GMF New Release @ Trusty Time!
Explorer II 226570 with VR3285 movement

GMF has released their latest upgraded Explorer II 226570 with the VR3285 movement.

Factory says that it is made 1:1 with a genuine as reference.

Get Yours Today!

FINALLY! Looks very good, the markers aren't grey on the Polar. Looks like they reduced the diameter of the orange GMT hand hole surround so it's not so obnoxiously visible anymore. Yay!

Any chance of more pics and a video Andrew?

Now we need one with the DD3285!!

That I would buy for sure and franken it.

had me at NOT grey markers!

Very interesting indeed. But I would very much like to see a version with the DD3285 movement. And of course the date is still in the wrong place... but getting the date in the right place would require a large date disk version of either the DD3285 (a man can dream can't he?) or VR3285.

Comparison of levels of greyness of markers:

I know I’ll regret asking because I can’t unsee it once I know… what do you mean by the date? Bigger date disk putting the numbers in the right position of the window?

Bro this model looks like it has the proper (larger diameter) date plate and datewheel.

Shown next to the dismal JVSF

And next to Gen

Yeah as I posted all the pics for the grey lume, I was second guessing myself. But I think you’re right. Exciting times indeed.

ordered

 

[RDRoss]

Sigh. And I thought May was going to be the one month I didn’t buy 3 watches. Of to Trusty to order. I have a nice orange rubber b strap in mind for this one.

Those of you who ordered from Trusty, could you please keep us updated? I am really interested in this model but would like to see more pictures besides the 'factory stock' photos used by trusty.

Are the VR3285 and the SH3285 the same movement btw?
(Sorry if it might be obvious, as I am a rookie when it comes to movements)

Yup. Same movements.

Yup they are the same. Here’s a guide to the clone movements found in Rolex reps:

Thank you guys for the replies and for the link about the clone movements.

 

[EstebanMcQueen]

Long time lurker on this forum. I can’t wait for this one. The second I got the email newsletter from Trusty, I had to come here and check what the experts were saying.
I will definitely get one, I do prefer the black dial. Everyone seems to prefer the white dial. Why is that?

 

[jamesezra]

Very tempted to order the Polar. Like what most of you have pointed out earlier, it's either the grey markers, unstable GMT movement, or even the atrocious bezel numbers that put me off precious versions.

Now... This... I'm tempted.

 

[dogwood]

I’m very tempted by this… the only thing giving me pause is the prospect of a DD3285 version of the Explorer II.

Agreed. I want this movement in a polar. The new GMF does look promising.
