tonyp1 Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) Well mixed feelings here, these watches have ETA 2836 2 and truly AWESOME dials and I mean Ive looked at them with my 4x magnifying glass no flaws at all extremely sharp. I guess I have to take back the previous rant about how all rolex dials suck. Now the part that sucks they have case holes totally incorrect for a 2005 model. Normally I wouldn't care but they've change the II on the dial to ll. So I guess you win some and loose some more Edited January 1, 2007 by tonyp1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Isn't the II and the ll thing a legitimate Rolex change where they changed the serif on the dials- of course, I can't tell you which came first, but how many WIS do you run into? And w/ lug holes, it's an older watch, in excellent condition! They look good and I'm w/ Submariner 2005- enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechWatch Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Sorry to make negative comment. The pepsi GMT has bad insert printing, especially at the "8" with part of the bottom missing. I have a GMT II with the same bezel insert defect. . Bought it before I found RWG and the dealers here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct. What Ive found with these watches it that every watch will have something that sucks. The coke and Pepsi has a very nice crown while the black GMT has a nice one. Could you please post a pic of your correct bezel. Im on the rolex chat room and im seeing several different kinds. Here is a pic of the newest GEN GMT bezel.

tonyp1 Posted December 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) By-Tor AWESOME article I learned allot . I was some what sceptic about ETA having a 4th hand movement that would work in a rolex case until I found your helpful article.
