Hmmm.... you know the difference between you and me?
You can take nice pictures of your watches while I can't... :Cheers:

Nice watch and interesting to see it on a leather strap instead of the more traditional metal bracelet. Nice photography as well. Care to share the settings?
-
IIRC, iso3200, f2.8, 1/10 sec.
Re: the oyster bracelet, I'm trying for a more discreet look...
Next to try the original coke bezel with faded red that I bought.

I like the look of the leather on the GMTII.

Weird ... but maybe it will work after the insert is fitted. ;D

bro, wat is the cost of bezel? expensive?
-
Rm300...
-
Rm300...
ori or after market?
-
AFAIK original, there are many cheap ones on ebay but they all look new, there don't seem to be imitation faded/vintage bezel inserts on the market.
-
May know where to get this strap,
Like it very much.
Is it original 22mm or you have to cut to suit rolex lug
-
Hirsch 20mm, can't remember the model name. Bought it when I was living in Switzerland.
Also tried with 22mm Dimodell Chronossimo but it looks too wide for this watch.
-
bro im so inlove!!! I almost always wear black that would fit me so well... gaaaah now 3 must have watches

I believe there are bezel inserts which have been "artificially + intentionally" faded floating in the market and I believe they tend to sell at a premium. These are achieved by bathing a new bezel (whether original Rolex or not) in mild chlorox (as we all learnt in our science classes, aluminum is highly reactive with acid). This means that both the front and reverse of the insert are faded, whereas if the insert carries a natural fading, only the front will show the fading. I remember there is a write up in VRF on this, maybe you can do a search.

Yup.
At rm300, if it is authentic, i think it's a good buy.
Brand new service insert costs rm450.
Aftermarket ones cost between 100-200 depending on where you buy.
And tropical original bezel inserts carries quite a premium.
Best is to have it checked at an AD.
-
but now if you go to the rolex services center to change the bezel, still able change the coke/pepsi color even that yours in black 1?
i means that if your gmt is black, that's only able to change the black bezel to you right?
they're not allowed you to change another color bezel anymore
-
Thanks for the info, I've seen some internet posts on bezels. FWIW the back of my bezel insert is dark.
-
mouth watering...
-
did u use macro setting to shoot your watch??...cheers
-
Yes, I did.

Trying on a new strap...
(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7088/7260238854_edaa1d1663_c.jpg)
Black leather nato from ebay seller watchesu571. Had to use thinner strap pins as the strap is too thick to be used with standard Rolex pins.
On my wrist...

The leather look awesome. Wonder if any leather suit the Green Bezel black dial sub? Anyone has it? :D
-
The back leather strap looks awesome. :thumbsup:
-
Try doing a google image search or search the main international rolex forums for pics of LV Sub on straps?

Agreed.
Very matching, both the Bezel colour and the Alfa emblem.
Thanks for sharing the photos, nksyoon. :Cheers:
