Don’t know about the bezel and the overall build quality.

I‘ve not even found a review on the web.
Not even on reddit. Those guys are pretty quick over there normally.

The only thread I saw was on a website with a few pics but without any further info that goes into detail.

I‘ve one on order atm. Will share pics as soon as it’s with me.

The bezel assembly has always been the week point on all the gmt from any factory .especially that annoying metal click. Key is to get a gen kit

I like that combo! Which springbars will you guys recommend to install a jubilee bracelet on that case ? (The oyster springbars don't fit)

Got my QC, already approved.
There seems to be some oil/ grease on the insert. Should be gone with a microfiber cloth, so doesn’t bother me.
Sead was even able to get me one with the oyster instead of the jubilee bracelet.

Rehaut looks good, same goes for the date alignment. SELs look good too from what I can see. Clasp looks nicely finished and centered in all its parts as fliplock etc.

Fisherman1980 can you give us your opinion on how this compares to your gen? Pros, Cons, weak points, etc. I don’t know if it’s because of the resemblance with a sub that this isn’t a more popular rep?

I have my franken vrf and this is my favorite gmt model. It’s subtle. Clean looks like they’re doing a good job but the PPM does look very silver in the few pics I see. It might be lighting though.

KJ2020 have you seen one of these in person?

Not an LN bro but it looks like standard CF fare. Great in many respects - movement (best), bracelet (should be ARF), insert. dial, hands, case is fine, same 736D serial as the BLRO/BLNR. I'm sure under the bezel is a hot mess just the others and the cyclops isn't the greatest but no reps are, really. Overall I would take it and almost grabbed one M2M recently, but for whatever reason I keep skirting around this design combo, IDK why, lol.

Post 3285 about the CF bezels if interested.

Yep, confirm that @KJ2020.

Bracelet is smooth as butter, same with the movement. Crystal could be better, especially the cyclops/ black hole effect.

Case and bracelet have nowhere sharp edges and handling is absolutely great.
The only watch I can compare it to in terms of build quality is a noob SD4K, which does not feel as quality as this one.

Bezel was „greasy“ when I received it. Gave it a wash with soap and warm water- much more defined now.

I have one of these on the way. Hopefully the milky crystal edge issue is now fixed. We'll see ????

Any update on this mate? Looking to pick one up myself. The white crystal edge would be the crystal gasket if I had to guess. Pics are most welcome! ;)

It's definitely still there. I get it tomorrow and will report back, but from the qc pictures it looks to be the same as most other examples out there.

Congrats mate, looking forward to seeing shots when you get it! Ironically, that “milky” ring around the crystal edge is correct for some older 5 digit Rolex. Nothing a crystal swap can’t fix though. But I am curious to know what the best rep crystals are these days. Going to do some reading up.

Got the gmt today! First impression is very positive. The bezel is not as bad as I was expecting. There aren't audible clicks but you can tell when it goes into a notch. And it will stay there unless bumped hard. I'll post some pics tomorrow so you can see all the details.

Here it is! I noticed that these don't come with many links so I didn't even need to remove one for my 7.25" wrist.

Do these take gen crystals? The cyclops is a little distorted and not that great as a result.
