By-Tor Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Just received this one for a trade to my GMT IIc (which I never loved). This one... well this was a love at first sight. Thanks to a German member Pane for a flawless watch & transaction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care about the subdial issue at all. And we don't even know how the new movement is yet (long term). I just wanted a Ebel with a strap... and to get rid of my GMT IIc.

DemonSlayer Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 BT wearing a strap!! Never thought I'd see the day Congrats on the purchase, I love these Ebels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 BT wearing a strap!! Never thought I'd see the day Neither did I. I wanted the bracelet version initially but I think a watch with a strap adds some variation. More I thought about it, more I liked the idea. I guess it's safe to say that my collection hasn't been very "versatile". Congrats on the purchase, I love these Ebels. Thanks DS. I will take more pics soon, and write some kind of small article (as usual). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 That is a nice one. Congrats!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its_urabus Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 that is sexy BT. wear her well... and you know, with that larger sub dial at 9, the spacing looks better than say a moon watch with equal dials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Very nice BT. I know how long you have contemplated one of those. I just picked up the same one from a member last night. Needs some work but nothing serious. Look forward to getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Thanks guys. @dluddy: Cool. You won't be disappointed. This is really well made piece and the AR is ultra strong. I will set up my studio now and take some "seriouz shotz". Bump. Added a better wrist shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arminvanbuuren Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 cant wait for it... this is another watch that i've always wanted.. but the subdial actually bothered me.. but yeah cant wait for the shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 This is a serious watch. if not because of the wrong subdial spacing and open caseback, I would have kept it. A very well made replica. I am sticking to the Discovery. (Love it a lot by the way). Wear it in good health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I love how the yellow stitching on the strap matches some of the hands. Very sporty... looks like a real youthful and exciting piece! Also: good for you for not being finicky about the subdial spacing. You're just like me... wear what you like - don't dwell over something trivial.

wraithride Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Hey BT, how is the strap that came with that one? I was just looking at picking one of those us, and I like how the stitching matches the hand color. Is it decent? WR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thnx for you GMT II I like it really a very smooth bracelet what did you do with it? Hi Pane, I agree. It was a great trade for both of us. By the way... the review is out too. Regarding the GMTIIc bracelet: I mildly polished it and sunken it to a cup of sewing machine oil for overnight. That always does the trick with the rep Rolex bracelets. The difference is huge after this treatment. Here's a photo of your GMT. You can use it in the forum/wrist checks if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ThePhilosopher Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Ebel - added to want list, thank you - that's an amazing watch. I still don't want a Rolex though despite that amazing shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
