I received mine last week. No hand wobble, super smooth & good power reserve. Bezel sits tight and spot on. Speed bumps are not recognizeable while wearing and usually also in the majority of close up angles as well. Overall beautiful watch. Wears "gen-like" (I have a gen 114060 for reference). Only crystal is a "must-have" mod. Date wheel perhaps as well. Nonetheless, great watch.

I must admit, I was really worried buying the watch after reading all the threads and the "flaws". In the end, from my point of view, it is a really good rep and with minor mods (Crystal, Datewheel) even better.

What would be the best crystal and date wheel? I’m new to modding :)

By hand wobble I mean when you are setting the time, whilst turning the crown the other hands move a little bit, not much but they do move.

The only other issue I have come across is the bezel is ever so slightly out of alignment at 12 o’clock. It’s not enough to annoy me though lol.

Finally got a CF batman / batgirl on jubilee this morning. Its a beautiful watch. A bit of hand wobble when setting it which is a shame. Has anyone else experienced this? Other than that its class.
Yes. I got the CF Pepsi and Batman and both watches act like this, when setting the hour hand at crown position 1. Doesn't look good, doesn't feel good.

Yeah that’s exactly what I’m talking about. A little annoying but as long as it dosnt break it’s probably fine. I’m a little spoilt as I managed to get a VSF Kermit and it’s just unreal in every way. I’m still happy though lol. It’s good to know it’s not just mine that is doing this, it must be a generic issue with them.

Guys, it's just a clone GMT movement costing 100 dollars afterall. To be honest, it is more than good enough. Enjoy and appreciate it with fun.

The hand wobble when hour jumping in crown position 2 is due to the rep movement being based on the gen 3185 which has exactly the same characteristic. The gen 3186 was made specifically to address this issue by using a redesigned 24 hour wheel. The new gen design contains a weaker spring which is now on its third version. The hand wobble is not harmful and should be viewed as a welcome confirmation that you are using the most reliable rep GMT movement made. No others come close.

Pics from my TD looks good although these recent watches definitely are out of alignment with the top Rolex emblem. Don't know how bad it would be in real life to bother me or not ! Trying to make my mind up before pulling the trigger

Definitely seems a better option that ARF then Having to add VR movement

I got my Batman from JTime on Saturday. It’s getting a gen xtal and DW put in, should have it back in my hands on Friday!

Hi,

Can you please share the source to change to gen xtal and DW for Rolex reps if that’s ok with you.

Thanks,
Harry
