My 2 Gmts Finally Arrived

[tonyp1]

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

Yeah... nice GMTs. Enjoy!!!

I have one too.

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!

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.

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.

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.

The picture posted by By-Thor on this thread have a good insert. I don't have a gen yet so sorry can't post any picture. One will be coming soon.
