By-Tor Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 I bought this watch for an upcoming GMT review/buying guide I'm planning to write. So I'm not going to details here... but it's indeed quite nice. Huge thanks again to my mate ***Stephane*** for his "delivery help". Much appreciated. Here's a quick pic.

Victoria Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 I bought this watch for an upcoming GMT review/buying guide I'm planning to write. So I'm not going to details here... but it's indeed quite nice. What the hell! This is an unusual GMT II Rollie, and suddenly I see it everywhere. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?s=&...st&p=321655 Can't wait, By-Tor.

Stephane Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 What the hell! This is an unusual GMT II Rollie, and suddenly I see it everywhere. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?s=&...st&p=321655 Can't wait, By-Tor. Not the same V., not he same MBW Not MBW (special custom made like BT) Very old one from the bay So many GMT II out there...like subs Cheers Stephane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevethebest Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 The MBW (first picture) came also (for a short time, I'm afraid) with the correct hand stack, which is, from dial: hour - GMT - minutes - seconds. Many in the forum (BT already declared this) do not mind very much an incorrect hand stack but somebody else (I am one of these) think that the hand stack is the real issue with the GMT, and not only for the quite short time when the hour hand passes above the GMT hand. The longer and differently stacked GMT red hand is very visible in all the perspective. I do not assume being right, but .. anybody out there agrees with me?

docblackrock Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 BT, when you say 'custom' what do you mean exactly? It looks identical to Josh's new "Retro" edition. http://www.pc-80108.com/rlgs10007-retro-ed...362-p-3425.html Better 24-hr hand (finally! would love to get hold of that) but dodgy bold datefont. Still a very nice piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted September 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Ahh... I wasn't aware he has that model in his website. It wasn't there until now. HERE is Elprimerozen's rep vs. gen comparison of this watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Ah ah, smart man Josh ! With the hype ahead for your review, he will sell some great numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 You've inspired me to put my Greenie GMT on tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsons Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Looks good BT but judging from your excellent photo, the side case holes appear to be located a tad too far towards the lug ends. This reminds me of a late model TW 16610 I had with the same issue and the holes would have been very difficult to drill to 1.2mm. The older style TW cases by comparison, had the side case holes properly positioned so drilling them was not an issue other than it being a total PIA. This is the old style GMT TW/MBW case with the lugs drilled for comparison: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted September 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 @Jet: Yes I know. I reviewed your watch too. Or at least I think it was the same one. See it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted September 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Here's a wristshot. I'll review this watch individually as soon as I have more time (been busy with my editorial work (day job) lately, and that sux). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
