  1. Thank you for the interest, all!

    BTW, have you tried the new Aquaracer yet, I think it's one you might enjoy :)

    Oh yeah, I've been thinking about it. It's a great looker... but you know me, I love blue dials and the rep blue dial is absolutely NOTHING like the gen. It's totally off, and I'm not sure if the black one does it for me.

    Do you still have yours?

  2. Rolex also used 2 different font color on the black TT Sub insert numbers. The other is plain yellow like JoJo's watches, the other is metallic gold. Both are accurate, so there might be variation in fonts too.

    For example older GMT 16710's used the Sans Serif font but later they switched to standard Verdana/Arial.

  3. I have no idea about Hublots but what if the guy used pictures of 2 different watches (for whatever reason)?

    Ebay scammers use this a lot. A few pics of the fake, then a few other pics of the gen + accessories (pics stolen from another auction).

  4. I'm bad with numbers but I recall they're the same movement. They just installed a GMT hand to the ExpII and GMT Master. Like I said the old Rolex "GMT" movement is not a complication or a "GMT movement" at all, they just have another fixed hour hand that rotates 2x slower.

    Rotating bezel made old GMT Master a GMT watch. Old ExpII is not a GMT watch at all. The only purpose was to show if it's night or day. Only useful for the "cave dwellers" because they can't look out of the window. :D

  5. Wow... didn't know that the 24 hour hand on the 1575 is non-adjustable...

    Yes, the original ExpII is probably the most pretentious "tool watch" ever done. Designed for "cave dwellers who can instantly tell from their ExpII whether it's night or day."

    Technically it's the same as 1675 (which doesn't have adjustable 24h hand, either). You can use 1675 as a second timezone watch from the turning bezel. This (of course) doesn't work with ExpII which has a fixed bezel.

    Actually even the Chinese faux GMT movement is more complicated.
