Nice. I considered breaking out the gmt today too. I really like the orange accents on that a lot.

 

 

Whoops I quoted the wrong post.

It was mainly the blue to black transition that made me think it might be Gen because in the gmt reps I've seen, the transition point always seems to be off. But thay looks pretty good. The inlay color was a secondary characteristic. I'm not big in Rolex GMT's though. Overall looks pretty good.

Yeah, it's pretty good I reckon. You can still see a bit of a bump in the '6' if you look closely (although you don't see it in real life, only in photos). I'm quite a fan of the GMF.

I know exactly what you mean. If it wasn't for macro photos, I'd probably have no clue about my watch's flaws. I don't know what's better, knowing or not knowing.

I zoomed in to look at the "bump" and when you do you can kind of see the paint on the inlay. That'd pretty smooth though. You did a good job. I'll have to see if I'm courageous enough to try. I'm trying to hold insert that is close enough in color to powder coat. That's a tough order though.

I don't know what it is about the gmt master that doesn't do it for me. Especially because I love Rolex and really like GMT's. I think it is just all the hype and popularity that makes me talk myself out of it.

It's not all paint modded. I did try, but the paint mod made the bumps in the 6 and 18 look bigger, plus the triangle was worse too so I cleaned those three out and just left paint in the rest of the numbers.

You don't need to be brave to try. The Molotow paint wipes of very easily with methylated spirits of you don't like the result.

Well if it is pissing down over there like it is here, then I have to say you might want to take a psychiatric evaluation and rather quickly too.
