MKii LRRP has arrived.

[EdHughes1]

Following on from my recent thread this is what I ended up getting:





MKii LRRP. Here are the specifications pinched from another site:

Case Diameter: 41.75 mm
Case Height: 13.5 mm
Case length: 49.5 mm
Lug Width: 22 mm
Movement: ETA 2893-2 automatic Elabore Grade, independently adjustable GMT hand
Case material: 316L stainless w/ screw down back and HRV
Crown: Screw down
Bezel: Uni-directional
Crystal: AR coated sapphire
Water resistance: 300m

This one came from the original purchaser complete with all the extra bits and bobs, and dates from 2010, with a fairly rare custom combination of baton hands and a 60 minute divers bezel which I like. Most others have either the same hands in conjunction with the 24 hour GMT bezel, or the Milsub style sword hands with the divers bezel.

Timekeeping is -2 seconds over the last 24 hours too.

really nice, but I would love it more in a more rolex like size

Nice pickup. Used to own the same watch. Love the size!!

[NenoS]

Nice indeed.
Congrats and enjoy.

I think that's an excellent choice and just nicely left-field.

Well done on the purchase.

Looks good, and from what I understand Bill Yao makes great quality stuff. Just wish it had a GMT bezel, instead of the diver's

Thanks. Whilst I like GMT watches I don't actually need to know the time in a second time zone, so therefore the divers bezel is actually of more use to me for timing things on occasion.

Perhaps the bezel or insert could be swapped for the GMT version but it's not something I plan to do.

That is a handsome watch you've got there sir!

Totally understand, and I also find a timing bezel more useful. Just don't get the point of the GMT hand with no 24 hour reference on dial or bezel.

Mind you, there are no specific hour references on the dial either!

True :-D

Great choice, enjoy!

I had a Kingston and I really enjoyed it, plus i have another watch from MKii pre ordered (gmt panam)
