Rolex GMT Master II Carbon With Yellow Details

I know black rolex mods are not popular here but I thought this one might be an exception, I really like the touch of yellow. It's on ebay for $9900..

Also before anyone says it.. i highly doubt an AD or Rolex SS would service it.. but then again why use AD/Rolex $$ when there is Rick @ Timecareinc.

If ROLEX didn't make that dial that says ROLEX on it, then the dial is fake. Fake = counterfeit =

Plus it's butt-fugly.

Not to my taste and I would not spend my $$ on a "franken watch", but looks well executed.

I do think it demonstrates that there's some room within Rolex's traditional model range to provide some more variety .

I would love this watch, without the PVD coating. I fact I think the dial and hand option would look fantastic without the PVD!!!

If you like that look, just get this, coming soon from Ball, including their new SpringLOCK shock system.

Novelty would wear off faster than the 'respray' I think.

Such a lovely font they chose to print with, really classes it up, but not as much as spellinf Exclusive as Xclusive. Ya know when you spend 10 grand, ya want some sassiness.

I like the textured dial and the yellow accents but the "mad xclusive series" has got to go.

I am all for customizing a Rolex. Red Second Hand on a Sub, or Blue Insert, but this is crazy. I someone handed this watch to me, and saw the back of it, I would assume they purchased it from a Chinese Counterfeit Operation!

I have no issue with mods. This one does nothing for me, however.
