Dear members, actually I ordered my first rep. It’s the noob GMT Master II 126710 BLRO Real Ceramic 904L SS Noob 1:1 Best Edition on Bracelet A3285 (Correct Hand Stack) at Intime.

Now I had read so much negativ points because of the movement.
How I should start it right? What should I know about it?

Answer in German or English please.

I’m looking forward for some information and help

Thank you

There is no difference between A3186 und A3285? Any reayson why do the movements have different numbers? Only Marketing?

Only the markings are different. It's done to coincide with gen model movements. The gen 3285 crown turns anti-clockwise to advance hands forward, so that aspect of rep "A3285" models is correct. The A3186 and A3285 are both actually A2824's, dirt cheap timebomb movements prettied up with some deco engravings and perlage.

Gen Rolex GMTs with the coronet logo at 6 o'clock have model numbers 12xxxx instead of 11xxxx. The 12xxxx's have the 3285 movements.

Oh, uh... time bomb well, what can you expect for almost 700 dollars. Attention irony.

I have the same Noob Pepsi. Seems to be a timebomb. My TD told me that the hour hand can be set in Position 2 without any problem. I dont dare to do that. So I am waiting for the new SA3186 from ARF or Noob. Currently this one exists with the Batman from VRF (can be found as NEW arrival at TD Intime) and I do not like VRF, it is just my personal view.
