I am struggling to get the paint mod to stick on the triangle. Any tips to improve the bonding?

The best Batman insert. Blue is like a gen!

It looks great! the 1’s on this insert are better than the one I linked before. Soon you’ll be scratching and painting!

I just hope I get the one pictured. Sometimes there are variations in batches and they don't update the photos. It's going back if not exactly as pictured.

Do any of the experts here know how the high-end rep version of the Rolex Pepsi compare to the gen? Is it close or bad like BLNR? Thanks!

Funny enough , given how coveted the blnr is I’m surprised someone from any of the forums hasn’t taken the entrepreneurial approach to source a process to create a more gen like insert. I don’t have knowledge, but I assume some forum members may have the resources to sort out a better insert. The demand is there. And there’s currently few competitors.

I dont know. Just a drunk pre-thanksgiving thought.

Sure, I'll post pics. I think the blue color is going to be the same on all these from ebay.it Some have better quality pics from vendor.In the pic below, the one I brought is on the bottom (larger). The smaller one on top is the one that was sold out.

The one I got has more gen-like 1's, and the markers are slightly fatter.

Those pics are terrible, hard to make any kind of judgment. But compare the numeral 1 in 12 to those in 10 and 14. It looks like a different serif altogether (the tick on top of the 1). The 12 has a horizontal component to the serif, wth?

This is one watch worth buying in gen considering Rolex has discontinued it from its printed catalogue. It's only a matter of time this will disappear from the Rolex website.
