Compare the uniformity of red color in the ROF insert. I'm not pushing the ROF, this is just a pic quality comparison.

Most rep/gen comparisons coming from the factories are usually rep/rep comparisons.

If that's a rep on the bottom it's a great rep, the insert looks cherry red like gen and not with brownish hues like the one on top. I believe that actually is gen, because if it's a rep why not actually state it is to boost even more sales with that nicer insert rather than portray it as gen?

Here's hoping someone tries to apply the VRF insert on CF. Would be a cracking watch for those that like Mk 1s.

perfect thank you, what the MAX Version means in the VRF model? i have not see any genuine call it with MAX Version models.

It is the best blro version from vrf. There are two versions one with the to light red bezel insert. And the one for 40 dollars more with the better like MK1 bezel insert.
Here is one of my vrf max:

CF bezel insert on top, gen on bottom


CF bezel insert on top, gen on bottom


Dial font a bot blurred but doubt it is gen but a very good rep , as a gen owner i think CF would be best out there , i had the noob , it has very good bezel engraving and depth in comparison to gen and better than VRF, ROF and GMF , it is just the brownish that is really weird why noob couldn’t pull of a dark MK3 red color below shot of gen and comparison .

CF has the best MK3 color imo , i ordered one will wait and see.

spotcom I know bro it’s bad. I can’t unsee the rim around the BLRO bezel now lol looked at over 10 gens on the Rolex Reddit page and they all have it. Weird it’s only on the Pepsi. The meteorite dial BLRO has it too lol

Just make sure no one has a telescope when you’re having a conversation and you’ll be in the clear. LOL

Leaving the crown guards aside this is a very solid release. Cant wait to see real life pictures and comparisons.

Agreed.

I’d be curious to know if the buzz around this watch wild still be the same if VRF, ARF and Noob were still open…Makes you wonder what Clean/ZZF had up their sleeves.

I think regardless of other factories being open or close, the cf gmt's would still be hype. CF is an improvement in a lot of aspects in comparison to the other options in the market. I guess the most affected would have been noob because their insert was their biggest selling point that's why they kept using timebomb movements on their Pepsi and they had an outrageous price.

I think ARF and VSF will ultimately make better versions but I am debating ordering this one

The CF BLRO bezel relief angle from the case to the Scollop edge line is definitely different to the gen as the CF has more of a flat area on the circumference like the BLNR. the gens relief angle runs right up to the edge of the scallops.

Once I receive mine I’ll try and machine the bezel to gen spec. If there’s enough material hopefully be able to get the flat top perimeter area also.

Either way the CF looks very good I’m im sure nobody’s going to really notice the difference

I know a lot of you guys are focusing on the BLRO, but what are your guys’ thoughts on the BLNR? General consensus had been that ARF had the best insert but the movement was no good. This BLNR seems good, maybe not as good as ARF but the VR movement is significantly better. Would like to hear others thoughts and opinions as well
