Hi,
I have owned the gen GMT II master which I bought new in 2007. I loved the watch and wore it pretty much daily until I parted with it recently to get some funds in. I missed having it in the collection so bought a BK GMT master II from a friend in the states which arrived a few days ago. I have to say it measures up to the gen pretty damn well and although I think BK GMT II's are getting a little difficult to find I would definitely recommend one if you are looking for gen like Rep of this model. As with any Rep you are never going to find one without its flaws next to a gen but I'm impressed with this and you certainly won't be disappointed if you can find one. I can post you some more pictures if you are interested in seeing it in a bit more detail

Tell me what you think when you set the time. My heart stops every time, the movement looks so fragile when you set up the hour hand... !
With all the issues around the CHS noob BLNR model at the moment, I went and grabbed a noob V2 BLNR from Toro, which arrived last week and is schweeet! US$158+shipping really well spent. When they fix the bezel and all the CHS issues I might upgrade. Might.

I have a doubt: i don't want trouble with CHS reliability, the GMT A2836 https://www.intime01.co/rollie/2605...1-noob-best-edition-on-ss-bracelet-a2836.html has the same improvement (crystal, dial, bracelet) than A3186 or it is a previous version?
and the which is the movement A3187? on intime I can't see that movement.

My dream was to own a gen of the Pepsi. That is until I saw the price of the gen yesterday during my visit to the Rolex boutique. Shocking! LOL. So now I plan on getting a rep of the GMT Master II Pepsi... But which is the best one available now? Noob or BP? And how is the quality of the ceramic bezel? And does the GMT function work?

If you are after the GMT-II 16710 Pepsi then I read most aren't great reps... but I also read BP make the best of that bunch. The 16710 comes with an aluminium bezel too.
If you're after ceramic you'll be choosing from a 116710 series, typically LN or the BLNR. There is no actual 'Pepsi' 116710 rep made at the moment, and the 'Coke' ones are fantasy models. If you take a look at the GENs, there is a 116710 BLRO which is technically a 'Pepsi', but its bezel is faded blue and almost a pink-red, and it really looks a poor successor to the Pepsi 16710, which is a classic and highly sought after, even in rep-world!
I'd say go for a 116710 LN or BLNR, or look at the BP 16710 Pepsi models. Good luck!
Which TD has the best example of the black, Hulk,Kermit sub mariner date.. thanks for you help!

Would be great if someone can do a review of the BP 16710 Pepsi, since reading this thread have been obsessively looking for a 16710

Which is the best batman rep out there without CHS? I don't care as much about the hand stack, but I do care about accuracy and reliability, which the latter is faltering on with CHS.

@yesgary: Very nice........can you confirm this is the one with A2813 movement ?
Yes that is the one I purchased. Turns out (via the input of other more knowledgeable members here
) that the movement is actually a GMT-specific 3804B movement, but is just advertised as a 2813.Just did the silver paint bezel mod to it and it rocks- love it!!
Hmmmm.... sure it is a DG 3804B movt?Yes that is the one I purchased. Turns out (via the input of other more knowledgeable members here

Does look like a steal at that price. How does the 2813 movement feel? Never been a fan tbh - but if it works and the rest of the watch is decent build quality, I could be tempted.
I tried a gen LN on yesterday - was surprised that the Arabic numerals on the bezel looked more white than silver; anyone else noticed that on the gen?

I'm not sure personally but some other members here said it was- apparently a solid native GMT movement used at this level.
The movement is great- loses 15secs a day (out of the box- I'll get around to getting it adjusted), and all works well. As I say, for the $$$ it rocks
And yes, the GEN platinum is almost white in certain light.
