tmg Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Newbie question: Were the 80s Pepsi Subs smaller? Aren't they all one size? Reason I ask is that the watch looks tiny on Selleck's wrist. Having IMDB'ed for his height, I see he and my father are precisely the same height. But dad's gen Sub covers nearly his whole wrist, and doesn't look small compared to this photo. Of course, men of similar heights can have different body builds, and Selleck's wrist could be very big, but still... @TMG: Yay! Lovely pic, is that watch yours?? I think I'll rip off your Che idea, giving it my own spin. Stay tuned. All 1675's are 40mm Vic, Selleck must have gorilla wrists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoria Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 I can finally post my Explorer pics, By-Tor! Won't you and Nanuq be surprised. Silix Rolex Oyster Perpetual Explorer (Ref. 1016) A difficult watch to photograph to get just the right non-reflective shots. But beautiful! (However, this is my first domed plexiglass rep watch and am I glad I got it. I don't think I would like the PAM 249 that much) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK471 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I'm not a Rolex guy, so please forgive this question, but do any of these GMTs work as GMTs? I suppose they can't function like the genuine GMT Master because of the movement that Rolex uses, but I'm curious. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'm not a Rolex guy, so please forgive this question, but do any of these GMTs work as GMTs? I suppose they can't function like the genuine GMT Master because of the movement that Rolex uses, but I'm curious. Thanks. Yes, the correct hand stack version operates exactly like the genuine. The hour hand moves in 1 hour jumps, and the hands set exactly the same way. Technically, the modified 2836-2 only pretends to be a GMT movement, but it operates exactly like the Rolex caliber 3185. However, the date change follows the 24h hand on the rep. I wrote a small article about the rep faux GMT movements. See it here. @vic: Great choice! ExpI is an excellent replica. @Stephane: Fantastic ExpII of course. This goes without saying. Feel free to post more pics of it. Since this thread is still alive... here's a few photos I've taken of my Franken-Explorer II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker27 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) In regards to my explorer BY-TOR is incorrect. The orange hand simply displays the time in 24 hour mode and does not operate in a GMT mode. It is unlike both the GMT MASTER and THE GMT MASTER II as well as the Explorer II produced after 1985 or 1986.

It is unlike both the GMT MASTER and THE GMT MASTER II as well as the Explorer II produced after 1985 or 1986. When I was talking about the "correct" hand stack version, I was of course referring to modern Explorer II and GMT II, which both use caliber 3185. Gen vintage models have different hand stack, and don't have a quick-set hour hand. Reps of the vintage models often have adjustable GMT hands, which is technically inaccurate... but no big deal, as long as you set the 24h hand properly.

Stephane Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 @ By-Tor and all: There are some in Belgium but they are expensive. I found one in the Netherlands, he is friendly and has some good prices. I got mines from him. Not everything is on his web site. If you have a special request/budget just send him an eMail. www.subgmt.com Cheers Stephane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
