@Epoch : How is the AR on the version you got ??? Thanks

@montydog: Can you tell how the AR is on this. Dealer is claiming that AR is excellent ..... but does not say Double AR. Can you tell if there is any AR , single or double on it ??? Thanks

Dont know if others have faced a similar issue ...... burt here is mine. I am nuts for GMT watches and the top of my list is the RX EXP II white. Finally managed to get one with correct bezel , good date font, long GMT hand, correct GMT hand stack .... and most important , "blackish" rings around the (white) hour dots. Too good to be true. ..... the movemnt inside , is a 2836-2 modified. First watch comes and after few dates of testing , the resuls are: - very hard winding - GMT hand and hour hand not synchronized (no way to get them synchronized). - when 12 o'clock or 6:30 where the hour and min hand should completely overlap ... they do not. Hour hand always points few mins before (as an example: when X o'clock the hour hand does not point right on the dot .... it points a 2mm distance before !!!) That's because the whole damn movement is geared based on the GMT hand and the hour hand acts as a secondary one. ..... any way , watch goes back to the dealer for fixing and servicing (free of charge). Watch comes back ..... same problems again. Waist of money (shipping cost) and time. Dealer sends a brand new watch. New Watch received yesterday. ..... exactly the same problems again. Watch will go back again. Dont know if its only me having that great luck ..., cant tell if the problem is due to the "correct stack up" of the GMT hand , or is the modified movement by itself or all the three things together ..... but, I AM DONE WITH THE 2836-2 MODIFIED !!!!!! :bann: Note: I will not reveal the dealer .... in any case is not his fault (2836-2 mod is just a crappy movement). As you can see, his whole attitude, service and after sales support was really great.

Where , where ???? ...got it. 2893-2 is the best GMT movement by far.

RX EXP II white: not a bad rep ... (Paul has 3 versions of it) though ..... not one of the the best. The best so far, comes only from Angus (better blacks rings around the dots, long GMT hand and correct GMT hand setup)..... more expensive than Paul's though about 50-60 USD more. After Angus , is EL etc.... with a good version but wrong date font. ...... though all of them (Paul's , Angus, EL , etc....) suffer from the 2836-2 modified. Not a very eliable movement. 2893-2 is the best for GMT .... more expensive ..... and not any RX-EXP-II on the horizon with it in.

Thanks for the reply b16 ....... nice strap .... 100 USD (incl shipping cost) though. If I cannot find a rep one ..... then I am afraid that the gen is the only alt I have. Cheers AMK000

As the title says : Does anybody knows where I can find a Breitling black rubber band (rep) to fit the new Superocean Steelfish ??? Any dealers that may have them ??? This is a pic of what I am looking: This is to show the band (not the watch) Thanks AMK000

Good luck and smooth riding. It's a noble cause.

2893-2 is more aexpensive and more reliable. 2836-2 modified is cheapper and GMT might work or may not.

Nice gesture Ubi

EMS ... not good for me either. Just had a swiss PO held by Spanish customs.

Damn , ..... I love Athens ..... but Iam only there for the summer.

Amazing work. Mirror is broken and dials revealed. I never really understood why the CHN manufacturers dont put any AT on their watches (...other than price of course).

This watch only worths with a strong double AR ..... otherwise is a like a true mirror ... not worthing, belive me.

There are already out black dial chopards with black date and asia 21J at 100 USD. Can tell you that I had more 7750 broken than asia 21j movements.

Yes ... UBI is great .... but are you guys are in love ?????

I love this watch.

I own one. Got it from Jos.

Forget it. I found it myself. Jos has it .... but what he labelling as a PAM 162 .... is a pure fantasy and very far from being a 162. Blue subdials ??? ...... Gen has black-grey subdials.

Who has the 162 .... black dial , grey-black subdials ????? never saw a rep of it !!!!!

There are som many great looking PAMs yet to be build ..... Who knows , may be one day the PAM era will come back again and they make them ..... I wish.
