So the V5 is practically the best out of box rep?
No need for any DW or cyclops alignment?

On the gmt. I really doubt anyone can spot the handstack I owned a Gen gmt and never really focused on the order that the hands were in. And I consider myself a enthusiast. So don't let the incorrect hand stack stop u. It's a flaw. But not one that screams at u.

Correct. I have the gen 16570 and 216570 and I don't pay attention to the hand stack either. And you'll only notice it when the gmt and hour hands are on top of one another.

The dwo is never perfectly aligned on a 116610 rep

I get that. That's why I was planning to go with bk's sub to begin with.

Only question remains now for me before I pull the trigger is whether it's worth to pay the extra for a Swiss ETA. And also whether to wait till bk gets the v5 to mod or just go with the current batch of v4s.

Apparently the v5 bezel is more accurate to the gen as it has platinum painting on the markers that makes it silver instead of the plain white ones on the v4. But then Ive been reading about how the SELs on the v5 is worst of than the v4.

What do you guys think?

I'm in your same situation, so i'm waiting till bk gets the V5. According to me, infact, the bezel is a bigger tell than the SELs.

i think it is better to get the GMTii,because the sub's pearl is usually an obvious tell

I like my bk v4. Don't get mixed up with waiting for the better version. There will always be pros and cons. Just buy one and wear it well.

It is?

Gtm II

Go with the 116610LN. It is more accurate then the other 2 options. I have one on order with a TD and should be getting it shortly.

 

[pamegalex]

Yup its decided guys. 116610LN it is!

Now its just a matter of BK's modded sub-c or the new v5. So far its leaning more towards the v5 from all the comments and opinion gathered around here

 

[pamegalex]

Actually stuff it, I'm gonna get both lol.

After seeing someones new GMT-II I think it's a must in the collection. Question now is just which one to get first..

Agree 100%. I have a gen explorer II, never even knew the hand stack order until I came here. It's a non-issue, even enthusiasts don't always know the order, it's a lot of conversation about something very silly IMO. I feel like you have to be paranoid and worried about being "exposed" to care that much.
