The pictures depicted a more accurate and complete booklet and box set (which was not what I received). My GMT is out of COSC and ran 10 seconds fast from the time I received it and still does today. My Sub-C card was signed and dated even though it was brand new. It came from an Italian AD but I got the stock paper carrier instead of the leather paper carrier which european AD's provide. I cannot recommend a future purchase from Sant Blanc. I definitely see the value in an AD. Just my personal experiences.

I had a similar experience. Recently purchased a GMT II. The transaction was okay. The exterior condition of the watch was close to flawless. However, the watch has been running outside of COSC spec at +10 to +11 seconds fast per day since I got it. I had read nothing but good reviews in the past which gave me the comfort to buy from SB but not sure about the quality control.
