LightGeek 25 Posted June 28, 2013 This has always been my grail piece. The detail, AR, and general construction make it an exquisite piece. Bought the original at $300+ at the beginning of my rep journey. The gray one is a Tony Special. I spent all of 2 minutes trying to see if there were differences but other than the dial color and price, they are pretty much the same. This may be one of those where I keep two of the same... Black/White Explorer II, Yellow/Blue Superocean Abyss 42mm, and now this. Few older pics from my other Star Chrono thread... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeterPotamus 2 Posted June 28, 2013 they look great, enjoy them, as long as you have them... LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted June 28, 2013 Agreed, they do look nice. Better on the wrist too. Have you compared to gen to see how accurate they are? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightGeek 25 Posted June 28, 2013 Agreed, they do look nice. Better on the wrist too. Have you compared to gen to see how accurate they are? They're pretty good. The biggest tell is the GMT dial. The reps are starburst coarse finished but the gen is smooth. Even so, there's so much going on in this watch that no one will "call you out"... Especially since they've likely never seen one in their life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted June 28, 2013 Cool, pretty close then, I wonder if the gen has a small mag/crystal in that deep date window? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deathnote 0 Posted June 28, 2013 I've checked a couple of TD site and one shows it as 42mm while another 43mm, which is it ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deathnote 0 Posted June 28, 2013 I've checked a couple of TD site and one says its 42mm while another 43mm, which is it ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightGeek 25 Posted June 28, 2013 Cool, pretty close then, I wonder if the gen has a small mag/crystal in that deep date window? Probably just a better date wheel. With less than 2000 pcs made, I don't think anyone here or you meet will ever know. I've checked a couple of TD site and one shows it as 42mm while another 43mm, which is it ? It's 42mm spec'd.

MD2020 0 Posted June 28, 2013 I love the detail in the dial and the cut out at 12. It looks great. I wonder if they still make this rep? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E.R. 0 Posted June 28, 2013 True beauties! Real class. Pics are amazing too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightGeek 25 Posted June 28, 2013 I love the detail in the dial and the cut out at 12. It looks great. I wonder if they still make this rep? New versions? Probably not. Still available? Yep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightGeek 25 Posted June 28, 2013 There is so much detail it's astonishing. The bracelet is chiclet-like with each link brushed but also polished edges. This is probably the only rep bracelet (non-Rolex) that I didn't need to sand/round some sharp edges. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
late 0 Posted June 29, 2013 stupid question: How do you set the GMT disk? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightGeek 25 Posted June 29, 2013 Like most other GMTs... move to date setting on the stem and turn the other way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
