Mk ii gmt

Hello all. What's I see people's experience with MKII watches, specifically the Key West GMT? It look like the legendary Rolex Pan Am GMT, which I will probably never get to see in person, let alone own one. I also could not go for a "Frankenwatch" with an Explorer dial put on a GMT.

The 2017 Wristwatch Annual places it at $1,595 new. It has a Caliber ETA 2893-2 automatic movement.

For the record I own two Rolexes and my husband has a 16710 GMT 2 and a Sub. I am not a fan of "homage" watches, but this is of something so extraordinarily rare. It's not an Invicta take on a Sub. In fact, there's a good chance that most people looking at the watch wouldn't know that Rolex made the Pan Am GMT.

Bill Yao's watches is very well made. He is fighting with long delivery time because he is a perfectionist and he never
let a not perfect watch leave to a customer. I will say you got a great product for the money.

Avoid MK II and get something from a real watchmaker instead, or just save your money. No point in bothering with an unoriginal knockoff.
