Rolex GMT Master II - I'm down to 3 vendors. Which one should I buy from?

[PeterPotPan]

Greetings! This will be my first replica (well, I technically bought a Panerai about 10 years ago). I have settled on the Rolex GMT Master II in Pepsi. I have spent about 6 hours on every single sticky I can find in this forum and have, for the most part, wrapped my head around most topics on a basic level. However, you don't know what you don't know, hence me making this topic with some questions.

From what I've gathered the Noob factory is no more at the moment, which is seems to be the standard for Rolex replicas. I've found three vendors linked on this site that seem to have the most polished storefronts that carry a Clean Factory and GMF version with the "best" movement "VR3186". I've linked to the three vendor pages I'm considering below:

• InTime
  • GMT Master II 126710 Red/Blue 904L SS Clean Factory 1:1 Best Edition on Oyster Bracelet VR3186 CHS
• PureTime
  • GMT Master II 126710 BLRO 904L SS VRF 1:1 Best Edition on Oyster Bracelet VR3285 CHS V3
• TrustyTime
  • ROLGMT0250C - GMT II 126710 Oys 904L SS/SS Blk GMF V6 VR3186 CHS

I've lurked around various threads about these models and, while learning a lot, also am often left with more questions than answers. Things like Clean Factory vs GMF quality, V3 vs V6, movements not being listed accurately, etc. all have me second guessing before pulling the trigger.

Are there any members here with substantial knowledge on these replicas and vendors (or replicas/vendors that I haven't listed) to help me make the best choice? Are there any little details that I might not have thought of or likely been exposed to? Price isn't much of an object as I want the closet to a Gen as a replica can be (not interested in going the modding route though).

Thank you in advance!

As much as I know by reading through the forum, PureTime would be an good choice. But the other 2 are also TD. So you don‘t do anything wrong with all of them.

i have used Trusty time and Lucy Andrew at trust time was good for me fairly quick delivery and good communication i rejected one watch and it wasn't a problem he send me the QC pictures of a replacement about 2 weeks later which i accepted but the choice is yours

I've always had good success from TrustyTime in the past

All three are good dealers. I have purchased from Trusty for probably 15+ years. I’ve never had an issue that hasn’t been resolved. It’s a very reliable dealer.

I purchased a GMT MASTER II (Clean) 30 days ago. The watch and bracelet are beautifully done. Only magnified can you see the edges of the dial hands showed a bit of roughness. Impressive workmanship and the accuracy has been 2-3 seconds per day !

You necro'ed an almost 2 year old thread. The user to which you responded left only 2 posts and had last logged in on the exact same day he had signed up.

Your post would have been much better placed in a new thread, for example as a review for the TD where you purchased the watch or in the Rolex section in the thread for the Clean GMT II.

It's never good practice to resurrect old and dead threads with generic content, unless you have a very important and specific contribution to the thread's topic.
