arminvanbuuren Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 lol i told u.. ppl are too picky about it not being accurate and all.. i mean hell even rolex itself isnt perfect.. i bet u theres a rolex gen out there with these flaws (thick bezel font) and its a gen... at the end of the day with flaws or not.. people arent gonna think that these reps exist (i mean who would've thought that reps that have a real ceramic bezel exist)? even AD's would think it's real if they see it.. eventho they see the flaws, they'll be like "ohh it looks odd but it can't be a rep.. just looks to gen to be a rep" or alongs the line of that!

UB7 Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Looking good lan! Enjoy the new piece bro. Just be careful, if the ceramic is anything like the HBB case and has SS under the ceramic, it will scratch alot easier than you think. Either way a stunning watch, wear it in the best of health - i will definitely be picking 1 of these up. And by the way, your pictures with the new camera are like night and day with your old pics, really amazing pics! They have improved 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have improved 100% thanks D ... this is definately a "rep" you want to purchase ok on the ceramic.. i'll remember that.. I need to get the setings on the nikon more precise.. speed and aperature are not in sync ... going with the macro lens tomorrow.. @robertb,.. congrats..it was my understanding all along that the 2nd batch was going to be the last of the correct stack.... regardless... you're goin to love this piece.. cool how the hour hand clicks seperately and the minute hand stay's stationary... (via crown adjustment) @arminv.... pm me maybe we can work out a lay away.. hate to see you miss out on this one.. @yello.. again Thank you for the kind words.. .. not p to the magazine review of the strs here.. but good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking about lay away ..not a house payment... and I'm not a lone shark.. if you can put 200usd.. down i could see about ordering one .. i will hold it until you get closer to the actual price... but my concern is customs ouside Conus..

chrgod Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Thanks for the review, Lanikai. Well done. Hard to resist this watch.. But so far, I just got my "Retro" GMT-II last week and enjoys it. I see that Trusty now has the watch back in stock, with the correct hand stack movement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 i dont like GMT masters unless they are a nice worn out old vintage... BUT this one is tempting. I will definatly have to add this one to my list. I would prefer the incorrect handstack to avoid reliability issues.... dizz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arminvanbuuren Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 oh right i get it.. the reason this watch sold out too quickly isnt the fact that it's actually that its as popular as ppl make it sound.. but the fact that they only do batches of 30's? so in total in the week that they released only around 100 of these have been sold.. i thought with other reps they have initial release of 100s or even 1000s.. so everyone can have a chance to buy one.. i mean i'm pretty sure more BCE's have been sold out then these GMTIIC but wat i dont get is that it never gets sold out.. so my question is instead of mass producing these watches like the other models.. why do they only release 100 pcs for the 1 week it's released then stop producing again? are they copying rolex's marketing strategy? produce below the demand now?
