Thx Laz!! Am not that sure that he will be thrilled, died about 8 months ago, but he always said that he was a simple guy, solid but simple. Hence the Submariner with no date. Solid and simple. PM me regarding purchase of a gen online, might be able to help. You can share that info with the rest of the board if it helps. Grtz

My wife recently inherited some money from her grandfather, it was almost enough to buy a used submariner. Grandpa used to work on a submarine, we thought it would be a good idea to honor him this way. Just closed the deal, 2400 Euro. Sorry for the lousy pics, don't have the watch yet. Was it a good deal? (very trustworthy seller, all papers, recently checked by biggest jeweler chain in the country. no service required)

Steinhart: Can't we make a steinhart group buy? Must be easy to get at least 10 here. I am waiting for a 44mm, blue hands, no branding on the dial, brown strap. brushed steel. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...80&start=80 see the jake48 post Maybe we can get some custom stuff or a rwg series... :-))

They are going nuts.. 1655 at an in flight.. that is an insult the should give it to me ,-)) but i want to fly cathay, need the chance to try it on .-))

Stunning review!!!!

hmm. UBI's daytona's Rob's 196 (name your price... :-)) ) Freddy's daytona's A jerry who bought the 3717 which i've been looking for since months.. (anyone plz!!, will be generous) but most of all repaustria's 1655, calling it the mona lisa would be an insult... to the watch

I shower with my gen gmt II, need to else I shower 30 minutes...

Arethese pvd coated movements? look brilliant

nigella, fully dressed she is still porn.. ehh ART...:-)

Euno, plz sell me one of your babies, most be boring all that great stuff :-)

put me on the list.. i am weak

hmm you guys do the trick as well :-)) Dial issue seems a major one.. I would want to upgrade to a close to perfect dial someday...

Positioning of the crown to the "units per hour" font of Rolex positioning of T swiss T looks all relatively minor, but am a noob we need ubi's opinion.

Serviced, by someone good. No huge flaws, accepting all gen parts and i am in

the lightning is FUGLY

OKi cool. i will not send it to Rolex for service without extra precautions, nor will i swap the dial and hands for luminova parts! Am very happy with the deal. Always a bit strange to take risks on so much money, but the risks payed out 2 times. BTW: I have bad eyesight and love my 2002 GMT II with luminova in bed at night.

Agreed But this one is not to be sold.. ever :-)

Thought so already, No relume possible i guess? I love being able to tell time in the dark, and my wife thinks it is cool as well.. :-) Toys... (btw hunted 6 months to get the right watch at the right time ...ehh price...-)

Buy the GMT II, done the same thing, buy it second hand from a trustworthy source. give yourself 6 months to find, have patience. GMT II will not loose value if you buy it used at a min30% dicount of the new price. Or buy an explorer II black dial, almost the same look but cheaper to source. Have fun hunting!

thx by -thor, coming from you that is a good sign. bought it without papers, well only copies, from a trustworthy source. Who had a receipt from his purchase, but not an AD . took the risk for around 1800 Euro. 1993, non AD service 1 year ago. bezel looks misaligned but that should be an easy fix. hoping for no more flaws...

the bezel

I bought this for my wife to thank her for giving me the best son in the world. (I AM objective here :-)) I have a slight problem with it but, but maybe I am seeing things that are not there. What do you think?

Damn am I lucky, my boss still loves her longines.. ehh yeah plain ss white dial longines .-)))) Wish you good luck
