jamgua Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Hi guys, The price is quite expansive for reps, but I wonder it's because the "real" 18K yellow gold on it or maybe perfections on its detail. When the item arrived, i was pretty impressed of the whole build, the wrapped ceramic bezel is cool also the engraves, the gold plated is quite thick (approx 0.33mm), case and bracelet finishing is also great. Quick look, it's very close to gen but I'm not gonna go into deep, it's only my first impression of this noob's rep. Here are some pics : Maybe it's only my opinion, a bit too yellow on the gold color, or maybe someone can tell me more about it.Crystal a bit too thick i guess. I saw my friend's genuine a bit flat on crystal also not that thick, correct me if I am wrongThe plated of 18K YG is pretty thick, approximately 0,33 mm, way better to any version available in the market The logo on crystal still different compare to gen, "the dot" is not there as per gen. It's not a big issue, at least exist on rep . Have no comment on caseback. all good and precise, no gap between case and bracelet. Well finished.Despite the YG color, the bracelet is very nice to hold, there is no "cheapy" sound when you shake it, pretty solidThe clasp is smooth when I open and close it, no issue at all. Hv no doubt on lume, noob always perfect on this. I took that pic after a short light on it, no need too long. It just cool.This is the only big issue I have on this reps, and i think with all GMT Master models : Look at the yellow circle, it's so clear that the gmt hand position is not like genuine. Gen have GMT hand between minute and hour hands, but in reps the GMT hand is on the bottom of all hands. With A2836 on this rep, it will make a huge different on date / hands setting. The way to set the date is just different from gen. Please someone tell me if there is any reps with correct hands stack and date setting.

QueTip Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Didn't you get enough replies on RWI? No there is not any other way to get a decent CHS movement than going with the converted Yuki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Yes there is. Our Rolex guy misielkped can convert a yuki 3135 movement to a GMT using genuine Rolex parts. The converted movement has the correct hand stack. Also like the gen watches that have the settable hour hand, there is no quickset date. In all the modern Rolex GMT's , 16710, 116710 and the two tone and all gold versions of these, the quickset date was sacrificed to make the hour hand settable both forward and back.
