Ultimate Rolex GMT II project with Domi

[Monito1975]

Hello guys,

I´m planing to buy a GMT II coke bezel and modify it as much as it need to get as close to the gen as possible.

We are wandering which models are the best for modding adn/or which modification would you suggest. Pics are always welcome.

So far I got a gen bezel insert gen crystal with cyclops adn a gen dial and crown su just looking for the right watch anybody who want to sell any PM please.

BK's "Transformer".......but it's out of stock.

Nope.

The Transformer was built on the Noob GMT case. You want a Noob explorer II case. It will take a gen style bezel assembly.

Failing that the new superlumed Explorer II case is decent.

I usually do bussiness with Andrew and Josh, what do you guys think abot their, CHS and vintage version with lug holes? Were and from who do I get the BK version?

[Monito1975]

I went in to perfectclones site and they have the Explorer II on 39, 40 and 42 mm which one is the noob explorer II?

[Monito1975]

I think I found it. Here is the link to the pics and specifications/dimensions, so you think this case will accept a gen dial, Bezel asembly and gen crystal/gasket asembly too?

If you will find 1:1 construction 40mm case and CHS , I'll buy it.

This for EXplorer II 40mm.

One stupid question as I am new to Rolex Reps, what is the BK version were do you get it and what is so good about it?

Now , I ve seen By-Thor´s reviews on GMT II but these reviews are mostly on watches that are no longer available from the dealers, does anybody have some feedback from the CHS from perfectclones? It sells for 388 and looks great, and of course the usual questions does it take any Gen parts (crystal, crown , bezel, insert etc....) ?

I want the same thing.... ughhh BK said that he cant make those anymore and someone else said the one on TrustyTime was crap

Literally just by looking at it, you can tell that the date is too far to the right. That means the dial and crystal are unusable for a decent build. I bought this watch and tore it down for parts because I wanted the CHS movement and hands.

There isn't a good GMT Master II 16710 rep out of the box. There are at least two (mine and BK's) build threads about how to build a nice one.

Sounds like an awesome build.

Curious, where did you source the 2893 compatible dial? I was thinking of swapping in a 2893-2 for a GMT IIc build (currently houses an A2836), but the dial date window isn't even close. Date wheels for both 2836s and 2893s are supposed to be @ 8.85mm. The date window on my dial is closer to 7.7

Sneed do you have a link to your thread?

Sneed, about the Explorer 2 case, you said it woul take a gen bezel assembly, what about a gen GMT II dial, ca 27.3 mm?

Sneed do you have a link to your thread?

Did you try doing a search for "sneed12" and "gmt"?

Hey Sneed, thanks for the help this is exactly what I was looking for, the big question now is would a gen Dial fit and if so would the date be aligned, for this purpose which one is best 2893-2 or 2836-2? By the way the ceramic GMT I got from you is a great watch, it' s at Domi's now for full service, water proof and superlume, I also found a perfect BMW car paint color for the Bezel it mimics exactly the original Bezel, I' ll post some pics soon.

All the best!

[TgfRulez]

here is my project completed... More pics to come..

[wat44]

Sneed. I bought a ceramic GMT IIc Pepsi and it came with a dud movement.

Are you able to fix it for me? I obviously need a new mvt and possibly hands if they don't match the new mvt.

Thank you!
