Rolexl0ver 0 Posted November 20, 2016 Hey Guys! I've been inactive for about 3 months, but now I am back! As some of you might have heard, the noob factory has/is releasing the GMT Master with a new movement which provides the correct hand stack. I am making this post since I am considering buying one, but hesitating since this seems to be in a very early stage and therefore the movement might be unreliable. What do you guys think? Is it something a should go for? If not, pls refer me to another good rep of "The Batman" (116710 BLNR). Hope you all enjoy the rest of your sunday, cheers.

RepGuy 108 Posted November 20, 2016 I think it's best to wait. Any time a rep maker fuckifies the movement, there is a high probability for issues. If it were me, I would wait until some reviews came out before spending any money on it. ...Or you could get one yourself and give us a review Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RUSH2112 11 Posted November 20, 2016 Did thy invent a new movement or just correct the hand stack? Why would the movement be suddenly unreliable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In this rep, they use the A3186 while I think they use the A2836 in the other Gmt reps From images I've seen of this new 'A3186' it seems to be a decorated A2836-2 with modified gearing for the CHS GMT function. IMO it will more than likely be highly unreliable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,501 Posted November 20, 2016 Did thy invent a new movement or just correct the hand stack? Why would the movement be suddenly unreliable? Because the old one already added 3 gears to have the GMT. The new one, that has the hour hand on the special gear used previously for the GMT, must have seriously changed the gear to gear ratio and this may potentially affect how the movement works. Knowing how the previous was done, this minimum has 5 gears with new mods. But they could be up to 7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they just switched the hand posts modifying the gear ratio, but the base remains a 2836. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSJ 0 Posted November 20, 2016 This will be interesting. Looking forward to more details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,501 Posted November 20, 2016 Yes, it is a modified 2836. These are from this CHS watch at toro site: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightGeek 25 Posted November 20, 2016 Aaaaaaand because they somehow managed to get the CHS, a small little detail that just about nobody would realistically notice (or care) beyond the owner -- it will carry an astounding price premium. My guess, but let's see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My guess, but let's see. Someone from RWI said that they're going to be cheaper than the current versions. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theslavetrainer 0 Posted November 21, 2016 Apologies-I know it's a rep, and that it doesn't have a clear case back - I am now going to take my meds , and slink off and die Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rawbaws 91 Posted November 21, 2016 Well I dunno it looks blah, specially on a clear case back.......� Well, no rolex should have a clear case back. If you are referring to the look of a DJ2813 used in millions upon millions of reps, It is made that way to look like TRY and look like a sub movement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rawbaws 91 Posted November 21, 2016 But I agree - rolex movements are designed to be reliable work horses - not pieces of art like other watchmakers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
