I wonder if Rolex would issue a special sub to the troops for this invasion, and if so, would the factorys have the balls to actually rep it during the conflict?


Yes.

Well, looking at Hont´s album, this GMT with "3186 ripoff" have the same case, rehaut, and bracelet than the all-time available GMTs.. Same Z serial on the rehaut, same shitty engraving on the bracelet.

IF they had corrected that on the new versions...a Asia 2836 with updated rehaut and bracelet would be doable, but paying more just for a crappy bridge on the movement, or whatever, is a no no.

Cheers,
Spirit.

The Andrew and Josh team ?
Are they Asian(Chinese) ?.....just curious
or merely Anglos that have sites and connects for great prices on volme and drop shipped from China sold retail to us?

If not Asia

Where would their domain / bank be....... to stay ahead of the law?

They are Chinese. Domain in China. Using third party CC processor... Hell, nowadays everything is possible online. Bank can be in Singapore, China, Cayman Islands... you name it. May even be UBS or Zurich Bank.

Back to the topic, this movement is no better than an Asian clone.
