At least mine did, yeah. You can get it from the common gen part sources; ebay, chrono24 or your trusted watchsmith.

Part no. is 316-116710-2-C5 if I'm not mistaken, I paid about $60 for it. There is also aftermarket pieces available but I'm not so sure about them.

Just to confirm, does this fit for the 126710 and not just 116710?

These are the gen set that I've sent to my modder. Not sure if this will help you but I thought I'd share.




Man I’ve tried to search the reference guide, modding and accessories m2m sub forums but couldn’t find anything.

how do you find the reference number to buy a gen date wheel that will fit a CF 126710 batman?

what are differences from stock CF hands to gen hands?

as promised, here are some pictures of the watch on hand, I am very well pleased with the quality of the watch.

Looks like they’ve done something with engraving process on the ‘6’ and ‘8’ in the 18 to try and reduce the speed bump or join. The rough engraving looks completely different to the other numbers.

The texture of the engraving on 6 and 18 is completely different from the other numbers, this may give a different light reflection. The plausible result needs to be verified under natural and indoor lighting.

finally joined the poflex family. Definitely caught the bug.

bought from Reddit user /u/lykanjt instead of a TD like a noob, cause I was impatient. He sent me a video before hand (no direct QC pics) or alignment pics, and I agreed to buy the watch. I did directly ask him if everything was aligned and he said it was.

when I got the watch I was somewhat bummed because the bezel isn’t aligned perfectly, you can see it at the 12 o’clock and 18. if you got this watch with this alignment from a TD, would you have RLd it?

at the end of the day I blame myself because I should have just bought from a TD. He did graciously offer to pay half to realign the bezel with a modder (modder quoted 60 and he pays 30). Wish I just got an aligned watch straight OOTB but again I blame myself. Plus there are worse things that could happen with watches from china anyway, DOA, etc.

It's a small misalignement that happens even on gens, so not a reason to red light a rep. Don't worry, forget about this and enjoy your nice looking batman, most of the time you can't even see the engraving anyway

also, I sized the bracelet to have 4 links on the 6 o’clock side and 5 links on the 12 o clock side. Spring bar lock is in the fully outside position.

the clasp doesn’t sit perfectly in the middle of my wrist. But the watch case fits well. However I don’t have the option of using the bracelet extension cause it’s too tight when I use it to cut in 5mm.

wondering if I should put 6 links on the 12 o clock and 4 links on the 6 o’clock, and adjust the spring bar to the innermost position and play with that. Small wrist problems.

Gonna wait for a proper 1.6mm driver cause I stripped a screw and dinged a link already. Fucking noobs

Your clasp seems to be installed upsidedown, perhaps that already would improve things a little bit already.

Otherwise I would definitely try iterations of clasp springbar positions and addition/removal of links - it should be doable.

Best of luck.

Thanks! That’s what I wanted some reassurance by a veteran. Going to get the bezel aligned by a modder cause it does bother me.

Watch looks great man. Dont be bummed, im hearing that all the CF watches came with the bezel mis-alignment...even if you sourced from a TD

Good to know. From reading I’ve learned to temper expectations from a $500 watch.

Does anyone know the reference number for a DW that will fit a CF VR3186? Not too many DW on eBay or on M2M

Either have a local watchmaker or you can realign the bezel insert if it bothers you
