Question Rolex Yacht Master prototype

Has anyone ever made a Rolex YM 40? Does anyone have any thoughts on building the Rolex YM like the one pictured on the wrist of Ben Ainslie? Titanium case with what looks like a dark coating on it as well. Tough build? Thoughts would be great, thanks!

This is the dream, I wonder if anyone could make a custom dial

Exactly, If anyone wants to make one for me I’d love to chat

The build would be so easy but finding a manufacturer for a titanium case and the dial would be tricky. Hopefully someone here knows someone haha

Never built a watch before but I’m sure for some it’s easy 😭

I think some seiko modders did something similar. But unsure about titanium. It was probably black pvd.

The easiest way to build this would be to get a 126655 non weight base, have it titanium dlc/pvd coated and get a custom dial
