Those are pretty great out of the box. The two things you listed there are about it. Personally, I would leave it as is.

Thanks for your reply...as far as I have read, the dw can be changed to the bk custom one. Has anyone done that and is it worth it?

And is Rolex lume very bright? Is the lume on a rep not as bright? Or is it just not as long lasting? I just wanna know if the mods are worth spending money on.

Thanks all

Yes you can swap the DW for a better one.
The Rolex gen lume is a lot brighter than the out of the box rep lume, a lume job is worth the money. It will be brighter, longer lasting and the colour will be closer to gen.

Interesting user name there . . .

Waiting for a picture off that name, eh? Send your watch off to one of the many modders. Tell them what you want and they can help you out. Where are you located?

My honest opinion is don't mode it....
At first search for the comparison noob GMt vs Gen Gmt...

Really good and the tells like rehaut engraving cannot be fixed..So no need to do the rest..But thats just me..You can get an 80$ or 500$ and still look alike except in the dark...The TS 80$ offering is so good for the money..Many members are so pleased with it..

Only my opinion and i am waiting for your thoughts...

So does that mean all rehaut are wrong? Non of them will be inline at all? And are there gmt II that are made without rehaut engraving? Can I just sand it off?

I am I the uk btw

I am also curious as that would kind of bug me.. TimesShops.net has it aligned correctly in their picture; they put an emphasis on it.

Mate the gen ceramic gmt is producted only with rehaut engraving...
Older Rolex range models didn't have..But all the ceramics do...

Do the mods only for you..What i mean is superlume the watch if you want to see the time at night..
Don't mode for not being called out...
With the GMT you are already in some good level out of the box and these modds are not so important for me...
But this is only me as i said before...

Oh ic, thanks guys =) sorry for being so stupid...but its just rolex seem to be a place where most people start the rep bug. I am actually seeing the pams and I think they are accurate without much mods...

Thanks all

Don't forget that all these watches in pics are enlarged. On your wrist you can barely see rehaut engraving let alone any mis-alignment. My noob sub has a horribly crooked pearl under a loupe but you don't see it on the wrist.
