Here's a peek at mine (I hate jubilees so I went for oyster). Apart from the rehault misalignment, which doesn't bother me, I think it looks alright!

Gingerbubba, how do the bezel numbers compare with ARF? In you pic they look great but in a lot of others they look like shit...

Good comparison photo!
It shows that gmf insert is pretty good.
when it comes to color I’m not sure how much closer rep
factories can get.
numbers should be slightly thicker and just tinny bit
brighter but gmf is really good.

It all depends on lighting. In low light they will be gray and insert will look almost all black. Gen insert also look almost all back in low light.

I've not got the watch in hand yet I'm afraid, those are just my (approved) QC pics.

I agree, insert looks good here, in same natural lighting conditions & next to a Gen. No better rep insert (without modding) at the moment.

Most rep inserts are greatly improved by a good paint mod. The only stock insert I've ever seen that doesn't turn dark in low light is the VRF Hulk insert. No matter what angle you view it from, the markers still look silver. Pretty amazing. Not gen-like in this respect but arguably better.

Beside the bezel and cyclops I don”t see any difference between the gen and gmf. Is the gmt function really working in de gmf? And is the thickness of the watch the same as gen?

If you look closely at the rehaut engraving it's a mess. Letters are supposed to be centered on the minute tic marks and evenly spaced. I rejected a GMF Bluesy for this and swiched to a Noob.

Of course the GMT function works. It has the incorrect hand stack, as all 2836 5 and 6 digit GMT reps do. The rep GMT hand is on the bottom, the hour hand is there on the gen.
