This is a damn good improvement over the initial metal insert. Looks like a copy of the v1 126710, I’m sure it’ll take a few versions to nail the color of the v2.

Such an improvement. I have a version with a metallic bezel and it's really visible in certain lighting.

Thanks guys.

Really curious about the insert on this, toro tells me it's one piece.

What have the QC's issues been?

Line at 6 and 18 on the bezel.
Cyclops totally crooked

Thats about it for me.

Does anyone know if GMF or any other factory is working on an updated rep with the “mk2” darker ceramic bezel? This one is really close to the original”mk1”, but I really prefer the darker one.

For reference (mk1 on the left, mk2 on the right)

Ovetall very nice looking piece, thanks for the pics. One gripe I have though, is that the bezel colours look way more saturated than gen to me. Why is everyone saying that the colors on the last versions are spot on is beyond me - am I not seeing something? Is it a light trick?

There are 2 versions of the gen bezel. The GMF is similar to the earlier version. The pics you see on instagram are mostly the 2nd gen with darker blue and red. The 1st gen were more of a pastel blue and red

a quick image pull off the internet - I don't think the gen is retouched like on many of the still life shots will be.

colour looks in the same ball park - I'd give it a pass...

Exactly.
GMF is close to Gen 1st version, not 2nd version wich is much darker
