correctime Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 BK offered the Noob Exp.II and GMT II in the past. The Exp.II's were offered in both engraved and non-engraved rehaut versions. engraved version serial number M448188 non-engraved version serial # F520117 Both are capable of using the gen crystal (and alot more but this is regarding the crystal) The GMT II was offered in non-engraved rehaut only (to the best of my knowledge) While they are considered by many to have been the best ever made, the downside was they weren't able to accept the gen crystal. But I'm seeing in BK's original offering the Noob GMT II used the case numbered F520117. Was the Noob GMT II built on the same case the Exp.II was built on....? or did they simply just keep using the same serial number ??? OR...is F520117 not the serial number on the GMT II cases ?? Also..am I correct in that the Noob GMT II's will not accept a gen crystal and did not have a gen like bezel construction ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Sneed might know, he sold a noob GMT here recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
correctime Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Sneed might know, he sold a noob GMT here recently. Thanks woof. I know he's a resident "Authority" on the GMT II's and Exp.II's...... .....perhaps he'll chime in and share some knowledge. I'm just curious about the Noob GMT II as it has the same serial # as the Noob Exp.II .....and the Exp.II will take a gen crystal....guess I'm hoping to hear the GMT II will too though I don't believe it will. (hence the Exp.II to GMT II conversion...yeilds a much more gen like GMT II if a good dial (Noob or gen) can be used ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
correctime Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 I just noticed the typo in the Thread Title. It should read DICONTINUED....not DISCOUNTED... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
correctime Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 No one here owns a Noob GMT II and Noob Exp.II ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valty Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 My BK GMT II is #F520117. I have gen bezel construction (accepting gen insert), so I guess mine will not accept gen crystal. Not a real problem if you consider you can change the mag lens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w.genzo Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Yes the LEC is the problem New Noob EXII accepts gen crystal, right? Forgetting the fancy CG's it could be a good base for a GMT conversion.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielv2000 Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Yes the LEC is the problem + 1. Same problem as the SSD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
