That's partially true but I honestly don't think my Rolex reps (ARF V3 Hulk, TC FD Yachtmaster, JF Explorer I, DSSD James Cameron ARF v2 ) have the same physical presence as my gen GMT IIC. Obviously the closest to gen is the TC followed by the Explorer. I sold a gen Explorer to fund a couple of Grand Seikos and the rep does the job but definitely lacks the lustre that gold markers bring to the dial. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a big Luminox fan, especially because it's easy to find them on the cheap nowadays. Haven't seen this model before, is it older/discontinued? Very sharp!

Thinwrist 66 Posted November 15, 2020 Thanks. Yes it’s an older discontinued one. Probably 15 years old or so already. 17 minutes ago, FunnyStarSystem said: I'm a big Luminox fan, especially because it's easy to find them on the cheap nowadays.

Wow, given the tritium half life I'm guessing it's rather dim at this point? I have an 8 year old Colormark that is very dim already, but it's the nature of tritium tubes and it doesn't bother me much because I still love the aesthetics.

Buddhabar 4,545 Posted November 16, 2020 [mention=24370]Buddhabar[/mention] cheers, you get a lot for your money with Clemens over at H2O watches . +1I have always observed with great interest the H2O watches ... really impressive divers with unusual aesthetics. But for 2000 euros, I would buy a nice Oris depth gauge ... another piece of prestige. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
