I honestly don't understand the fascination of 6 digits GMTs unless the maker can correct at least two things which I think are fundamental:
  1. RELIABLE Correct Hand Stack (CHS) movement - we know the current offering is a Russian roulette
  2. Getting the bi colour bezel "right" - you can't expect to be perfect for a rep, but they Noob can't even get the font and the platinum coating correct for the sub, let alone the GMT..

Still has speed bumps in the 6 and 18. This keeps it from being able to take a paint mod or sputter coat, as those bumps become greatly pronounced.

Insert on the watch below has had a paint mod, look how bad the 6 and 18 look. Aftermarkets come in white, but they can take a paint mod without bumps.

With a lot of work and hassle you can get to an acceptable solution. I don't care about hand stack, it's only a factor 2 hours a day and nobody in my life knows about nor would it matter to me if they did.

ARF is gonna come soon and laugh at these pitiful attempt

We'll see. Their first 8 months of 116610 inserts were all cut off center, the left side nearly touching the crystal. Not too impressive on a first time model release.

Both the color transition points on the insert are wrong. The 6 should be dead center and the 18 should be about 20% into the 8.

That insert is not perfect once you compare with the GEN. Transition at 18 is notorious.

Better than I saw at a first glance.

Interestingly, TS Watch have just added the BP version of this....

https://www.ts-station.cn/goods.php?ProId=25799

That looks like the watch we were initially talking about on page one with the horrid fat numbers and paint flaking.... The GMF version now looks much better albeit with a slight variance in the colour transition at 6 and 18.... thoughts?

https://www.ts-station.cn/goods.php?ProId=25793

448$ with Asian 2836-2 25J Automatic 28.800 ....... it's +40$ than price of GMF version.

¿some comments on that?

BP insert is horrendous with those fat numerals
