I think a CF jubilee Pepsi could be my next purchase. Especially if these have the VR movement in already.

Unfortunately on this prototype, the BLNR has the speed bump at 6 and 18

After seeing the gen vs rep pic I think the red has Noob syndrome. Waiting for qc pics before making final judgement but so far I find the red disappointingly brown

I guess CF is using the same cases and bezels for the 116710, 126710, BLRO and BLNR which by right is not correct.
Anyhow, the plating on the bezel engravings looks good with minimal shades of speed bumps at the transition positions. I would say it is one of the best in this aspect so far.

Since CF claims to use the VR GMT movements in their GMII's, somehow the shock absorber looks different to that of the usual VR's(full golden absorber). Not sure if VR has upgraded their latest models though.
The orientation of the two stubs as well as the structures of the balance bridges are completely different too.

Seems They’ve tried to make it look like a free sprung balance and they’ve hidden the adjustment levers by opposing them. A pointless decoration really.

If this is really their intention, then it is not making the life easier for beat adjustment and regulation.

Exactly, I guess the auto device module will need to be removed for adjustment

I have always been convinced that the movements on replica watches with a closed case back (not visiting) must be functional and not beautiful and decorated.

Well, if that's so, there was no point of making those 3135, 3235 etc movements, the ETA2824-2 would be the far more reliable powerhorses.
Though I guess the only advantages are that you can chuck in gen. hands and DW's onto those rep movements to give a better cosmetic.
