i went with a clark crystal with AR cyclops. I also have a GMF v1 crystal with LEC...but its not as nice as clarks.

which model number is the right crystal for this one? "25- 295-C 295C 25-295C with AR date window"?

I just put in the order for one of these yesterday. Waiting on QC pics!

The correct one for GMT is B25-295-CAR-C1

Edit: just realized you was referring to a clarks crystal, the one I mentioned is the gen number but yes the ceramic GMTs have AR date window so definetly take one with AR !

New VRF next to the noob bezel. Intended to buy the 'regular' (old) VRF BLRO with the intent of switching to the noob bezel but got upgraded in the process and now I'm sitting with this new VRF and a noob bezel and I'm not so sure anymore.

Weirdly enough, the red turns out to be significantly brighter in the pictures in comparison of looking at it with my pair of eyeballs.

EDIT: I need to stress this more, but wow. Looking at the picture on a bigger screen even more emphasizes my previous comment - on photo this bezel appears MUCH brighter than in real life. Super weird.

I couldn't agree more with this comment, sometimes I try and take photos but they end up getting deleted, looks significantly better in person.

The hands are different from other samples posted here, and not in a good way. Smaller profiles, thicker borders and smaller lume plots. Could be a temporary stock shortage or might turn out to be a long term supply shift.
