Hah! I thought I was alone! Yes, did it with a 6309-7040 that I converted to a 7548 Pepsi mod. The clickball was gone, tried a thick gasket - awesomeness!

I’m with you guys...something about it screams assembled. Even if it is totally legit, that’s a ridiculous price. ..by about 4x plus.

Seiko has some really nice GMTs in the Grand Seiko series. Oh yes, I’m very familiar. I’m not new to Seiko, just haven’t been in the Seiko world for a while. I’m back! Haha Seiko has a lot of great everything, but when it comes to GMT watches, for me, nobody can touch Rolex.

To go off track a bit more, did anybody see the episode of the US version of Antiques Roadshow recently with the guy who had the Tiffany & Co co-branded Rolex GMT Master? He took it in to have it serviced at an official Rolex dealer and was told if Rolex serviced it they would remove the Tiffany branded dial and replace it with new. He wisely chose to preserve the watch as original and had it service elsewhere. Did not see that, but horror stories abound where vintage patina'd dials are confiscated by RSC and replaced with modern spare parts drawer dials, cutting value by 2/3 and gutting the owner. For the record, Rolex will always honor a customer’s directions as it relates to replacing parts. As long as it’s an original Rolex part, they will leave it as is, regardless of condition, if that’s what the owner wants. Tiffany dials were plain Rolex dials reprinted by Tiffany. They came with a Tiffany warranty, not Rolex. Essentially, they were mods, which is why Rolex would swap back the dial. Agree it sucks though. If someone doesn’t know what to do and just drops the watch off for service, it can be disastrous for a collector’s piece.

I think it’s cool...except for the damage to the “K”. I’d never do it, don’t want it, but I’ll give it a thumbs up.

If I recall, the one that ultimately got built had a tsunami logo on the dial. Logo was red I think?
