Fantastic pictures as always. That was a really good read, and I'm flattered that you included a picture of my watch and remembered the write-up I did on diving with plexi subs.
Thanks for sharing

Amazing post! I know that so much of vintage value is in original parts...but man, that new-looking 1675 is a thing of beauty. Congrats on everything.

Very cool story. I'm hard pressed to disagree with you. You have a Pepsi GMT Master that qualifies as the "beater" of the trio, the white gold Sub which I would qualify as the daily piece, and the JLC for more formal occasions. Great photos.

OP - quick question - did you get the crystal and/or cyclops replaced on your 116613? It seems that the mag changed from lower to higher mag in your pics. I heard of numerous ones shipping from Rolex with a lower mag. Just curious.
thanks |

Great post and I enjoyed the journey and photos. Your MUT moon phase phase reignited my itch for this watch again. :)
