this is 100% correct but looks like some chinamen read the so many complaints about the lip and put the lip on the wrong model…….

i’m not sure that’s a full on lip
my V1 can reflect light such that it looks like it has a wide lip at some angles but there isn’t actually much of a flat surface

good morning today I received the QC of the Gmt CF but it seems to me that the 3 of the date always higher than the 2 ... what do you think? Thank you very much

no offense and with all due respect but here the problem is not the date but your mind

Yes for my opinion is ok
Always in my opinion the real problem, which I thought they had solved, is the obvious line that crosses the 6

According to one member here they have fixed the transition lines, this pic is the apparent new version that is available to the Chinese market.
There still has been no evidence of this in recent QC pics on here. There’s Some dealers saying there is no new version and this is all speculation while others say there is a better version coming. so who know wtf is going on lol

My QC only came yesterday, so must be the latest batch - people have said my minute hand is correct whereas others aren't which further indicates that I've got a newer revision but the 6 still isn't great.

I believe the 1162710 model has better join lines

Yeah you’ve definitely got a better version as to the new longer minute hand. Does seem
Like the insert is still the same as the first batch.

Here is a picture of my 116710 BLNR batman that I took while at dinner

This is the unofficial "V2" that comes with the correct bezel lip.

Oh damn. They fix one thing and ruin another.

Is there any way to remove the bezel lip?

The angled top ledge of the teeth would have to be lowered slightly to eliminate the lip. Someone like mnkoshka could do this easily on a lathe. It could also be done by hand but would require great care.

Realistically it would be easier to just swap your bezel with someone who has a V1 Pepsi.

Sorry Boys and Girls, had literally no time for anything since I'm back to work.
I'm not really happy with my shots and want to do a full review, but here a few pictures to compare the bezel colour.
Dayligth Pics when I'm out of the city, don't wan't to get murdered wearing two Batmans ????

I think colour is quite 1:1, date is a little bit fat, but not too much of a problem.

I do like these new cf GMT’s.
Definitely starting to notice the difference in lume material on the hands and dial most lighting conditions. Dial lume material is shit!! Now I see what some members are talking about lol.

Looks like they're using everything from latest production batch on both versions.. The only different things are inserts and GMT hands lol

Pretty sure the insert is the same. These QC’s are good a hiding those join lines. I’d be interested to see photos once in hand. I e seen other QC’s of the “latest insert batch” and there was no difference with the insert unfortunately.

Yes I'm quite sure too. I was just saying that now on the latest production they're using the same 99% stuff on both blnr and blro (just different color inserts and gmt hands for each model respectively).

By the way, joint lines are mostly visible on zoomed QCs and at a specific angle.

You can barely see it in real life on wrist distance. You have to bring the watch close to your eyes and focus to see the actual lines.

Here's an example of mine (first batch production during July - early August) under sunlight on the eyecandy thread I posted yesterday
