I doubt it. It has a different movement.

LuoIsBoss thanks for posting. Any TDs have it yet? Im not seeing it on PT, Chazing, or Intime.

His pic is of a A3186 version. No release yet of the actual ARF/VRF 116710LN yet. It is on the web site and suppose to be shipping soon. I am sure the batman is coming. If not one can make it. Get a batman dial and GMT hand and bezel. Same watch as the LN. Lets get a review and look at the LN before we pretend that other watches are being made. LOL.

Or should I post a 904 Pepsi and say that it has the new movement in it also? LOL.

You could say this sounds stupid, but I'd love to see a BLRO with this new movement. Sure, it's the wrong movement for the 126710, but it would mean a (potentially) reliable CHS, and most importantly to me, correct crown position. The incorrect stem/CG shape is the one thing that has kept me back from getting the Noob and using it as a base to franken.

These chinese guys love a step in the 6/18 colour change! Is it really that hard not to have it?

VRF cyclops still sucks. Least little bit of angle off causes distortion. Not a dealbreaker of course, better crystal is a given need on most reps anyway. Still annoying that they would pinch pennies on a dirt cheap cyclops, it's worse than many DHGate beaters.

They will put the same clone movement in all the GMT versions they make

Probably, but then you will have wrong time setting directions for the newer models. Lol, they invested that much money and just copied one of the most desired movements and all of a sudden, Rolex replaced the movements in all of their new models by a different one with different time setting direction. And again, every fake can be spotted just by setting the time. Did this just happen by coincidence or is the R factory just prepared for us guys ;)
