This thread is about the Batman and not the Pepsi bud

Did you get your watch? Are you happy and satisfied? I also order 3 watches from trustytime. (GMT 116710LN, BMT2 Batgirl and Seamster 300M) Hope all will be fine. I let you know with pictures.

I’ve had my Pepsi 2 months and it runs well. Fitted a gen crystal and improved the bezel lip but haven’t ordered a Batman/batgirl.

How much of a difference did the gen crystal make for you? Thinking about doing it..

Just got mine yesterday. Not only am I happy with the bezel colors and over quality. But I am lucky enough to get the 116710 version instead of the 126710 version. Why do I care you asked? Because the clone VR3186 matches the caliber 3186 found in the first gen Batmans. While the coronet between the swiss made version to be correct must have a clone 3285 to match the 2021 gen Batmans. Won't matter to most. But it means the world to an OCD guy like myself.

Here's some pix I took to torture my fellow WIS :p

Makes all the difference for me bud. I always fit a gen crystal in a date Rolex. Not always cheap but worth it in my opinion.

There are several pages of discussion on the next-gen VR GMT movements in the link below

Start at Post 95

https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...epsi-picture-leaks-blro?p=9972437#post9972437

AFAIK there hasn't been one torn down for servicing yet but I also haven't seen a single complaint about it and there have been quite of few of these sold already. The movement seems to be as good as its predecessor, with only some minor changes.

BTW it isn't just the GMT movements that have changed, the new VR3235s are using the same fake deco free sprung balance assembly complete with inconveniently placed adjustment arms.

In terms of the best Batman inlay, is it CF right now?
Or is there any modder/aftermarket item that is even superior?

Planning to equip my ARF 116710 with a new insert. : - )

I don't think CF has a better insert than ARF
