  1. What a stupid moronic guy you are. You should be banned for the sake of intelligent people. Stop polluting around please.
  2. Great ! That's some information. I think it would be useful if I can post some pictures of the Full Ceramic version. There is one thing which is sure, the ceramic version bezel number iis a LOT darker than the v1.0, non full ceramic version. Keep you posted! If anyone has any idea of how to swap the cyclops, let us know ! Cheers. K. {EDIT} BTW I have bought my GMT IIC from PT. Swiss ETA ICHS. Full Ceramic.
  3. Dear RWGers, I am sorry in advance if this thread is going to find yourself in total exasperation of finding another thread on this popular GMT. I have got my GMT IIC full ceramic incorrect hand stack from PT back in November last year and have been wearing almost every day. To be honest, I am greatly satisfied with it an I think it is a beautiful product.... Until I have read the review from Youpmelone: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=89823 (thanks Youpmelone for putting a face to face review) You just got that Rep which seems just great. Sturdy, beautiful, different, functioning and functional... Until somebody just points out that it is not quite as perfect as it should be (i.e as 1:1 as it may have seen at first) I thought it wouldbe a GREAT idea if we can gather some how-to's/tuts between GMT IIC on how to mod it to make the beauty even more... perfect. So I have noted few points which definitely needs modding (thanks to Youpmelone): - the bracelets, crown HURT: yes you've read right, without a good sanding of the edge of the bracelet, the GMT IIC feels like a razor on your skin. - The AR is unpresent: never dealt with AR since Chief is not in EU... does somebody know? - The bezel numbers are way too gray. I was thinking of repaint it but which colour is the gen? a colour correspondance with famous paint brand for model kits such as Humbrol would be appreciated. Anyone? - The SEL: a bit off, but how can we mod it? - The usual Crown Guard shaving - The colouring on the clasp: matt black? Gloss black? which one? - the brushed effect on the bracelet: The links (except the mid part) is supposed to be brushed like the other sport models from Rollie. However on this one, the brushed effect seems not pronounced enough. Right... on your scotch bright??!! What' the best way? If some of you are interested in helping me out in this project, contact me Let's gather as much info as we can ! Cheers for your time. K.
  4. Hi Lads, I have just received a GMTiIC full ceramic bezel ETA from PT. Although the Rep looks REALLY close to the Gen (on the various pictures on the internet), it seems that the bezel is too light coloured. Can someone confirm that the GEN ceremic bezel is BLACK as opposed to dark gray (like the J12) like on the Rep? does anybody have a picture of the gen in many angles? I have tried to look for it in many dealers but I have not managed to find the GMTIIC... Thanks in advance for your help.
  5. I have received the GMT II C Full ceramic yesterday. .. .. .. Is it just me or the bezel is not what it suppose to be? It is not black but a very shiny (almost mirror like) gun metal colour.... #Is it the way it supposed to be?
  6. Thanks for the pics. Is it just me or the insert looks jagged.... again?
  7. Hi Guys, I have ben informed that a "FULL" Ceramic version has been released for slightly more. Have anyone got it? I would like ot know if the engravings are the same quality... I will get one soon so keep tuned ! K.
  8. Wohoho ! I was just going to order it from PT. WHAT WHAT WHAT? The mag is off centered an the crystal comes off?! Ouch I might need ot reconsider that then....
  9. Thanks Mate! I will go straight ahead to order it!.. BUT how is the lume of the pearl? Now... the Relume... is it a difficult process or so difficult that it may be better to get it done by someone? Cheers guys !
  10. Hi Lads and Ladettes, I am a proud owner of the SSD V2.0 unmodded. The watch keeps great time and I am really happy with it... BUT the insert started to gets some scratches because it sits a bit above the edge of the bezel... which is a common problem on the rep sports rollies... not even mentionning the pearl which is near to a "dot" rather than a "pearl"... on which the lume is... HORRENDOUS. The dial's lume is yuk as the hands... So I am going to order a insert/pearl at Watchmaterials... is it the one for the seadweller which fits or the submariner? How is the lume on the pearl from Watchmaterials? Ok now the lume for the hands and the dial? What is the option offered to me? I live in the UK and I have heard that you could get it relumed... or replace the dial and hands... What are the options offered to me to make this SSD looks beautiful than it already is??? Thanks ofr the inputs, I appreciate !
  11. Welcome mate, Whereabouts in the UK are you from?
  12. IHS and CHS, what is the right order of the hands? Does PT sell CHS ETAs? And how does the Ceramic feel like? Is it ceramic or just a piece of plastic?
