munk Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Anybody got a review or bought the GMT IIc with the clone 3186 movement from Trusty? This looks pretty cool aren't they... http://www.tt88time.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=41_214&products_id=5425 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Since the watch just became available yesterday, I doubt that anyone here has 1. There are also 3 or 4 existing threads about this, so instead of beginning yet another 1, you ought to search out the previous threads.

Edwin25 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Wow, Check out the lume... or is it photoshoped??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 It's pretty amazing what the chinese will do! Take a 2836 clone and decorate it w/ Rolex markings and then modify the balance bridge to make it look like a 3100 series Rolex movement. Look at the keyless works above the stem, the stem release slot, the click wheels, etc, all classic 2836 features. Like Freddy says, these just showed up this week, so no one's got one yet. But being that it's a clone, I figure it at so-so. Probably not worth the extra bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stac Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 If I opened up that watch without my glasses and lope I'd have to say the case clamps are the first dead giveaway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutlerman Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 There are issue with it, but I am with alligoat, it is impressive what the factories are doing...The movement will never be seen, well at least not seen by 90%+ of the customers and they've put a ton of work into this one piece....now if they could only figure out how to make a good pearl and center it in on the bezel....hmmmmm...I guess that is harder to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker01 Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 but the GMT IIc doesn't need a pearl? Not unless there's new version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutlerman Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 @Hike - Sorry I was just referring to Pearls in general (Omega's, Rolex's...etc) Not the GMT IIc in particular.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munk Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Yeah the movement construction pretty much 2836 base. but im sure in the future they can make the real clone. if they can with eta i'll bet they can do it with any other movement...haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Wow, Check out the lume... or is it photoshoped??? It's time-lapse .. that picture could be a 10 second exposure for all you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shundi Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 It's time-lapse .. that picture could be a 10 second exposure for all you know No blur from the seconds hand moving though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 No blur from the seconds hand moving though. The crown is in the "hack" position, Sir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmegaPOFL Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 lol as for the "amazing lume" as Jkay said.. the crown is out... so this could've been 30 sec. exposure for all we know.. except the lume to be poor. as for the movt. i really hope the zeigster can check it out and see how good/bad it really is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shundi Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 The crown is in the "hack" position, Sir Touche- didn't even notice that! My apologies good sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakemaster Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 All that extra money for something you can't see lol. Unless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Touche- didn't even notice that! My apologies good sir. If "Trusty" is going to do long exposure lume shots, he should at least leave the crown screwed down and wait until the watch STOPS before taking the photo, like Pugwash does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
