Looks great. What strap do you have on it?

Lume is better applied on the rep

The list says GF Avenger GMT, there is no other GF Avenger GMT.
I had the Blackbird and it doesn't come anywhere close to the GMT. GF have really outdone themselves with this one, it feels very gen like. The bezel on my Blackbird had a lot of play and the crown operation was poor, but the GMT really shines in these two aspects. The rubber strap on mine is superb, while the canvas on the Blackbird felt like crap and it started to thread after putting it on my wrist twice!
Wait for the GMT to come back in stock, it's totally worth the wait!

I bought the same one as you from the link you provided. It was in stock so I was lucky. I will have it next week! One question though, should the DLC version start with an "M" on the caseback? With all the cross posts of Blackbirds on the GMT thread and the Blackbird thread being mis-titled, it just gets a little confusing.

It's the Blackbird nylon strap, rep.

You're right. Because on the gen lume is applied per hand. So you may recognize some irregularities.

No idea and I don't care really. This is my caseback, if it's of any help:

You can't confuse the Avenger II GMT for a Blackbird, two completely different watches. The GMT has an extra GMT hand and a GMT bezel and normal lume,not vintage like the Blackbird. But some people just keep on posting the Blackbird pics and questions in the GMT thread and vice versa and this is what you get.
You will love your watch, the Blackbird feels like a POS rep compared to this. Seriously.

Some QC pictures

The Gen Avenger II GMT Blacksteel (DLC) caseback has the model number of M32390. I have yet to receive my rep, but if they are all like @Therion666 & @Alangep cases, they have the wrong SS model number of A32390.

Gen Avenger II GMT Blacksteel caseback for reference:

 

[tkingjr]

Here are both numbers from Gen photos. The Breitling website always shows the DLC on stainless much darker than subliminal's Gen. GF used the same caseback for both. Maybe they will correct it on V2.

 

[FastPaced]

My QC pictures have wrong caseback letter. Maybe if they fix it we can buy just a caseback.
@Therion666
Thank you for the reply. I do know the difference in what the GMT and Blackbird look like. What I meant was the review part of it. Pretty much I think I understand now. The GMT is a better rep. Thanks

 

[WatchestoPlay]

Has anyone heard of the white dial versions are back in stock?

Has anyone heard of the white dial versions are back in stock?

I'll find out shortly, awaiting QC photos.

You're welcome, I'm glad I could help!

I don't really care about that single letter being wrong, nobody will ever see it. And even if someone does see it - I have never ever met a person who would know the reference numbers of every type of watch by heart and would know that it's a rep. It's by far the most gen like rep I've ever owned!

Got an email from Ryan, he said the white dial is in stock unk:

 

[FastPaced]

Got my GMT today, looks good but man does the movement make noise when you shake the watch. Is this normal with the 2836?

 

[Smpfan]

Asian etas have got a relatively loud rotor. You can give a very very small amount of oil into the rotor bearing. Otherwise order a gen eta ball bearing and change it.

It's probably dry...Mine was completely silent when I received it, but some asian clones can be loud. But not too loud though, there is always a chance that something is wrong, it's a clone after all..How is the power reserve?

 

[FastPaced]

It sounds dirty, probably needs a service. My modder is off for the summer, so I guess it will have to wait until the fall. Not sure how the power reserve is yet, just got it and haven't checked yet.

QC pics already approved, super rep incoming [emoji108]
