What is best a custom Rolex or a Rolex that is stuck in custom?

Buy a professional camera and you´re a professional

I saw one of these in Princeton last week. Service hands and bracelet. First time I held one, but 22 grand knocked my socks off. I handed it back, seemed a bit steep for service hand and bracelet.

The hands on the original are Mercedes.
I think the GMT hand is from the new 42mm version, this appears to be the smaller.

Plus I also think the bezel might be different?

Not quite. It's a 1675 case with 1655 service hands, dial and bezel.

It started out as a TT GMT and was reborn an Explorer II.

Where's the mob braying for tarring and feathering and then burning at the stakes for perpetrating this monstrosity on the forum.



By the way I like it but do wonder at the double standards.

The mob has given me up a long time ago. You can't beat a dead horse.

The hands on an original 1655 were not Mercedes just to clarify.
