Star69 Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 found this @ Perfect Clones G*M*T a new dial, plexi, a little aging and its okay ? what do you think ? cheers, Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 It looks ok, but why did they even bother to attempt to make the 2836 look like a 1570? Who cares? It's behind a closed caseback where no one will see it. :g The bracelet & lugholes look good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegaunit Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 Same old GMT Master "date" dial, bezel and crystal wrong. Bracelet is an improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 It looks ok, but why did they even bother to attempt to make the 2836 look like a 1570? Who cares? It's behind a closed caseback where no one will see it. :g I am convinced these look-a-like movements only exist to scam Pawn Shops and uninformed eBay/Craigslist buyers. As far as the above rep goes, it screams rep to me. At that price, considering the amount of mods needed to make it more plausible it does not seem like a good buy. Case and Bracelet seem decent.

By-Tor Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 It has "spiky" Submariner/Sea Dweller crown guards. That was the first thing I noticed. Unfortunately it's not a good rep at all. The wait continues... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Keep looking! This one isn't much better than the past models. Looks like they are just taking a sub case and adding a GMT dial movement and hands,etc. the crown is way too big and unfortunately, when you replace the crown with a proper size gen, the crown guard opening is going to be too wide.Crown guards are too pointy. With all the Gen 1675's and 16750's floating around at pretty reasonable prices, you would think that the rep manufacturers could make a perfect copy of this watch. Maybe in a few years when WM9 gets around to making a GMT, we will have a reasonable rep, but we don't have one now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiman12 Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 It has "spiky" Submariner/Sea Dweller crown guards. That was the first thing I noticed. Unfortunately it's not a good rep at all. The wait continues... I agree...it would have been better for them to use the current 1655 and make that into a 1675...the CG's would at least be more accurate...

Star69 Posted August 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 thanks guys ! was hoping after the 1655 they put a little more effort in the 1675 cheers, Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 I thought for sure they would have replicated a 1675 before they made a 1655. I think the GMT would be a bigger seller dizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 If you enlarge the pic in the top right hand corner of Josh's ad, you see the 'E' in Date just in the corner of the cyclops. By now you'd think they could get rid of the 'Date' and just make it Oyster Perpetual- instead they try to hide it with the hour hand!
