GMF BLRO Ceramic Pepsi gen vs rep

[YellingYellowLlama]

Thank you guys this explains so much! I had no idea there were two different gen versions. Shame because I guess I like the second one better but great to know how the reps are much more accurate tha I thought!

Pepsi just arrived.

Looks like you got a good one. Seems like a high percentage of these get rejected for white lines at the color transitions on the insert. Too bad, I've seen a lot more bad ones than good.

So the gmf insert is like the white gold version? And the baselworld showpiece of the BLRO in stainless?

Here look at this vid comparing gen vs GMF

​​​​​​I bought the damn gmf watch because accurate or not it is dang sexy and the most desired watch in my book!
now the qc and the waiting game!

Oh and beware everyone, the photo comparaison on the OP is misleading BS as they changed the color balance to make it look more purpleish and making us believe this bezel is close to the actual gen. Anyway I prefer this red and blue to the actual gen hahaha.

It looks just dang sexy dude! I can't wait!
in the Chinese video they looks so much alike in shape and shine. The bracelet looks very nice.

Maybe is not 100% accurate, but believe I am more than happy with it, I was doubting about the line between both colors, but without any zoom you don't see anything of the line. I am going to put some blue car wax in the union and see if it loose the white minimal line.
The quality for me is great, the clasp in my case feel strong with no play or gaps.
The only thing that I did, was put some liquid silicone to the bezel to make turn more easy, after that it turns very good. Maybe is the only thing that they can do better, but after the silicone feels good.
In general aspects, I can recommend it, in fact I will get the GMF Batman to.
I am very satisfied with my Pepsi.
I have also a Noob GMT TT.

Can anyone comment on the bracelet quality, and how does the bezel rotation feel?

I just got mine yesterday. The bezel binds often. it feels cheap. also, my crystal was not pressed properly. the date side is about 1.5mm higher than the 9'oclock side. this magnifies the date way out of proportion.

oh wow , that's a really scathing review.......almost pulled the trigger and am now looking for more reviews

2 very contrasting reviews there. Has anyone else got one of these to hand?

 

[the_don_robinson]

Have ordered one with Jtime! Waiting on QC so will be a while before in hand !

Yes, I’m disappointed. I rejected the first watch when I received QC pics. The first one had a very noticeable line where the blue and red join on the ceramic, and there was a blotch over “14” on the bezel.

As for the one now in my possession, in addition to my misaligned crystal, it appears the bezel mount was pressed unevenly which is why it binds after 180 degrees of rotation. I’d make sure your TD thoroughly inspects the bezel action.

My BLRO is on the way. I ordered from PureTime and asked nicely in the comments to please secure one with straight indices and no line between the blue and red on the bezel.

Sure enough, first watch they got for me looked awesome. Can't wait for it to get here. PureTime always takes care of me when I request it, love buying from them

 

[cannockwolf]

Can you put an oyster bracelet on this?

 

[Hotbmwm3]

I’m delighted with mine

great service from TS

i specified pre purchase that I would reject any QC pics that had a visible line on the bezel and there wasn’t any issue with the first watch presented

I can’t pick a fault with it

 

[rcom440]

Let see some pictures guys.

 

[armenator]

Hi everyone,
Ordered one from trusty and have received QC pictures and rejected them 2 times due to visible separation line at 6. Anyone else has the same problem? Would appreciate any feedback and suggestions.
