I've just purchased this one (mine died too): https://www.helenarou.com/hangzhou-6460-automatic-gmt-movement-date-at-300-eta-283646030028362.html
i'm getting it fitted next week, will let you know how it goes.

Sorry for the noob question but, when a mov die you can't just service it?

Don't be scared, the GMT is a great rep, one of my best reps.

Hi there. Received my QC pics and as I see form the pic the 6 marker is very much slanted/misaligned. Have requested few more pics, in the meantime cnlan you guys assist in confirming the same from the pic received.

From this pic, at least, it seems the whole bezel is misalignes as well.

ZF is known for this type of problem. They make nice watches but their QC is non-existent.

I had the same issue with the qc i got 3 days ago.
Wonky markers
Bezel and dial not centered
It's a superb watch but i'll wait a v2 with hopefully CHS.
Switched to a BB instead.

Is it difficult to replace the movement for an asian/eta 2836 with GMT complication watch if it breaks down? I'm new to GMT reps and I'd like to pick one of these up, but not if it would be hard to fix

Here is the video from QC, shall I accept it? Or shall wait for V2 and any news on the same as of today?

I think my post #166 clearly states the question.

Nobody tends to read back. My intention is not to give you are a hard time. Just enlighten you of the QC photo rules that get the boss involved.

Just ordered from TD, can't wait to get. Anyone know how waterproofed it is? Says 30m from factory but don't know how much to trust that. Has anyone gone swimming with this on? Or is it only safe for a little water like washing hands? Cheers

I wouldn't try to swim or wash my hands with a rep waterproofed by the factory.
Some did washing their watches just like op without fearing to damage it... but i would not.

Looks amazing, always admired Tudors GMT

Just wondering, any news on version 2 release by ZF!?

Yeah, I’d like to know if there’s a V2 in the works - hopefully with correct handstack.

CHS is a long way away. The only CHS movement is a modified A2836 that Noob is making currently. ARF is supposedly working on a real clone movement with CHS but no sign of it at all.

Can one take the modified movement that Noob is making and put it inside the BB GMT? Would I have to buy new hands?
