gmtlover Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Does anyone know if there are factories already working on this model? Can't wait to get my hands on one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmtlover Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) Ahh already found it on PT but people here are saying the insert in metal? Can't see that on these pics or are my eye that bad? http://puretime.co/product/gmt-master-ii-116710blnr-blackblue-ceramic-bezel-a2836/ First thing I can tell is that the hands are way off..

panerai153 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I believe that there was a post over on RepGeek yesterday or two days ago that someone had it out, the general consensus was it was pretty terrible. Typical GMT problems, bezel insert numbers way too thin, the CG's were off, rehaut engraving bad, and the example shown on the website had a painted aluminum insert, not ceramic. The OP did say that he had contacted the dealer, and the watches for sale would have a ceramic insert. From the photos, it looks pretty nice, but it's loaded with faults. Biggest problem here, if you wanted to mod it, where would you get a gen bezel/insert. these are brand new Rolex releases, and I doubt that there are any "spare" bezel/inserts floating around. That insert is definitely painted metal, look at the numbers, they are flat. On the ceramic insert, the numbers are engraved in the ceramic. like this: this is a gen bezel/insert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maevit4996 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Why not just take a green handed gmt and mod it? the new blue gmt is the same case as the green one isnt it? Its not hard to paint the gmt hand but the problem would be to paint the bezel well so that it woudnt look like it wasnt painted. Any thoughts on that? I posted about this watch a few days ago and the consensus was that the one up right now isnt worth it at all. Given you have the craftsmanship to pull that paint job off, it might work. The only thing different is the two tone bezel and the GMT hand color being green. Should get your hands on a gen BLNR GMT since a lot of photos makes it come off a little purple rather than blue. The problem with painting in the blue half of the bezel is the edge it will make when you remove the masking tape, since the paint itself is creating another layer. But if someone can make it work thatll be cool, if not Ill wait for a proper factory version. I love rolexes with a splash of color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmtlover Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Waiting for a good version then ;-) BP factory perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rek001 Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 I would imagine creating a decent looking two color ceramic bezel would be quite difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmtlover Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) I hope they can pull of the 2 color insert..should be almost the same color as the blue ceramic sub. I really would buy one if one of the factories comes out with a decent version. I guess I prefer BP because they have the gen style bezel assembly if I remember correctly from another post.

rek001 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 LIke I said, it will be interesting if they can pull of a true 2 color ceramic insert, but of course the bezel numbers will probably be too thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't look as deep, but will probably be good because the "normal" black GMT IIc are also deep enough mmm just got confirmed from andrew that it is a blue ceramic insert and the black part is painted...:-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
