Ye, i know that from the Gmt movement thread, but this particular one in puretime is saying CF and obviously the movement is called and have the aesthetics of a rolex 3285.

As another member Steve McGarerth pointed out this bezel is no way a CF tho.
I wrote and email to puretime and Jenifer responded that it is a CF for sure and not a Noob (Noob was advertised a while ago as a 3285 with the following markings but it was actually the time bomb eta movement, different architecture from the one we have here).
Maybe they had their photos wrong, not sure. Here’s the link once again, check the bezel and the movement ->

I’m a bit worried to order this since it is not clear what is happening here, i will probably go with a normal vr3186 listing and a correct 18 bezel coloring on the photos.

Yes they must have their pics and description mixed up

Question to the experts here:
Hontwatch (RWI-TD) is offering the GMT Master II "Pepsi" from different manufactures. How can the untrained eye spot, which "Pepsi" is from CF?

Please, have a look:

Obvious for me only is the dark red color of the insert on the watch on the right side. Otherwise they look quite the same to me, in spite of being from different manufacturer.

^well if you buy from a TD and ask for a Particular factory model (eg CF), then you will get that watch with the CF stickers. You don’t need to learn what the differences are between all the factory models unless you have nothing better to do

Nice piece! :thumbsup:
Can't wait anymore until mine will arrive... Hopefully there won't be any chromatic aberration of the CF-ceramic insert.

You'll be pleasantly surprised imo, I feel like it gets a lot of hate from some in here who haven't seen it in person and refuse to pony up, some even going as far to call the insert 'dogshit brown'

Count me in as another happy CF Pepsi owner. For whatever reason, this forum is filled with users who like to make baseless claims. The only people I would pay attention to are people who actually have first hand experience. You can only tell so much from dealer's crappy pictures.

Experts, this date disc will swap into the CF blro right? https://www.ebay.com/itm/29441473220...UAAOSwvu5ah~UL

That's the right one bro but for not a lot more you can buy one new in a blister. That's what I would do if going to the trouble of replacing the DW. The source of the one you linked is WSO or Ewatchparts I believe and if so the item pictured may not be the one you get. "free from deep scratches" isn't my idea of an acceptable gen DW. YMMV.

Gen part number is 3135-16200

Edit: Sorry, missed that the seller is fierygems. See srhoque post below
