I'm with kramerica today.

What a great review & replication! The AR doesn't seem to be that great though... it was blue on the old PO, maybe it has changed?

I have to add this to the Omega Guide.

PS: Does anyone know if someone reviewed the PloProf at some point? I'd like to add that as well.

WM9 v1 bracelet & SELs were excellent.

A classic rep for sure... and a great, great rep still... even by today's nihilistic standards.

A trip back to memory lane.

Steel Sub.

GMT today.

No. That watch looks good otherwise but has a terrible "wok" rehaut.

WM9 was the best no doubt.

But I'd ask bklm1234 if this was still available. This was the second best 16613 rep ever, imho.

Why do you even question it?

It looks all okay to me.

Sorry for the late reply.

I have no idea about the current reps as I don't have time to follow the scene that much. But I guess it's pretty safe to say BK always has the best stuff. I wouldn't buy Rollie reps from anyone else.

Cheers.

This is an amazing compositon. Too bad this great band never got the respect it deserved.

Ok... let me show you what's fundamentally wrong on these Chinese Rolex reps.

There's ZERO "front crystal thickness" or whatever we should call it. BK can probably explain.

Look at the red marked area on the gen. It's very essential look on all Rolexes from this era. It's thick and very noticeable.

Then look at the rep. Even if you could somehow straighten the "wok" you still wouldn't have any thickness there.

This area was especially thick on the old Sea Dweller. I mean the real Dweller, not the new ugly & embarrassing Deepsea. The rep had almost ZERO thickness there.

Thus, the rep (SSD) looked completely different from the front view. So does this replication of 16710.

The only good alternative is to build it from different parts. The old Noob version was MUCH better & had this crystal issue covered pretty good (although didn't look all correct, either).

Case is ok, cg's ok, crown is ok but other than that, it looks wrong in so many ways. Wok rehaut shape is the worst thing.

Stay away.

PS: JoeyB is right. There has never been a GMT 16710 with the ROLEXROLEX engraving. Apparently they can't even get the basics right. The sad thing is, they don't even bother to ask questions from the people WHO KNOW.

I'm wanting to pick up a GMT Master II (non-ceramic) with coke or pepsi bezel. The newest models from the TD's finally have superlume which is what I've been waiting for. But my question is.....How are they?

I have no idea.

Do you have pictures... or a link or something similar?

That would help to make a statement.

I watched this when it was originally aired... back in the late 80's.

This episode is just friggin' NUTS.

I think the MBK version of 16710 was the same as the "TW Best" version. Look here.

Definitely not very accurate OTB but a good base for mods.

Great shots.

I'm a big Omega fan but nothing beats the classic steel Sub.

Fish.

Wow that's a beautiful Patek. Nice to see you Ubi.

I'm wearing this old favorite of mine.

<p>GREAT shots. Great watches. I esp. love the no-date Sub. </p>

He was my ALL time favourite F1 driver ever!!! I use to follow F1 the years he was active after he quited i never watched it again! Love when he and Damon Hill was head to head in every race good old times!!!

Thanka for posting B, i never saw this now im glad i did!!!

I agree. But actually most of his battles were against Schumacher. When Hill was driving for Williams, Hakkinen was driving an uncompetitive car.

They even did this commercial together.
