That's a good price bro, I paid $170. Just make sure to get one that's blistered.

No, it's listed as used. Cheapest blistered on there right now is $215. Why go for the blistered sale, to confirm its geniune Rolex and now a rep part?
Thank you everyone for this very informative thread comparing the ARF and VRF GMT Il versions. I have been looking for a base donor mid case for a Franken 116710LN that comes closest to gen spec. Most of the cases I have come across had movement mounts that were screw, tab and ring. Looks like the VRF case comes closest using only screws to mount the movement. Does anyone know of another 116710/126710 case that uses only screws? Thank you...

I had purchased the last blistered one for $175
Check with misiekped. He might have blistered also.
This is pretty important part, I would stick with blistered only. Anyways, seller fierygems has some Pre-owner listed for $125 on ebay. They are a pretty reputable seller, have purchased many parts from this seller. Good luck!!

You're Saying I Can Sell?
I would like to know if gen bezel with insert fit into the ARF perfectly? Or is there and mod/removal of ring needed?

Because of this thread, I'm giving up on the Submariner and pursuing the GMT-Master II 116710 LN. Just emailed JTime. Really excited. Seems like I could just buy an ARF and wear it. I might replace the crystal, but these are so dazzling to my eyes, I think I'll be good to go!! Pretty excited!
Same as mine but mine has Prof Crystal now and replacing bezel and date wheel with gen ones and got rubber and arf bracelet for it.

Nice bro
would you accept this one?
It's against the forum rules to post your QC pics and ask members if they'd accept or not. It's up to you to use your judgement. If you have a particular concern (i.e. do you think the date marker at 9 o'clock is misaligned), you're welcome to ask that.

As I was replacing the ARF tube on my 116710LN case for a GEN I got the nice surprise to discover that the REP one was glued ...
Anyone else experiencing that ?
Thx

ARF case and bracelet with :
GEN insert and bezel assembly (minus the retaining ring)
GEN crystal
GEN dial
GEN datewheel

The insert is slightly misaligned to the left and I can't get it straight - this drives me nuts. KJ2020 in the end I used ARF's retaining ring as I saw no diff. with the original one maybe that's where I made a mistake...
By the way, ARF's bezel assembly is real good
hey did you have to switch out any parts to install the gen crystal? or was it a straight swap? thanks!

Straight swap

Straight swap if you reuse the arf gasket, gen didn't want to fit with my arf retention ring. Have you been successful with gen gasket?
I have vrf GMT master ll has Prof Crystal, gen bezel/insert, gen Green DW apart from bracelet I can't tell difference between gen and my rep. Hands and dial look same and putting everest rubber strap on with gen clasp be all Good.
