Do you mean LRRP (Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol)?  I love my MKII Stingray but feel the LRRP is way overpriced...I was hoping the Debaufre would be bringing out that new NAV GMT...still waiting!

I personally have had good luck with the modified 2836 on the Bernhardt Globemester than I own, but understand that the modification is Asian and not done by ETA...therefore, it is not a true Swiss Movement.  The ETA 2836 is their "Day/Date" movement and the "day" wheel is modified to function as a GMT complication.
