Superb work Bonesy. I have the GMT Green 50th and it is a nice rep. The stack not being correct is no prob for me and no one would ever notice, but this review is brilliant.

Sorry for the dumb question, but what do you mean by "the stack not being correct "mean ?

The order of the hands. In a correct hand stack, the hour hand is right at the bottom, closest to the dial, followed by gmt, minute, then seconds (as per gen rolex mvmt).

Incorrect hand stack is when the gmt hand is right at the bottom.

For our reps, the correct handstack mvmt is known to be unstable.

First of all, this is all explained in the WIKI. Which is what it's for. To answer the basic questions.

You really need to go back and read the first post mate, this is all answered there. All of the dealers can get pretty much the same watches. You can quite easily see the differences between the older style and newer ceramic bezel models.

Honestly, I don't know why i go to the effort of writing it all up if no one reads it :lolcina:

I have been reading the forum for several months, this is my first time posting. I just bought a GMT Master II with an A2836-2 movement from Andrew. The watch looks and seems to be operating correctly so far, however the stem feels gritty and makes several clicking sounds when unscrewing or screwing down the crown. Is this normal or not?

Hey Koho47,

I purchased the same on from Andrew last year and mine has never run correctly. It's been back and forth to my repair guy since. Date wheel issues, broken gear wheels and gmt hand issues.
But it does look soooo good when it's on.

I am currently starting a collection of pepsi gmt's from practically all the td's looking for the best version.

Wish me luck.

I think the latest reps are pretty good now.

Why not replace the movement, I've seen them on Ebay for 100-150
