mbjoer Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 The issue I had - and which I think was the most common one with the GMTII - was the GMT hand slipping. The rest was fine. This I received in May of last year. Wonder if that was the old GMT modification and if a similar one today would not have that issue? Asking because I up to now have recommended to go 21J instead of A2836 for GMT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grejyedi Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I meant is there any particular dealer or model you should go to to get the new movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, The Zigmeister is saying that the newest asian GMT module will no longer slip and become useless if it's properly maintained. He's saying it has finally been made properly.

tabularasa415 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 R, Excellent work. I have to agree with you on the clone 2892's. I bought a rep Omega AT from Joshua that was sold to me as "Swiss ETA 2892-2" and was actually a clone. (Of course, why am I not surprised when the watch was $268+shipping?) After having it for a few weeks it stopped running while in my watch box. It would wind manually, but obviously something was off. Well, $30-something worth of ETA parts and it's running well, but there's obviously some flaws in them somewhere. --Jer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally had to replace them with ETA 2892's, the clone's are very poor quality, surprised you got yours working with the ETA parts.

its_urabus Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Rob, is the gmt hand above or below the hour hand on this new movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Rob, is the gmt hand above or below the hour hand on this new movement? GMT hand is below, against dial face, same movement and design is in the new 029. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
