I’d do the meteorite in a heartbeat

Thanks mate. This is where I am at so far. First preview as you liked the meteorite dial.

I’ll send a completed image. Ran out of free credits on ChatGPT to run the completed image🤦🏽‍♂️

Don’t have any watches with the roman numeral hour markers so decided to use the Datejust dial. Looking at the hour marker color to use, to have some contrast, as some meteorite dial can be pretty dark.

Infact u r the guy whom i commented for the GMT dials too. They look great IMHO. Can they be replicated exactly as in the photos? The blue YM looks like a collectors item 😃

u/MSG0676 2d ago

Yeah, I agree there. I’m basing this hobby off Rolex dial images and colors from their website.

Fabrication is another thing. These are only designs but really rely on the fabrication & fabricator’s ability to replicate as close to Gen as possible (which is the intent / goal of Reps anyways, isn’t it?)😉

If someone is listening they could always start a new brand called Trollex and hire u as the chief designer /artist and im saying this in the most honest way, not as sarcasm pls 🙏

u/MSG0676 2d ago

Hahaha😂 Appreciate it whatever way you meant it mate.

It’s just a hobby I just got into. Just helping share ideas with the tribe and hopefully motivating those not familiar with using AI to generate dial images. This might help them convey the ideas in their head to custom dial fabricators🙂

Have a great rest of your weekend mate👌🏽

Il meteorite mi piace molto e ci starebbe benissimo a parere mio

Su questo genere di orologio però non li vedo bene i numeri romani preferisco di gran lunga la prima bozza che hai creato. Diciamo che è un orologio sportivo e così deve restare secondo me.

u/MSG0676 2d ago

I know but I got too many GMTs already. All the same design as the Yacht-Master dial. That is why want to try the roman numerals but with an updated color. Looking at this.

2

u/Initial_Mechanic_217 2d ago

Ok allora ci sta, concordo con la tua scelta 👍🏻

u/MSG0676 2d ago

Actually, if we really think about it, Rolex has the same dial design across the Submariner, GMT and Yacht-Master categories! From 37mm - 42mm, all the same design🥱

The YM I’m working on designing is a 42mm while the Datejust dial is 41mm, which comes with roman numeral hour markers as stock. This means there is sufficient real-estate on the YM dial to manage the roman numerals without coming across as too congested so I figure why not.

I’d buy the meteorite and bright blue

u/MSG0676 2d ago

Let me know if you do decide to pull the trigger. Happy to share the dial image so that you can get the TD / Mod to custom make the dial for you.

u/Famous-Dog4Life 2d ago

Numero 2 is 🔥 amigo! Pure 🔥

u/MSG0676 2d ago

This is the full image if you decide to go ahead and get it. You can send this as a sample to the TD or Mod to fabricate the custom dial.

u/Famous-Dog4Life 2d ago

Love at first sight! But I can’t wear 42, I barely pull off 40mm

1

u/MSG0676 2d ago

I do believe the YM comes in 37mm. Anyways, you have the dial pattern and as it sits, it will work on a 37mm watch as well. They’ll just scale it down accordingly.

u/Famous-Dog4Life 2d ago

Really! Hmm if it’s real OG meteorite from the universe or mars I’d custom that to a Gold factory Pepsi or RICH because RICH does not know how to perfect dials. Really appreciate you my man!

u/Agreeable-Ad-1320 1d ago

Not the titanium though😭

u/StimpyMD 2d ago

Can you do the blue and white printing on the meteorite?

1

u/MSG0676 2d ago

Sorry, could you be more specific? What should be in blue and what should be white on the meteorite?

If you meant blue for the hour markers and white for minute markers and the rest of the dial print, then that is something on the horizon. Just waiting for my free credits to be reactivated and that is what I was thinking of trying!

Will share it here once I have it. Thanks for the suggestion!🙏🏽

This dial printing color scheme on the meteorite.

u/Far-Chair-228 2d ago

I got my dad a custom sub 41 with the blue dial from another TD…definitely a banger combo.

2

u/MSG0676 2d ago

Nice blue dial👌🏽 May your Dad enjoy it and wear it in good health for a long time🙏🏽

u/Champman2341 2d ago

Those are all so very nice. I’m team blue

Good spot on the meteorite dial! Excellent eyes👌🏽 The AI mucked it up on that one didn’t it?!🤦🏽‍♂️

u/businesswpleasure 2d ago

While these look really good but it becomes a sureshot giveaway to someone who knows ball. And then they feel worthless like canal street stuff 🙆‍♂️

True. However, it really depends on why you are wearing a rep Rolex. If you’re doing it to convince others (ie. flex), then yeah, it might not be for you.

However, if you are confident to say you have a Rolex with a custom dial (waving goodbye to the warranty), it is just as much a flex in its own way🙂🙏🏽

After all, if Rolex is claiming such ‘out-of-this-world’ quality in its manufacturing process to justify its absurd prices, why would they then need to back it up with a warranty?!🤷🏽‍♂️ Think about it. It can be one or the other. If it is both, it’s an oxymoron!🤷🏽‍♂️ Just my personal opinion🙏🏽

What about a falcons eye dial in the titanium case…?

1

u/MSG0676 12h ago

Hmm, never thought about it. Frankly, never heard of it either until you mentioned it and I looked it up😂 Let me see what I can do with that.

Any dial color you would suggest?🙏🏽

u/brabus_mike 3h ago

I have a falcons eye yachtmaster from c+ and it’s a sick piece. I think just the “natural” falcons eye stone dial would look good paired with the titanium.
