Not been on the replica game long at all!
my old man is big on watches and hes the one who got me going.
I bought the datejust for him and i wear the GMT.
they are not the best reps. Id say the datejust is half decent. They both keep time very well!
it would be good if a anyone could pick faults with them any defects? Especially on the datejust
cheers, pete.

I'm no expert but a couple of standard issues with that GMT i.e. bezel paint is white, hand stack is wrong. Noticed that the "GMT MASTER II" text on the dial is green but should be white on this model. Pretty sure the hand and dot lume should be blue and not different colors. Also, if the crown is screwed down correctly in these pictures then it looks like it's sticking out too far.

The crown is screwed all the way in. Ive never noticed that before!
i found out tonight that the hand stack is wrong. It seems to be a common error with gmt replicas.
other than the lume being different colors i think its fairly decent?
thanks for the reply.

Yes the biggest (and almost impossible to correct) flaw is the Incorrect Hand Stack(ICHS).

Also, fairly decent or not is function of how much you paid for them. Low $100s or mid $300s?

I paid the equivalent of 250$ which I now think is too much considering the quality you can get on here

Oh no... But take it as a lesson learned! You'll then appreciate the quality our trusted dealers can get for you..and at a reasonable price point too!
