You must be such a fan of ducks.

Amazing how close they are to gen though, I love my ARF BLNR and also my Noob V3 Daytona.

Here some more

both look really damn good.

red looks fine even in low lighting

I am definitely getting the Batman, looks great.

Pepsi looks good enough for me. I think I can even re-profile the bezel lip to better resemble the gen! CF have done a fine job on these overall.

How really?
Can you share the techniques used? I am sure lots of members here are interested to know

To be fair... I think if people are that close enough to notice that, you've got bigger problems (getting mugged).

I could tell you but then I’d have to kill you lol!

Looking at the pics I would say the insert is sitting low enough in the bezel to flatten the inner edge to at least make it appear thicker using a fine grade file and then polish the lip. I’ve done it on vintage rollies like the 1665 which have a similar lip.

Does anyone have an opinion the the VRF BLNR v The CF BLNR?? is the CF as good as the ARF?? Obviously the CF comes with the better movement.

I'm pretty sure that Pepsi is going to be my first purchase as a newbie. I have a feeling that it won't be my last.......

Does get addictive lol Plus its really the only way to enjoy these watches as best we can due to A - They are hard to buy and B - They are crazy prices over RRP

Out of my reps my fav is my Noob V3 Panda Daytona, Love that and I can actually use it rather than being concerned of its value.

Just pre-ordered a batman. Thanks for all the great info and contributions in this thread.

Any news on a CF LN? Just asked my TD, I would love to pre-order one of those too if it will also be available in the near term...

Can you please share your QC pics when you get it? I wanna see how the transitions look before placing my order. Been waiting for a good Batman with the VR movement forever.

So on the JTime website there’s a CF 116710 and a 126710. The 18 transition point on the 12 is much worse (lower) than the 11. Pics below. Do you guys think this is just a prototype error? Hopefully won’t be the case once QC are released but seems strange to have such a glaring difference on two (essentially the same) watches.

What exactly you mean, where is difference/not good?

 

[MJH89]

The transition of blue to black should be part way up the 8 of 18. This is the case on the 116710, however the transition is much lower on the 126710.
Fortunately it is still touching the 8 of the 18 but it not as nice as the 116710.

StreetFighter Bro can you post a pic of your gen CGs next to this. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with 116710 Vs. 126710. They are very likely using the same insert, which means that the variance would not be on the watch reference, but insert by insert. We've seen this with ARF, Noob etc. Each insert is slightly different
