Blaken GMT

Looks like Blaken has taken an 116710 and given it the vintage treatment. I think it looks pretty sweet.

It bothers me a little that the dial says GMT-Master. That's a different model; this is a GMT-Master II!

I'd take one. Even if not conventional. Love that dial.

Absolutely love it. If I could I'd buy two, but I bet just one breaks the bank(for me at least).

Very interesting stuff, not all of which I like. The Submariner with an Explorer dial is quite interesting, good or bad.

Wow... Not a fan of these modded Rolex watches, but I have to admit that Blaken is doing a killer job and has me reconsidering!

Solid design and execution. These usually run double retail plus a little more on top.
I'm sure it's at least $14k.

I was going to order the Explorer Sub they did but they could not do it with the 116600 bezel inlay on it. Thought this was pretty poor from a supposedly "custom" watch company.

I'm all for mods but this looks all wrong to me - an unsuccessful hybrid.
