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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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?

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: :wacko: :wacko:

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 ? ;)

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.
