Just saw a 21J movement available on these...128-148 depending on who you get it from.
If that 21j is a 21.600 mvt. I've venture to say that's going to be much more obvious in this larger version. While some seem to praise the 21j as being better suited for the GMT complication, the GMT modded 2836-2 or A-clone is an excellent 4th hand modded mvt. and I've never had any issues with any I've owned and still own. Just my two cents....go with a 28.8 mvt.

Is this the version you guys are talking about?

I saw Avenger post this in a wrist check thread.

Cool watch. I'm wanting one too. Who is selling the best version?

Yup that's the one.
I haven't been shopping around for them but Josh has these (with the wider, more acurrate looking hands) in both White and Black versions.

The price does seem to be going up on some but then again, so is the quality and acurracy.

Looks like the rehaut engraving lines up! That's a big step in itself.

I'm sorry but I can't remember which dealer is "Josh." Can anyone help?

Does anyone know if a lume shot of this watch exists?

Thank you.

Pretty close. Here's the real deal for comparison. Is it just me or do the bezel numbers look spaced a bit towards the outside of the bezel? They should be centered. This is a great looking watch, I have the old school Explorer 2 coming in, but may have to add this one to the herd.

Very nice. Thank you. Where did you pick this up, Avenger? And, how many clams did it set you back?

Are those links polished or brushed?

I grabbed it from Tony @ A7750. Shoot him a PM or email. He's one of the best I've dealt with. Can't say enough good things about Tony.

The links are brushed as per gen. My SELs were a little wobbly, but it was just the springbars not fitting in the holes quite right. Now they are snug and the SELs are rock solid.

I just ordered one of these from Trevor. Less than $200 for 2836-2 clone superlumed! i had one from WBK, it was beautiful but had a 21j, if it had had a clone movement it would probably be my daily beater. Now Im getting one with superlume (WBK wasnt superlumed but probably the best stock rep lume Ive ever seen) running at 28.8k. Im pretty excited. I really hope the new watches are all superlumed, for the price I was quoted to do a lume service these new watches are a steal.

Looks fine to me. Should just touch the inside of the rectangular lumed markers.

Looks fine to me too.
I think it just looks "too long" as the gen hand has a tad but longer Black painted strip for the "floating" effect.

The rep need some improve in the date window..They all seem not be so good...Maybe the DW...
