I love the Batman GMT but hate the two-tone bracelet. I think it looks better just brushed stainless.

That's a Noob V10, probably no longer available. It has the worst rep GMT movement.
The Noob V11 has the best rep GMT movement, the VR3185. And its $200 less.

Hi guys, It has been 24 days after I refused the GMT, so far I have not had any other QC. It seems that arf has production problems

After a long wait I got my QC on the VRF. I accepted it, it's good enough for me.

When did you get the QCs? Still very nice.

That's a very nice looking watch bro. The insert looks a lot like what ARF is using. I wonder if they are sourcing from the same place now. The 18 transition is a little low but not bad. I've seen some ARFs that look exactly like that. Good set of hands, nice rounded corner hour markers. It's a great bonus when you can be happy with a rep OOTB. Congrats!

My ARF had that exact transition. Same number style as well. Add a paint mod to that and the watch is a stunner. Not to pour cold water on It but it’s such a shame that transition is so off. Could be near perfect if so. But ain’t that the rep game for ya??

I think I may pull the trigger on one of these. I’m awaiting QC pics for a clean version BLRO which have just been released but it I fancy a Batman now too. The QC pics on page 6 of this thread look amazing and the insert looks superb with nice thick numbers as opposed to some of the skinnier ones.
am I right in thinking that the VRF version is spot on in terms of shape, lugs, CG’s on both their 116710 and 126710 BLNR’s? Are both just as good as each other in that regard?

VRF uses the same case for both 116710 and 126710 which is different in gen. 116710 has thicker lugs and thicker CGs. But now the new 126710 BLNR on oyster appears to be the same case shape as the rest of the gen SS GMTs so I think the minor variations in case shapes can be overlooked as they are present even in gens. VRF arguably has the best dial. There are two different sets of hands they can come with though, one set is noticeably better. That seems to be a batch issue and not likely to change from one current QC to the next. VRF crystals are not great and will usually require replacing.
This is on two Pepsi's but can be on the Batman too - hands on the right are much better
Overall VRF is a solid choice, might need to change the crystal.
VRF is upgrading the Batman
