Anyone know when the VRF Batman is set to be released?

VRF has had two Batman releases bro. Neither insert is particularly good. The V1 insert has decent transitions, but has other problems like speed bumps and font inaccuracies. The V2 insert is a complete disaster, the blue is way high into the 8 in 18. I've seen one where the blue extends all the way past the 8. Huh!? Aside from the insert and a rough rehaut ledge, the VRF GMT's are decent. They are all engraved 126710 and have 116710 CG's.

VRF releases true clone Batman

If I recall they teased new ones, however not much of a tease since they just used gen renders for the pictures. They would definitely be back in the game if they come out with new inserts.

Thanks KJ. You are absolutely right. I was thinking more about an updated V3 as I agree about your assessment on V2.

Hands by ARF or VRF ?

 

[Cloudman]

does anyone knows if ARF or VSF produces the 116710LN in green SL? Or would appreciate PM on where to find those green SL handset - gen ones are too expensive!

Sorry what do you mean by green SL

green super luminova is my guess...although I don't know if the 116710LN ever used it?

Ah yes thanks, of course. Early models of 116710 did have superluminova

But I'm not aware of any rep that is using it, I think they are all on chromalight.

VSF doesn't do GMT BTW (at least yet)

Looks like Chromalight was introduced in 2008 and the 116710LN was released in 2007, so there were likely at least few thousand LN made with green hands. Probably a good Gen investment if you ever come across one...given its apparent rarity.

Hi all, in 2022, is ARF still best base watch with a direct swap of VR3185 in?

I would guess so. Thats how I would build one again.

Yes. If you want a complete build. Get a gen bezel, hands, dial, and datewheel. Date disc 3135 fits a 3186 fyi

I thought ARF discontinued it?

I can get one. Just not willing to drop that much for one. I can buy the watch if I really wanted. LOL. Again I have more fun hunting things down and getting them at good timing. When in a rush is when I spend crazy amount of $$$$.

I did that in the start of this hobby. Now I hoard parts. I have so many freaking parts, cases, bands, dials, hands, movements. So now I take my time. One will pop up in my circle and I will get it.

When I do a batman build. I think the only real parts I will use is the insert and hands and date wheel. I need to see the ARF one when they put it out. I am hoping that the insert is passable.

I am not THAT much of a batman fan. I am a Sub guy. I do like GMT's but nothing beats a nice 16610! My go to watch.

Hey I was just reading through some of the posts and seen you saying you hold parts?... I was wondering if you would be interested possibly in selling 1 or 2 items if you have them for a 116710LN personal project...apologies if I went about this wrong new to this but just looking for some advice and hopefully a few parts....thanks
