ARF 116710 GMT Master 2 (CHS Movement) - Waiting Room

[Cadows]

Im looking forward to seeing what ARF releases.

I’ll have to make a tough choice between the ARF and my Noob BK Batman with a Swiss ICHS and aftermarket insert. The new GMF/BP one’s aren’t good enough for me to make the switch.

What movement you have inside your batman?

What movement you have inside your batman?

It’s either an eta or a sellita. I forget.

What do you think about that aftermarket bezelinsert ?

We’ve discussed this at length over here:

cwfmon this may sound like a stupid question; regarding your BK GMT w/ Sellita movement, it has the GMT function correct? Meaning the 24 hour hand actually moves? I'm considering getting one from BK but just wanted to confirm. Thanks.

Is this watch actually coming out? I feel that it's like the long waited v6f 5711.

Dam hell of a good looking watch

I was debating pulling the trigger on a GMF, but if a CHS ARF is coming soon...

Guess I’ll keep telling myself patience is a virtue and wait for those reviews!

But the noob v9 has been out, with correct hand stacks and a more stable version of their sh3186.... I’m thinking of getting a v8 or v9 Batman or plain black to mod with my bp root beer....

Where did you see that the movement had become more stable? To my knowledge the CHS is still a ticking time bomb

The CHS will still be the ticking bomb everybody mentions until they come up with a stronger central spring which is the Achilles' heel of this movement. This is the piece in question :

https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...aster-ii-116710-chs-a2836gmtchs-di-augustochs

That piece is prone to break due to bad lubrication. Operating the hour hand creates a lot of abrasion on that spring and it ends up breaking. Harleysta91 suggests adding some lubrication grease on that spring so there's less abrasion and it seems to work. And some people have managed to repair that spring using a small portion of a tiny hypodermic needle.

​​​​​​​So far I'll stay with what we have, our unreliable CHS and once it breaks (note I'm not saying "if" but "once", lol) I will install a ICHS movement inside, as I understand hands will be perfectly replaceable except for the GMT hand.

Exactly, thanks!

Exactly, thanks!

So the only way to fix the hand stack is to get the proper gen 3186 caliber?? Sorry all to the confusion if I’ve brought it up.... I just saw that on my wechat from the sellers in China, they explained that V9 is the fixed and stable version of the 3186... but sometimes they exaggerate it. Of course I can’t be sure if they mean it cuz I am a newbie to building my own watch....

The eta clone gmt movement is hot garbage.

build a yuki 3185 that accepts gen hands, or wait for the arf clone.

or get ichs.

 

[Remcob78]

You mean the 3187 movement ? Is this a better movement
