Del 4,473 Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) I ordered a Rolex GTM Master II ceramic with Asian copy 2836 movement from Timesshop on Friday 13th August ( ), it was shipped on Wednesday 18th August (slight delay due to weekend and an issue with the EMS postage cost ($10 less than it should have been) applied by their website) and it arrived at my door on Thursday 26th August - 13 days in total from web order to having it on my wrist, although shippping only took 8 days . It was very, very well packaged in two sets of foam sheeting, a polystyrene box and an outer cardboard box, complete with about 3 rolls-worth of yellow packing tape . The watch was encased in clear plastic film, tissue paper and a harder plastic protector around the ceramic bezel. After three hours, I finally found the watch . I don't have the expert knowledge to give a full review of how accurate the crown guards are, etc..... so I'll just show you the photos and let you see for yourself. Suffice to say that in my opinion this watch is utterly gorgeous and is beautifully finished - and all for $128 plus postage. Hope you enjoy the photos.

Del 4,473 Posted August 30, 2010 I've just been window shopping at a few Rolex ADs in Glasgow and saw the gen of my GMT Master II (which I was wearing ) and I couldn't believe that my watch looked exactly the same . The gen was £4,460 . Boy do I feel good today . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bme 4 Posted September 24, 2010 Could you please comment on this asian movement? Is the swiss one more sweeping than this one? Is that the Swiss one that Rolex stick in the watch in Geneva? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve227 0 Posted September 24, 2010 Those pics and the watch look great mate! You should return the favour and sell it to me! Really nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,473 Posted September 24, 2010 Could you please comment on this asian movement? Is the swiss one more sweeping than this one? Honestly, I don't know. It is however a smoother sweep than the 21j movement and, so far, it has kept very good time. I'm delighted with it . Those pics and the watch look great mate! You should return the favour and sell it to me! Really nice. Sorry Steve, I like this one too much . And thanks . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

csxts 0 Posted April 16, 2011 Hey Del, sorry to bump an old thread, it's a beautiful watch indeed. How has it been doing after almost a year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ska 11 Posted April 16, 2011 It was doing great till this week. Looks like either random dirt or Royal Mail. Either way it's been bulletproof up to now and I'll have her right as rain for Del by tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

madigral 0 Posted May 20, 2011 This is the $130 Timesshop version, right? I'm thinking about ordering it but I have one question for you, Del: Does this have 24 click bezel? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never counted how many "clicks" the bezel has but it does turn and it does click! Recently superlumed by Ska too - this is a beauty! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
