Theperfectwatch Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Hi, I'm newbie about world of replicas, but based on my little experience I noticed often the models are very well realized but the original Rolex appear different. The biggest difference is the case, an original appear always larger and the bezel mode defined and higher. Is there anyone who is able to offer or realize replicas without these problems ? I'm interested in GMT Master II cercamic new model and DeepSea Please let me know , I accept pm messages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 There are plenty of posts about the various versions of the GMTII-C. In general, there are no 'perfect' replicas. Each one will have it's own set of flaws. Only you can decide whether they are acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 As tomhorn said, there are plenty of good GMTIICs around from the dealers listed here & their cases & bezels tend to have pretty accurate dimensions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theperfectwatch Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Exatly...they tend to be....same size....the problem is only one...they are not same size and the problem is ONLY ONE...the lugs.....an original has a larger case with larger lug. it should not be so difficult solve this problem or not ?

freddy333 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Admittedly, I have not mic'd & compared the dimensional specs of my watch to some gens, but I have compared them visually (I am pretty anal about such things), & whatever differences may exist can be attributed to polishing &/or normal wear. Certainly, there is nothing about the size/shape of the lugs that would draw attention to them under normal conditions. There are far more salient inaccuracies on these reps than lug dimensions, which would likely require a micrometer to detect anyway. If you feel there is a serious inaccuracy with the lugs, post the official dimensions & I will compare it to my watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 THIS is still the only decent GMTIIc replica ever produced.It's not as accurate as WM9/TC 16610 but fairly decent forgery anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 THIS is still the only decent GMTIIc replica ever produced. Definitely the best out-of-the-box GMT IIc, but not the best one if you plan to mod it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theperfectwatch Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 The problem is about the lenght of the lugs, the original Rolex appears more massive due to that detail, bezel and Crystal also make it higher , all appears bigger, at least this is the impression I had putting side by side a replica and original, then surely steel 316 is different from original Rolex steel. Anyway replica tend to be close but sometime they do not put attention to these details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
