What happen to the watch if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Jean-Francois]

i have purchase a omega seamaster 007 50 th anni with swiss eta 2824 inside . the watch was stopping at 45 mark or 9 hr all the time i have took it to a horloger and he told me the movement was a swiss all right but fitted with some junk parts so i had to send it back too the TD and 5 week have past still no news from HIM . did not got my watch still,

I just gotten my explorer 2! Loving the watch. However, can anyone teach me how to adjust the gmt hand? Or can it even be adjusted at all? Thanks

 

[AllergyDoc]

In the position you change the date, the second position, rotate the crown the opposite way to adjust the GMT hand.

 

[Pumper]

Ole! Thanks AllergyDoc!

I've read the entire thread twice, and also did a couple of searches throughout the entire forum, but couldn't find what I was looking for.
Can anyone tell me the difference between the $148 Explorer II (for example on Tony's site) and this one, other than the fact that this is Noob Factory and the other is not and that the Noob is a 2836 movement, rather than the $148 one which is A2813? I'm trying to see the justification of the difference of $100 between the two, and I can't really see it by comparing the pictures on the site.

Thanks!

The difference is that these higher-end Noob versions have better QC and attention to detail. The case shape is also more accurate on Noob. The movement is much better as well.

I own watches from both BP and Noob and my observation is that while both look good Noob seems to try harder. both of my BPs have innacuracies. Sure it's never 100% but it is a rep. Seems these are beautiful watches with reliable movements (although the gmt feature is a mod based on the day mechanism (2836) and it may be prone to issues but none serious.

just got mine in from Toro.... simply amazing! It's way more than I could have asked for and it feels so solid in the hand and on the wrist.

All thanks to this thread!

Hi Madmex,
Thanks for your response! That was very helpful, and gave me considerable information in helping me with making a decision on which one to purchase.
