Those are P-shop jobs, but the guy really did it to his watch, here's an actual unretouched pic:

Im toying with the idea of buying a 116610 and buying a spare sub dial and redo the dial so that the submariner is in red. i think that would stand out nice with the ceramic black.

I am loving the GMT on the Super Jubilee. My Grail is a root beer GMT TT with a Jubileee.

Yes sir! It was a tragic night last night mixing alcohol and a bunch of folks that like to joke around can turn out bad, however, all parties are safe I thought about putting the YM2 bezel on my GMT at one point, however, this is not technically possible... I was going to post the full story on how this happened, however, I was ask to keep this guitarist/singers name private.

i think that is abit harsh to say that it has fake parts. as long as all parts are from rolex, then i dont see anything wrong (other than it is modified!)
