Rolex GMT2 Ceramic models

[aganthorp]

I am looking to get a ceramic GMT2 and I through reading and looking at the selections various dealers offer I have come to the conclusion that the rehaut engraving on this watch is aligned correctly ONLY on the 21j models. I cannot find a single example of an eta, clone or otherwise, where the rehaut engraving is done properly. Does this watch not exist, or am I missing something?

Thanks,

It doesn´t exist indeed.

None of the ETA (being supposedly swiss, or confirmed clone) have the rehaut engraving correctly aligned.
...Only the a21j one has it correctly aligned, and even so, it´s worth only for the ROLEXROLEXROLEX part of the engraving, not for the serial number, which should be aligned too, and on NONE of the models existant nowadays have it done right.
There´s no rep of 40mm sport Rolex that gets it right...I mean, almost.. only ones I could see so far, were MBW´s TT Submariners, and the DEEPSEA V3 (as far as I know)...

Other than that, you can only find it on the 36mm Datejusts and Day-Dates. They have it PERFECTLY aligned, both ROLEXROLEXROLEX and serial number. Just the best that you could ever get. But once again I can talk only about the a21j models of it.

Cheers,

Seems somewhat odd that they can get it almost right for the cheapo models but the higher end models are just wrong. I can stand the serial number being aligned incorrectly but at ROLEX at 9 and 3 just looks bad to me.

Yeah, I feel your pain...

and it´s not only about that...There are some smalls details that I just can´t understand they can´t get right, or do it correctly...like the engraving on the clasps and such things...I really hate to see these flaws on every watch that is released and ALL the "v2, v3, v4, v5.....whatever" that is released after all...

At least with some models, they improve alot...like the DEEPSEA for example..but that´s all.
..The new MILGAUSS too, there´s a factory finally putting a nice engraving on the clasp, but the rehaut alignment is still wrong...WTF... :evil:
