GMT also uses the ETA 2836-2, but its modified to accommodate the GMT function, if you read some more you will understand that some of them do have some problems and why its not really a true GMT watch. I trust that you will do some more research, good luck!
djtimodj Posted May 23, 2006 Author Report Posted May 23, 2006 thanks for that i have had a look but did not realy understand what i was reading. thanks any how.
Guest Sql_pl Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 Be careful when buying a Seamaster Pro. I believe those great ones we got used to ended and now dealers are selling new stock from new factory. New SMPs have wrong polished sides of a bracelet, SCREWS instead of bracelet pins and they do not have antimagnetic shield between caseback and the movement. Cheers!

I don't know if failing GMT function relates to general failure of the movement or not. I have had trouble with this system - from now on, I am looking for GMTs with true GMT movements. I have a source who says he's sending me a Rolex GMT with the Swiss 2893 movement -- should be on its way, so Ill post pics when I get it. Bill

GhostfaceZX Posted May 23, 2006 Report Posted May 23, 2006 I don't know for sure about the way the SMP GMT's 2836-2 works, but one thing that really annoys me about my Exp2 2836-2 is that the date change occurs when the GMT hand reaches 0:00. One positive thing about this movement is that the hour hand is independently adjustable. I have the SMP GMT with Asian movement, and the date change occurs with the hour hand, but the GMT hand is the one that's independently adjustable on this watch. Both have their negative points... I've never seen the GMT 2893 movements to tell you about any issues they may have.
