Rikske Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 Still waiting for the GMT IIc rep coming out. Anyone knows more about this?
Slartibartfast Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 Already is out, try here http://www.trustytime88.com/index.php?main...products_id=605
FxrAndy Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 I think Rikske is after thew one with the engraved ceramic bezel insert
lazarini Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 As we all are to much of a giveaway without the ceramic bezel insert
baglc1 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 Still waiting for the GMT IIc rep coming out. Anyone knows more about this? PT has it, but no ceramic bezel.
Rikske Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Posted February 2, 2008 I was indeed refering to an improved new rep with ceramic bezel not the presently available with printed bezel and wrong color date and/or GMT hand.
elprimerozen Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 The problem people its not the bezel!!! its the all new biger case!!
Guest Carl Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 Well, I just need the ceramic bezel! Carl
gioarmani Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 (edited) The ceramic bezel insert on these reps could be so easily faked with a plastic bezel insert--it would look exactly like it. The simplest things seem like rocket science in Guangzhou. It's ridiculous no one's accomplished this yet. Edited February 3, 2008 by gioarmani
fredman Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 Perhaps we need to have a poll on this new case and bezel....... its the only way to substantiate the interest and potential to the dealers so that they can have one replicated.
im2 Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 I was indeed refering to an improved new rep with ceramic bezel not the presently available with printed bezel and wrong color date and/or GMT hand. Any news on that ?? ?
16520b Posted February 10, 2008 Report Posted February 10, 2008 (edited) Any news on that ?? ? The latest one use plastic bezels with recessed numbers, which look in my opinion more like the originals the one on PT's gallery has the printed bezel I think Edited February 10, 2008 by 16520b
mezzanine Posted February 10, 2008 Report Posted February 10, 2008 I'm not sure whether they could rep the ceramic well or not. I know that it would be very difficult to achieve the effect of the polished ceramic bezel on the HBB without real ceramic. Ceramic has a mirror-like reflectivity that isn't a property that is shared by many other substances.
im2 Posted February 10, 2008 Report Posted February 10, 2008 Do anyone know which dealer has the bezel with recessed numbers? I think this can be a fair alternative as ceramic is hard to rep
EuroTimez Posted February 10, 2008 Report Posted February 10, 2008 Can't wait to see the REP GMT2 comin out! But like ELPRIMEROZEN mentioned it is the Case that is the biggest issue. They need to make a whole new case first, a prototype. My theory behind it is that the first factory that will make it, will need to invest alot alot of money, prob first of getting a original or something (whtever they do when they copy stuff) then they need to make a prototype mold etc, then the straps which is already available (not sure if it fits tho) etc. So when they finally put in the huge investment etc, and start selling them. Then another factory will make a copy of the copy, without having to spend all the initial cost/investment. I not sure if this is true or not, but that's what I like to think, coz I think nobody wants to be the first to invest and go thru the whole process just to get copied by fellow chinese. The IRONNY
16520b Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 Do anyone know which dealer has the bezel with recessed numbers? I think this can be a fair alternative as ceramic is hard to rep My friend got it while on vacation in China, suprising good quality with the recessed number bezel + correct date font and mag I think some of our dealers should have it soon
ChronoKing Posted March 7, 2008 Report Posted March 7, 2008 Any update on this? We all want ceramic!!!!
gioarmani Posted March 7, 2008 Report Posted March 7, 2008 My friend got it while on vacation in China, suprising good quality with the recessed number bezel + correct date font and mag I think some of our dealers should have it soon If it's true that this has been out since your Feb 10th post, then some pics are in order. I find it hard to believe the correct bezel insert you are describing hasn't been sourced by a single dealer or member. Does your friend have a camera, or can you snap some pics of this piece?
narikaa Posted March 7, 2008 Report Posted March 7, 2008 Not ceramic But engraved http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=68807 .
im2 Posted March 8, 2008 Report Posted March 8, 2008 Not ceramic But engraved http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=68807 . That looks really good !!! ... Same price as nymphomariner reg? I bet it is also from the same source, no?
narikaa Posted March 8, 2008 Report Posted March 8, 2008 Correctomundo! Check out the psychic abilities of im2
crick0234 Posted March 9, 2008 Report Posted March 9, 2008 great! engraved rehaut! now wehre's that engraved bezel insert
im2 Posted March 9, 2008 Report Posted March 9, 2008 the watch seems excellent... Engraved rehaud, engraved bezel, cheap price and the fact that u are dealing with narikaa is making the whole thing really interesting... except onew thing :S ..... The watch is wrong! Engraved rehaud and bezel means that this is a rep of the new GMT's.... but the case of these new GMT's is supposed to be different.. Check out a pic of a gen and u will see.. it looks larger on top and botton where the bracelet is linked with the case.... WTH?? It is ROLEX GMT MASTER!!! And it exists (the new version) since one year... Haven't they been able to make a new case?? :wacko:
Guest Mr.Magorium Posted March 11, 2008 Report Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) Still waiting for the GMT IIc rep coming out. Anyone knows more about this? Yes, but the case is the old classic one. The new case is thicker and larger, At this time all rep factories uses old classic cases and add a green gmt hand and a new bezel insert... You want to see the new watch with the new case ? Edited March 11, 2008 by Mr.Magorium
Rikske Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Posted March 12, 2008 Yes , IMO the new rep should have new case , engraved rehaut, green gmt hand and gmt marking on dial , black date font and engraved (not printed as now is) ceramic (or simulated e.g plastic) bezel insert.
