wish i could take macro shots like these.. but then my Exp2 is quite scratched up and with a few dings here and there, it will look like a horror movie to most here.

Beautiful, clear macro shots Bro Manburg.
Makes the rollies even more tempting!
Congrats & enjoy your pieces.
Take care, Ciao!  :thumbsup:

The 'racun' is strong. But I will be stronger, must resist.......

Great pair, very complimenting I must say. Beautiful photography. Must not visit anymore of Manburg's photo threads.  ;D

Damn... Everytime i see pictures like these, the need to splurge on some serious camera gear comes rushing thru my veins...
Nice pics of excellent watches...
Since u have both these watches powered by the same movement, if u were to choose one, which one will be the keeper?
I was initially interested in the coke gmtII but what kinda turns me off is te same dial and hands design. Only difference is the bezel. How different do they wear?

Thanks Hanz.  :Cheers:

I'll need to make a few points clear.

1. The Exp II doesn't share the same movement with the GMT-Master. 16570 uses cal. 3185 whereas the 16700 uses cal. 3175.

2. The primary difference between the two (that I could state off-hand) is that the 3185 has an independent hour hand, as opposed to the 3175. The 3175 however has a quick-set date mechanism.

3. Since they have different movements, the question of choosing one over the other as a keeper, based on movement alone, doesn't arise as I love both. :-*

4. The reason as to why I chose a polar Exp II over a noir one is because the latter, appearance-wise would be too similar to my GMT-Master's but the bezel.

5. I don't actually have any serious camera gear, as my tool is just a run-of-the-mill Canon 500D with kit lens. I don't even have a macro lens for that matter (I used a macro adaptor/converter for the close-ups).

Having said that, I'm happy that you all are happy with the pictures. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the clarification.
I did not realize yours is a 16700...
I thought it was a 16710 using the same 3185 movement.

yes, OT here but what was it? a lens attachment on the front or a tube extension? pretty good pictures indeed!
