as usual eBay has no clue and won't take it down. Report.

This guy went to the trouble of showing a rolex movement on a 116710 but the hand stack is incorrect (on the 3rd pic you can see clearly the GMT hands sits under the hour hand). What say you? http://www.ebay.com/itm/EXCELLENT-ROLEX-GMT-Master-II-Ceramic-Bezel-V-Series-Stainless-Watch-116710-/190690466001?#ht_727wt_1378

sorry, work got in the way and I'm not sure if/when I'll have time to do this run.

Interesting enough when you check his ebay id he hasn't sold anything over 350 Euros and even has a bad feedback for poor shipping and handling. No moonwatch for sale or any high value item for that matter.

I'm thinking about building a franken GMT II but finding the movement has been a challenge. Any pointers?

so any word on how to solve the blue cyclops AR? It really bugs me. I haven't heard from Chief. AR a cyclops is a tough job. Has anyone contacted Uwe to see if he can do it?

hands (check how they don't quite fit the CP), CG pin, the hands do not match the N series,

He listed this one, got removed and then relisted. Report this guy and maybe eBay will forget the fees and do the right thing.

Exactly. I had a brand new Omega that fogged after going down to 90 ft on a very cold lake. Omega serviced and repaired it at no cost to me but for a watch rated to 2000ft fogging is not really acceptable. If I'm planning to swim or dive with a rep I always inspect, replace, clean and grease every gasket. Never had a problem diving with any of them down to 120ft.

production is delayed. I'll update when I have more information.

My dealer said the flaws are being fixed. What's your source?

New batch from noob with corrected CP and lume (maybe crystal) coming out on the 18th.

The 243 is NOT like your 111, 005 etc. The most iconic part is the bezel which is completely wrong on the H (and no I'm not talking about 120 clicks vs 60). Just look at the pics in the review. The H CG is also wrong and can be spot a mile away. People get so hung up on lume but quite frankly that's not a big deal in everyday life. BTW The Zigmeister can fix the lume, who can fix the incorrect bezel format and CG?

with the current options the ideal 243 would be Case, crown and CG from Noob Crystal, dial and caseback from H movement and hands I'm still on the fence but leaning noob with polished CP.

I'd say the Noob seems like a prototype, not a finished model.

Excellent comparison. It seems like for now you need to get both to get a good one (the CG on Noob is out of this world though. The H lever is awful) Interesting enough Tony (asian7750) is not selling the noob yet. He's waiting for the fixes so I'm assuming it should come in a few weeks.

He seems to travel a lot. It should take a little time but I'm sure you'll be OK. If he said he would give you a refund, there's not reason to doubt that.

Not really familiar with the A-B series. My bad.

The black themes is as close as it gets with the rep.

you're right. missed the button@8.

it looks like the 288. The rep is exceptional.

I don't recognize the model. It's probably fantasy. I've never seen a 4 line in Titanium with sec@9. I've never heard of a B series titanium Luminor either. As for the movement that's an Asian (so no incabloc). So what's your question? If you are looking for a good Ti Luminor get one of the new 177M. http://puretimewatch.com/product/pam177-m-11-ultimate-edition-on-rubber-strap/

I can't see how this buckle can be any better than the rep.

with the wrong CP, bezel and CG I can't see how the H is better.
