Stunning!
A reason to always go for box and papers when buying pre-owned
Hey bud. Also the date window is too far to the right I think. And nothing can fix that. I would enjoy it as is or upgrade to a better rep.I decided to dip my toe in the GMT waters to see if I would like it - I picked one up from the excellent WBK who had it in my hands in no time. After wearing it for a while I think I've officially been bitten by the GMT bug.
I do like the WBK one that I got, and it was great value for money. The case, the bracelet, the SEL fitment are good. There are some things that I have noticed that I am hoping might be fixable or not present in a higher-end rep of the 116710.
- the bezel insert alignment is off. this isn't terrible day to day because I can keep it "between" clicks to line it up properly, but I would prefer that it be lined up. Can this be fixed?
- the cyclops is a little bit crooked. assuming this can be fixed, especially since I suppose I could just get a replacement crystal put on
- the rotor is very loud. I would want to replace the movement or at least see if lubricating the rotor helped this. I am not really bothered by the ICHS (i'd rather have a more reliable movement than CHS, but if there is a reliable CHS movement out there I would probably go for it), but I would like to have a high-beat movement in this, either by replacing it or buying a higher quality rep
- the spring bars were flimsy. that was easily remedied.
So, some questions for the GMT experts:
- do you think the things I listed above would be remedied by buying something like http://puretime03.com/watch-brands/...ck-ceramic-11-noob-best-edition-a2836-v2.html ?
- is the movement in the newer CHS versions more reliable? judging from what i have read in this thread that's an open question (i assume)
- additionally, i really like the looks of the 16710. Looking at this page though - http://puretime03.com/watch-brands/rolex/gmt-master-ii/gmt-master-ii-black-bezel.html# there is not a ton of information about the movement etc, so I am hesitant. any recommendations on a TD for a good 16710LN rep?
Whole heartily agree.Hey bud. Also the date window is too far to the right I think. And nothing can fix that. I would enjoy it as is or upgrade to a better rep.
There is no good 16710 . Your best bet is a modded 1675 in terms of an accurate rep.

that would be a little drastic. i sold it on M2M. I am working on getting a noob version with the CHS and a prof crystal, then maybe a gen bezel if i can find a good price on one.
Edit: misread your question.Hello,
I wonder which Rolex GMT is the best rep out there, and most gen like?
I found this one at ttw, what do you think guys? -> http://www.ttw-138.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_5&products_id=16693
Your first post, and your asking "the" question...
In all reality you first must know if you are after a 5 digit or 6 digit sub.
Judging from the link you provided, it appears you are wanting a 6 digit.
I will tell you that Noob Factory currently makes the best overall 6 digit sub.
With that said go here and look at our Trusted Dealers websites, and find the Noob V7.
You also need to decide on which movement to go with.
Mov't. choices are A2836 or SA3135, I won't explain the difference...
General rule of thumb is never pay for the swiss upgrade.
Then you need to decide which color, green or black.
These are some of the useful links that will provide you with some basic knowledge needed to become more educated on this hobby:

Well in that case the Noob CHS (just released) is the best choice imo: http://chazingtime.co/product/gmt-m...1-noob-best-edition-a3187-correct-hand-stack/Thank you for the information above - very helpful pages which I will read.
Unfortunaly, the Noob V7 is a Submariner and I'm looking for a GMT model. Im not asking for the best gen like watch but the best GMT model.
Have they fixed the bezel in that latest version . ..? The ceramic paint in the 6 was a big put off.
If you referring to the batman bezel then no... as far as I'm aware it's still not right.
