No More Time Bombs, VRF just released 1st fully cloned 3186 and 116710LN

[jcher]

WOW !! I can't wait, I was about to start a hybrid 3185... I guess I won't!

 

[mari115]

This is amazing!!!!
So, question for the experts:

If I wanted to go for a 16710 project, what case should I use? Apparently the only way to do it would be using a JF sh3135 16610 case, then go and make someone add some material to CGs and lugs, and then work on it in order to recreate a correct 16710 case, am I wrong? Is there a better way? Do you know if there is someone who does this?

Seems like a lot of work in order to get a nice 16710 CHS that doesn’t suck ass

Just placed an order on one.

400USD including shipping - I ain't complaining. From my WeChat-dealer!

Wow real clone movt finally. It does look good indeed.

Priced right too. Is $400 what our TDs will sell it for?

Gamechanger!

will swap all the parts from my Noob 904l Franken to VRF ...

- Gen Bezel/Inlay
- Gen Crystal
- Gen Date
- Gen Hands (arrive tomorrow)
- ARF Clasp (from Daytona - Code 7CD) to VRF or Noob Oyster will look what fits better at Sels/Lugs

and for another look i have the 904l Jubilee

They will never ever set that price, I BET they will set it at at least 50-70 bucks more.
I think it will be set at around 488

It will be funny if VRF soon comes up with its own Pepsi and charges 2/3 of what Noob charges with a solid 3285 cloned movement.

Was wondering the same thing.

Hope that works out for you bro, that's a beautiful piece. The VRF VR3135 Sub had a slightly smaller lug width that made other factory's bracelets incompatible. It would be great if that trend is not continued with this model.

Hope it will fit, let you know...
When not i must use the VRF Bracelet with ARF Clasp when Sel's are good enough recressed ...
Let's hope the best

I think you got that about right bro. I would ask tripdog , he is the master modder of vintage GMTs

 

[Hans81]

Pespi and Batman would be really great and hopefully ready before Christmas!

Where Can I find high-quality reps, If anyone of you has trusted suppliers contacts, I would like to buy some units. Thanks.

I would like to know too!!!
16710 pepsi on jubilee is so damn high on my list, Im thinking about going gen...

 

[rcom440]

If they release this soon it will be another big smack in the face to ARF! I think ARF is so behind they are becoming insignificant factory.

This thanksgiving, will have my turkey and thank VRF ???? ???? I better place the order before my wife finds out

Can someone comment on if this movement will accept Gen parts like auto wind module, date disc and barrel/mainspring etc?

 

[SRBJKU]

This is great news! When I first started looking at Reps, the first one I wanted was an 116710LN. I was sorry to learn that our choices were either incorrect hand stack or time bomb. This is perfect timing for me. [h=2][/h]

 

[preppyr6]

Just so I can scratch my head...you’re telling me a factory can clone the GMT movement but to date NO FACTORY CAN GET CLOSE TO THE CORRECT BLUE IN THE BLNR?? ????????‍

This is totally unexpected!! Such a nice surprise, let’s wait for the official information when our td’s release it.

 

[frankfrankfrank]

I have to imagine Pepsi and Batman are not too far behind. But goddam, I can't hold out. This is the most exciting release I've ever seen
