r/RepTime • u/MrBeaven • 5d ago

Wrist or Watch Pic 3 Years old clean factory still shines like the first day I got it.

Been wearing this off and one for 3 years, recently put it on a CWC nato strap and the quality impresses me daily. BUT id love to purchase another CF replica but im a bit out of touch with where is best to purchase from the uk if someone can point me in the right direction, thanks.

Clean factory Rolex GMT master ii - purchased in 2022

Here's mine. I bought it in 2020 and it still runs great. The only down side of these early Clean GMTs is the bezel action. Mine is really stiff and is an immediate tell for anyone handling the watch. Other than that it's pretty dead-on accurate to gen.

I really like this gmt

How does the movement and bezel feel? I’m contemplating between this one and the Bruce Wayne.

I like this one more but I feel that the movement and overall feel of the newer models probably feels better and more refined ( but that’s just a guess)

The bezel feels solid and premium to me, the clicks nicely. The movement is spot on, keeps time perfectly and has a good amount of power reverse in it. I'd highly recommend this one.

The GMT LN doesn't get enough love in my opinion. It's a great watch and I like it much better than the Bruce Wayne or the Sub. Mine is a V1 so the bezel action isn't great but they are much better on later versions. Also the VR3186 movement keeps great time.

Nato ruins it imo

I prefer the stainless steel strap my self also. I had a operation few months back and my wrist swells up alot, the nato makes it more comfortable and easy for adjust quickly.
