dimoza Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Hi, which one is a more successful replica, the DSSD V5 or the GMT Master II 116710. In both cases, who has the best replica out there? Thanks for your feedback, I am making a buy this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 They are both great watches...but entirely different. The DSSD is massive, the GMT not. The DSSD can be had in a cheap $108 dollar "lite" type version...whereas the 116710 needs to have the ETA ICHS movement to be reliable. The 116710 is much thinner so wears very differently.

marcoxxx1984 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 I think that DSSD V5 upgraded version is better than GMT. The bezel colour of rep gmt is completeley off.... the gen colour of bezel is unreplicable... it's sometimes dark grey and sometimes black with a speech appearance... Instead the DSSD ceramic bezel is quite near the gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see a GMT rep closeby, but I saw the DSSD V5 and I compared it with the gen: date window edges is sharp, but not sharp enough. Date not centered in date window. Bezel nums engraving not bold enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your input. What is the ICHS ETA movement, and where can I find it. And what do you think about the DSSD V5 date window/centering and Bezel engraving compared to the GMT?

Toadtorrent Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 There are 3 versions of the GMT movement: Asian 21j modded - the cheap one with varying opinions on reliability...doesn't operate the same as a Rolex gmt movement Asian ETA Clone modded with Incorrect (Wrong) Hand Stack - ICHS - hand stack order is different from gen Rolex Swiss ETA ICHS - considered reliable, but as with all ICHS movements, they don't function quite the same as the gen Rolex movement SWISS ETA CHS - Works the same as the gen Rolex movement, but is often considered unreliable, expensive and hard to source Most dealers will have the cheap Asian 21J modded, ETA ICHS, and Asian ETA ICHS. The bezel engraving on the GMT IIC can be good if you get the right one. Look for By-Tor's review and additional posts on the GMT IIc...he is one of the big authorities on it, and has posted TONNES of info comparing various versions of it. I think he got his from Precious Tim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
