Yes in blister. Used maybe 250

wow thats a lot of money for me.
Does the crystal make a big difference? might be worth it if so.

I may consider it, right now all my extra money is going into watch tools.
you know your relationship with watches has taken a serious turn towards something indescribable when your selling your watches to buy tools!! oascom

I use gen parts only for franken. In my franken I changed all parts except case movement and bracelet :)
For rep I use best rep parts, not gen parts

You can still see the line through the 6 marker on the bezel where the color transitions. Why is it so hard to get rid of that line? Its the first thing everyone looks for to identify fakes.

Odd you guys are able to place orders. My TD keeps telling me ARF is telling them its OOS at the moment. I'll keep checking, not that my wallet isnt thankful for the reprieve, but dammit after a couple of years of waiting for a decent Batman, now I cant even order it!

I did a quick photoshop comparison between a few gens found on chrono24 and the frankens here. It seems that there is variance in the gens as well, though the ARF frankens still have a little under magnification IMO (and I had seen other examples of such issues in the original ARF 116710 thread). Mark1937 your seems to be closer though, did you do anything in particular to address this issue? Just curious if it's luck of the draw or shaving the gasket or something else?

Hopefully this helps folks judge for themselves

3 gens up have 3 different CG. Third on the right have same ARF CG :-(

CF makes GMT insert?! That means they have the tooling. Just need to wait for a CF smart guy to design a one piece Pepsi insert a la NOOB! :) My GMF is in dire need of a replacement! C'mon CF!
