Received GMT-Master II 116710 BLNR Black/Blue Ceramic 1:1 Noob Best Edition A3187 (Correct Hand Stack) A3186 from puretime.

This is not a professional watch review, i just want to share the watch photo for those who plan to buy this watch. FYi, i'm quite new in this replica stuff, and i do not have gen GMT Master II (batman) to compare with. Price from puretime is USD418 and took approx 2weeks to receive the watch.

General observation:
- Movement quite smooth. Similar with my gen tudor black bay.
- adjusting the date is very easy and smooth, however the hour hand will move together if adjusting the GMT and minute (saw from youtube, on the gen, hour hand is static during minute and GMT adjustment)
- The boundary between blue and black on the bezel no 18 is not correct (can refer to the correct boundary on Rolex official website)
- I'm not sure about the bezel quality, color, etc if compare with gen.

that visible line through the 8 & 6, yuck.
font is still wrong on the bezel numbers as well.

gen bezel is still a must for the gmt. unfortunately finding a gen batman is near impossible.

The colour bleed on the bezel is well known and hopefully they will correct it in the future, until then we are stuck with it as it is.
I have seen a few members over on RG have them redone to correct it however.

The Gen BLNR is around if you are happy to pay over retail though, as I have a few friends that picked them up.
Otherwise, the reps are pretty good.
Lovely watches though, gen or rep.
Enjoy bud.

This is mine. I bought like 2 weeks ago. The boundary on 18 is correct. The biggest flaw is the line on 6.
We should have the same $418 Chs version. It seems that we have different watches

Where did you get your one from? I'm interested in picking one up for myself too! I've seen a mod where they use chemical metal to fix the 18 and 6 (http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=130389). Looks like a good solution! I'm more concerned about the boundary.

Would love to own one, but for now I need to read up on what I can do to fix the bezel temporarily :)

I'd buy one but I'm concerned about those movements.

I wish i copied the link for the ebay listing, gen insert for batman i saw was 1700$ without the assembly just insert. If only it was 1000$ i probably would have purchased but of course it went up like crazy... makes me sick because it was "right there". That has got to be one of the hottest inserts atm :(

Hey guys,

I see this thread is a little older, but I hope someone is on the watch.. I recently got a Batman myself with chs and it’s currently beeing serviced since the movement is loud and not very nice once you get the watch. But the real problem I have with my timepiece is the bracelet. I have a Submariner V7 too and it’s bracelet feels a lot better. The Batman bracelet feels lighter and more rattling than the v7s. Is that a thing you guys can confirm or is it just me?

Thanks in advance:)
