The Batman has always been my favorite modern Rolex. Let's wait for the release...

This “prototype” waiting will be worse thanZF Sub. Bury this thread.

Comm'on Cadows! Im sending you positive vibes! :winking:

New GMF v3 insert, looks not bad in comparison.

GMF is orrible bro. 1 on the bezel appear to have been drawn by a child with pencil

 

[Arik dahan]

Only the insert and hands are good, everything else is bad garbage, a shame for the factory, as ar not to make markers correctly.
I'm done with this factory ..
This model has a better gmf

Wow the DW and crystal seem leagues better than the LN, the insert color is not bad except the transition, that could be better.

Let's see if 1 year of waiting for a different insert was worth it or not

GMF V2 is $288. The price hike to $458 for the V3 is absurd. And for what changes? Sigh...

They're trying to get rid of the timebomb ETA 2824 movements with the V2's, V3 introduced the VR3185 but they could be using something else now, it's a bit confusing.

Yes indeed mate, you're right!

I've heard GMF using 3 different movements for the same batch and it's a wee bit of a mess...

The biggest thing is for the cyclops to be clear, not the hazy blue. Also, may it come on jubilee as well? Thank you.

All I really care about is the case and the insert.
Everything else can be replaced with gen parts at a decent cost. Id immediately put in a gen datewheel and crystal.

Do you know of anything that is better now? With all that is available (and I have gone through at least 10 variants), GMF v3 is still the acceptable one to me (but with wrong 1 serif font as you mentioned). I have 2 Batman super-frankens waiting for the proper insert Even have a kidney ready for a gen insert.

If anyone is willing to shell serious $$s, here is a gen set on chrono24:

The maker said they will have the prorotype 2 in about 1-2 weeks, I also told them about the dial markers and see what they can do with it.

Great! Also, the case is little rounded. Maybe somebody screw up in the polish. If they can add a better DW would be great as well! Cheers

Sadly not VR movement... but it looks good tho!

 

[Tobel]

And another Rolex rep with misaligned rehaut engraving

 

[srhoque]

What the heck? Just 2 posts back Angus says prototype and now it’s released on website. No VR movement and insert transition is still wrong (Numbers also look too white but that maybe lighting). On to ZZF/CF release...
