Explorer 2/GMT Master 2

Hi, I'd like to get someone's opinion on the Explorer 2 16570 and GMT Master 2.

 

I have recently seen genuine models of both watches, and I have obviously seen the reps for these models. One thing that appears to be so evident is that the the rehault on the genuine models seems much thinner that the rep. The dial seems closer to the glass on the genuine, does anyone make a rep of either of these watches with this in mind?

I used the 16570 to build my 16710 per bklm's tutorial. http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/144657-making-a-gen-style-16710-case-out-of-a-16570-case-and-tw-bezel-assembly/page-2

 

Then I replaced the 2.0mm Clark's crystal with the new gen spec 1.8mm Clark's crystal. http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/164909-clarks-new-25-295-c-2-crystal/

 

The dial might look too close because all aftermarket crystals have been 2.0mm thick. The new 1.8mm seems to be much clearer and sharper. With this build the crystal and bezel are mounted as the genuine 16710 is. It looks great.
