r11co Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 I was going to ask the exact same thing yesterday. Great minds and all that. I've been eyeing up the GranTurismo Ferrari Pan with GMT as I don't have any GMTs in my collection. I've been actively avoiding the modified 2836 faux GMT movements, but this alternative caught my attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r11co Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Update - the movement modifications are rubbish. The Zigmeister says so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMK000 Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Thanks r11co. Yes (as per The Zigmeister) it sounds crappy movement ..... same low quality like the 2836-2 mod. These (asian) guys can't get a GMT movement right. 2893-2 sounds the only option ..... but unfortunately no watches with this in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OiRogers Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I can vouch for the A7750 28.8k GMT movement in my particular example of the Pam 186. It's scary accurate for a rep. Within 1 sec a day on the wrist, about 3 sec a day on the winder. COSC Easy. I've used it as a daily wear beater for about 3 monthes now. Anyone who knows me personally knows I'm not gentle with my watches. I've smashed more than one Saphire crystal, big reason why I don't own any "mineral crystal" or "synthetic" saphire cyrstals. Pretty much all of my steel sport watches have a big ding or two in the case or on the strap. I've had two leather straps ripped off my wrist in various actions... once on the 186 GMT i'm praising here; it fell about 12 feet onto concrete as a result. It's taken my abuse and kept running spot on. I've only had to adjust it to the atomic clock twice since I've had it. As one can imagine, I don't sell my used watches; I bury them once all traces of life have been squeezed from em... Nanuq Jr I guess. The GMT hand has tracked accurately with the hour hand since minute one, no issues there. I wish my 2836-2 rep gmt were this nice. I've got one thats given me nothing but trouble. I'm to the point that if a GMT rep is available with the A7750, I'll pick that everytime over an ETA 2836-2. As always in the rep world, each watch is different. It could well be that my next A7750 GMT (prolly a timewalker) will be worthless. I've had great luck with mine, it came from Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
