....tough tough call which only the owner can decide...id probably first start with a call to rsc and discuss the color change with them...get it on record and then make a decision

Done! Green until next service.

RSC has mistake on record.

They are. I've had 3 replaced and it was never mentioned in the paperwork. It's considered a functional part of the movement.

Avoid RSC from this point on and let the patina build to give character to your watch by using an independent next time.

Makes me wonder if maybe this one is the "New Normal" regarding the date wheels for GMT's? I would love that! Do not ever change it back. It looks great...

tkc324 · 5 November 2015, 04:40 AM

Absolutely keep the green wheel... looks incredible...

zion_rasta · 5 November 2015, 06:25 AM

It is amazing how such a small detail, like a green date, makes on a watch.

Looks 80% better, it certainly looks like a different watch.

This. You have to tell them if you want to keep your original, if it's open 6/9 for example. It's included in the service price so they don't bother to mention it with the quote.

Personally, I like the green date wheel, however, I think Rolex purposely just uses it as an exclusive for their YG model with black dial. Too bad.

Reminds me of Jocke's triple red Yacht-Master. Yours can be the triple green GMT Master II.

kirksingleton · 5 November 2015, 08:53 AM

I think it looks great, especially because it is a oem mod!

Never thought of it that way. The triple green GMT.... TG-GMT

I think we are onto something. Triple Green, baby!

Love this. I am going to have this done as soon as i get my all black GMT Master II. Does anyone know a place to buy the green date disc? Thanks.

marc12 · 25 April 2020, 11:37 PM

Very cool, maybe an indication of new model GMT coming out with green date wheel and/or green bezel/dial hmmm

lamnyc · 26 April 2020, 02:03 AM

I would keep the email in a safe place and source another black date wheel. Keep the green on, it’s really cool.

Spikedlee · 26 April 2020, 02:14 AM

damn that is AWESOME

now I am wondering in 5 years if all the disassembly and reassembly to change back the wheel would count as a free inspection schedule service ?

5 years later, here we are.
