QC in: those 2s on the black sure look thin but doubt I’ll get better, accept or chance it?

I agree with the play of light and shadow
for me the real difference from the other photos seen lately is the blue of 18 which starts a little earlier than where it should
of course we are talking about not even a millimeter

I see what you mean. It’s just the glare on the black ceramic part. Without glare reflection, the black “2” is same as the blue.

Good spot - I RL'd it an hour ago due to this, there's one a few pages back which has it perfect, so think I'll chance getting a good one as I know ARF can do it

I would take it bro, the inserts are all going to have the same thickness markers and would look this way among all samples in those specific lighting conditions.

Could someone kindly recommend where I would be able to order a Batman ceramic bezel that has correct color markings on 6 and 18?

I recently place an order on the watch below and even after 3 weeks of going back and forth with QC, was seeing similar issues on number 18 where the blue line extended slight into 18, and also with speed bumps on #6.

Thankful to be able to learn from you all as always.

Cancel that Noob order and buy the ARF instead. There are no other rep or aftermarket Batman inserts that are as good as the ARF. Seriously, the new Noobs are bad and not just the inserts.

After a long wait, it finally arrived today. Pictures are complete ARF stock.

Got the gen dial, hands, d/w but still waiting for xtal and vr3185 to be arrived for a franken project to begin.

beautiful piece finally we have a great batman on the market
however I wanted to ask you for verification
from your photos the blue on the insert in the intersection with the 6 seems crooked downwards and not straight like on the 18 is it so?

Is anyone having luck getting these ordered from
any TDS other than PT and TT? My preferred TD hasn’t been able to get this from ARF since release. Wondering if PT and TT swooped up the entire first batch.

YourWatch couldn’t get me my watch for the second week running after their mishap with my order. I cancelled it and I got it from my preferred TD and he got me my QC in two days. it’s on its way to me now.
