Hello Guy's i have a quick question, i just got a CF Pepsi, but it looks like the Insert is not well alligned ...
For me it is not the one i was shown on the QC Pics, but whatever, it is not the subject.

I tried to find a local watchmaker to ask if he could align it, he told me that this will be very hard as he says the insert should glued to the bezel, and that he do not know if he will break the Insert. As he never touched a rep.

Could you guy's maybe tell me what i could tell him, or explain how he could solve the problem ? Maybe also with some pictures ?

Thank you so much.

So after this, the TD offered me to send it to one of his Watchmakers, which i did, now i got it back.

What do you think ? For me it looks good no ?

Could you just tell me if this is a V2 ?


Thank you

Insert alignment is good now

Yours is a V2, it has the longer minute hand and the bezel lip

Looks like your triangle got dirty. You can gently scrub it with an ultra soft toothbrush and some dish soap. Rinse under a gentle stream from faucet with the watch tilted to allow runoff away from crown and caseback.

I found this vid where he compares to gen and I think a VRF which is calls Hardwood factory. Brings up same points as discussed here. With subtitles

For anyone interested I thought this was very well done on what I think is a VR3187.

I can never get consistency with the '6' or '18' color transition on the bezel .. with these new BLRO
Ordered 4, and only got 1 piece with decent color transition like the gen bezel.
very hard to get it, in my opinion.

Nice, do you happen to know which factory makes this 216570?

100% gen bro. No rep factory makes a true clone 3187

I have no idea why the title would have the word replica in it. That watchmaker is quite skilled and does a lot of videos - all gens. Strange.
