rehaut engravings have no improvement which is a big disappointment for me

here is a comparison with the sub v3 which has the best rehaut so far imo

Just arrived...

The engraving looks nice. The thickness of of the numbers is the same but they are not as deep as the numbers of the gen insert. Color of the bezel itself seems to be different too (a little bit more greyish). Numbers are white.

The rest of the watch looks good to me good.

looks good indeed, its a very good improvement, cept for some small details. can you comment on the bracelet? how does the clasp feel and are the links tight? would be great if you could post some pics. bracelet seems to be the best yet on this version.

I'm about to order this GMT, and can choose one of two movements:
Asian 3186 or A2836 movement. Which is the better one? I don't care about how it looks or what the price is, - i just want the best. ;)
Which movement have you choosen?

3186 is the Gen Movement ;)
So if you have an A3186 this should be clear? It will be an Decorated A2836-2 Movement that looks like an 3186 Gen Movement.
The best will be to grab an ETA2836 and not A2836 but for the order i would choose the A2836 that's the Movement what i have choose.
wait only for the QC Pics :)

What are you guys doing with your stock inserts after you swap them for gens? Is this new insert better than my Noob V2 insert that has thin numbers?

Yes, it is way better in color and engraving. It's nearly the same as the gen. Only color of engravings and the depth is slightly different.

Another flaw that both inserts have: The numbers (2 and 4) are not 'curved'

Noob V2

Only if you tell us you think something is wrong with something from what I understand.

Just approved this from InTime. Jordan did a pretty good job in finding me a good sample, I think. ?
