Agreed 100%, Ubi.
What makes people think they can forget manner? Why? Just because this is a "virtual" community?
Appropriate gesture and language should be used at all time. We are communicating to fellow humans, not animals.
Great job, BK.
'Touch' makes a whole lot of difference.
BTW, did you happen to trim the inner CG case area / the case where the crown tube sits? Please see my post, I haven't got around to do it and thinking that it requires much manual touch and dexterity: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...mp;#entry488869
Nice work again!

Has anybody ever purchase it? Please share your comment if you don't mind.
Need help from PAM experts: is there perhaps any noticeable flaws judged by the picture?
Thanks in advance guys!
Cheers,
silvio
Cool comparison (pun intended :-) ).... Great post.
Regarding modding the endlink: I have done it to my SSD, but as the center link of the GMT is polished instead of brushed it might require extra careful works to make the polished finish flawless... a bit more difficult than finishing brushed endlink of the SSD (the brushed finish kind of hides the imperfections / uneven surface) but doable nevertheless.

You know this issue has been bugging me a lot: since known time the manufacturer has ever repped Rollie, they have never fix this issue once... even the high end quality ones such as WM9 or MBK. No one has ever made a correct Solid End Link in rep. ever.
And it also becomes an essential point where you can tell a rep from the gen. I guess it's kind of too trivial to be overlooked.
Anyway, Good luck modding yours and please post some pics if you can.
Thanks for sharing!
Another amazing review, Lani.
One question: as you noted "The Mirror finish to the bezel insert is excellent .. again IMO.. it appears to be made of glass as far as the reflection and when in the right lighting the bezel will appear silvery-gray ....".
Do you think that the bezel insert is of different material from the GMT IIc one?
I'm still weighing between the two. Have seen the gen and it's exactly like you described, looks grayish when hit with lights.
Many thanks for your effort!
Great to have you join us.
I'm sure your skills will be highly regarded and respected, if not more than in the gen community. You'll find that we craze technical meanderings equally if not more than the previous mostly ;-)
Have a great time here.
Fantastic review guys.
Lanikai, Andrew, DBR & Dave - many THANKS for your effort. I've been attracted to this particular piece and your review have been much helpful.
Staying in tune for part 2.
P.S.: Any QC dealer recommendations?
Cheers :-)
