Looking at buying either...

A) GMT Master II 116710LN Real Ceramic 904L A2836 1:1 Best Edition from DJF via Puretime

or

B) GMT Master II 116710LN Ceramic 904L A2836 Best Edition from GMF via Puretime

Looking for best quality LN. Not worried about CHS due to the bad reviews the A3186 movement gets.

Any help or guidance is appreciated! Thanks!

Why don't you consider Noob version, it's better than DJF & GMF. (116710LN)

The Noob GMT Master is still not available yet. I've been waiting on one for over 3 months now

Exactly.

So considering, is the DJF or GMF model better?

I'd go with DJF, the rehaut and crystal heigh is much better

If you are going to mod wait for the noob.

Unfortunately I'm trying to get the two tone and DJF doesn't make it

I'm reading Noob is the way to go here. When is it expected to be in stock?

I'm asking TD's, puretime is saying it's available but is requesting payment first which is fair. However, it isn't uncommon to pay and then wait for weeks. Fatpanda said he is checking 2 days ago, I'm waiting for his response.

Trustytime (not a TD) is saying 6 to 8 weeks.

All in all, there is no solid news. So far I've seen one qc post on reddit for a noob gmt master after the raids, but it might be old stock from before the raid.

3 weeks ago the factory was shut down due to raids. The only worthwhile one in my opinion is the noob. Be patient and get the best one available.
