mastergod Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I actually LOST a gen GMT II (at work) about eight years ago. This was during a zen phase in my life, so I just thought "let it go" Still have the receipt though. Fortunate for me, unfortunate for the insurance company...

clockwerkgoblin Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 I understand from By-tor's review that the ETA 2836-2 movement has the GMT hand moving in one hour increments. Is this the same for the 21j and Asian clone 2836-2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 I understand from By-tor's review that the ETA 2836-2 movement has the GMT hand moving in one hour increments. Is this the same for the 21j and Asian clone 2836-2? No, only the "time bomb" correct hand stack operates like the gen. The GMT hand doesn't move in 1 hour increments, only the HOUR HAND does. On CHS replica and genuine. Both operate similarly (except that rep has a quick set date, genuine doesn't). On the genuine the date can be set backwards as well, when you roll the hour hand counterclockwise. This doesn't work on the rep. GMT hand only moves smoothly along with the 12h hand, in half speed of course. GMT hand is not independently settable on ANY genuine Rolex watch. The old 1570/1575 movement (that was used in model 1675 aka GMT MASTER I plexiglass) didn't have settable GMT hand, either. GMT function was only operated from the rotating bezel. All other replica "GMT faux" movements have a smooth, independently settable GMT hand. It's not a GMT movement at all but the function is just as useful as on a real GMT watch (as long as you set the 24h hand correctly). Read this article, it explains it. It's a cheap bastardized Chinese "faux GMT" but I love the WHS ETA movement. Absolutely nothing wrong with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 This video shows how the GMT hand on a vintage GMT functions click me This video shows how the GMT hand on a modern GMT2 functions click me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clockwerkgoblin Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Thanks for replying and clarifying things, I was a bit unsure as to what you meant by the 'hour hand moves in one hour increments.' I will definitely pull the trigger on one now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
