So. Awesome.

Sorry I am personally not a fan of using any parts that are not 100% genuine Rolex... With that said, here is mine again, this time with the red date as well

Agreed.

The red date looks great! It's making me want to go for the ceramic model.

AK797 - Are you asking me to remove my bezel from my watch or the post about the bezel? Some one has already deleted the post, Iam assuming an admin.

If I want to put an aftermarket bezel, strap, or even any part onto a watch I own, that's my business. But Iam guessing posting about it here on the Rolex Forums is frowned on.

It looks as if an admin has already deleted anything to do with my post. So there is no picture to be removed. I never though installing an aftermarket bezel insert into my GMT would cause such a stir. Iam sure Iam not the first one to post pictures of there aftermarket parts on their Rolex watches..

I guess "lesson learned" about what will be tolerated here on the Rolex Forms.

Well that's what I intend to try out as I'm still waiting for the blue with silver fonts to arrive.

Love this thread.

The total extent of my modifications so far are putting a 67200 glidelock bracelet onto a 16710 GMT master II which I love.

Does anybody have any pics to share of a two tone watch head on a stainless bracelet please? Reason I ask is that I am considering getting my 2nd Rolex and am thinking about a 16613 (either blue or serti face) and wearing this with the glidelock in rotation.

Love to see some pics if anyone has any...
Thanks in advance
Ste

Nice thread this one, just got my GMTcTT back with green date wheel, inspired by Jiff and with thanks to ViperB. In addition I fitted a see through case back from Thomas Preik.
I am happy with it
