I remember Angus saying they will release the Black and Batman first. The other colours will come gradually.

That sounds unbelievable. I bet the overall time delay of this watch is comparable to Noob's speed of inventing the 4130 clone. 3186 isn't even that different from 3135, which is already being cloned pretty well. The idea of ARF doing 3186 clone sounds more like a joke now.
Again - I can not understand. Why does ARF not launch this watch with a standard and proven movement in the meantime, instead of leaving this whole market potential to other competitors. Most buyers will prefer a reliable standard movement anyhow. Only a minority wants to gamble with a brand new movement. Those few CHS freaks will wait, but the majority will already have bought another GMT from the competition in the meantime.

The GMF’s are ok and don’t have the crappy bold date wheel. There’s no guarantee that ARF are going to do a better job on the rest of it either.
There are a few threads, but GMF made Pepsi, Batman, and CHNR TT all great looking reps.

Looks like they're pretty good actually. There's a review under KS watches for the BLNR, and the BLRO appeared in the BLNR thread a few days ago.
Also ARF have never done a bi coloured ceramic bezel before - I don't know why folks think that they're suddenly going to get everything right. Their Sub has been going backwards for the last 6 months.

it will be a few pages back on the rolex sub forum...
here is the GMF vs gen...
it gets a pass in my book.
They are not that bad, considering the price and what the gen goes for. Yes the digits are a bit thinner but overall the GMF is a nice piece, and the best rep we can get at the moment.
Haha thats my GMF picit will be a few pages back on the rolex sub forum...
