Wow interesting bro
but what about rolex print? Does the 11xxxx with that bold letters exist? I know that they changed it on 12xxxx but maybe im wrong,you know better

Bold / light dial printing is all over the place on the gen - it has little to do with intention and everything to do with chance/ variation. + its been seen a few times that the quality of dial printing on reps has been bettter than gen. It really is the very last thing people should worry about.

This ^

Unless it says POLEX or has an obvious letter flaw like the famous ZZF 'X' flaw, you gotta let some of that OCD go bro. Rolex lets it go all the time!

Oh yes it does exist
this LN from cf looks amazing
this is gen with newer rolex fonts

But but but... that one has Roman numeral II with non-bold green font. The CF has rectangular II, Arghhh!

That's what I meant about enough dial variations bro. You are right, the CF can pass as one, its good!

Hmm i think i will try sourcing a dial and hands for my arf with gen bezel assembly and crystal. I really love that watch but i just cant stand the arf markers :D i think keeping the arf hands is not an option due to lume color.

I got the new CF GMT, I don't know it looks beautiful but unfortunately I don't see the flaws, only the glass that instead of being sapphire looks like plastic, it shines very little

Yes another tell is the small crown on the dial at 6pm. That's what differentiates a 116710 from a 126710

They got a corrected example for me, looks good

Sorry Tobel, accidentally quoted you, my first example had white font on the GMT MASTER ll print instead of the correct green color.

Good day gentlemen,

I read all the comments, but did not find info on what kind of movement is in this one. Is it still the one that is a time-bomb, if I recall right, because of flawed click-spring?

RetFed did you receive yours? How are you liking it?

Thanks!
