GMF 2019 Batman 126710?
- Thread starter Mancster
- Start date
hmmm these look sweet. Thanks to all the peeps putting up pics and comparisons. With a mum in New Zealand and friends in Europe I actually have a "need" in my life for a GMT. I was actually thinking of getting the recent Christopher Ward pepsi GMT. However that Batman/Batgirl has always sang louder to me than the Pepsi. I am probably going to order one. I can live with the high-ish crystal as my daily wearer is a Speedy. Is the current consensus to get the ICHS with the ETA clone movement for reliability and wearabilitty? A "caller GMT" as opposed to a "traveler GMT" would be fine for me as I only travel to NZ once a year so that would be another check in the ICHS versus CHS conundrum ....
Here is mine
I‘m sold! Looks stunning to me. Only a paint mod. There is nothing more to mod or what do you mean?
I will have to order one as long as GMF nails the date + cyclops like that. Black hole effect looks like gen to me. Also the surroundings of the cyclops like gen... dayum
Is the ICHS version the same quality like the CHS version? Maybe someone has the ICHS version from GMF and can post a picture.
Is there a pinion hole where the hands are fixed? Or is it closed?

Seeing a lot of people mentioning the A3187 but intime only has a Noob V9 with A3186 listed on the site. Is there a difference in the movements? Sorry if it's a 'noob' question!

No difference except the fake stamp on the fake deco plate that should be removed as a potential source of loose useless parts ready to foul your jury rigged A2824.

You can never tell for certain until you try how any rep bracelet will fit any rep watch other than the one it came with. That said ARF bracelets are the most interchangeable and it would be an easy flip if it doesn't work for what you want now, or just keep it for a future use which you will certainly find if you hang around reps long enough.
guys I know this is a batman post, but has anyone have experiences with a GMF 116710LN CHS or no CHS?
I was previously thinking about the BLNR but decided to look at the LN, looks awesome too!

I heard that GMF is still not using real ceramic for the bezel. Is that a confirmed fact or just rumours? Or even a lie?
I know that the first batches were not made of real ceramic (just painted bezel). Would like to get your opinions.

In this youtube vid there is a Batgirl side shot at around 4:16. The crystal looks slightly raised also to my eyes. Watch'all think? the reason I am asking is that I am about to pull the trigger on one of these. The rehaut inscription issue woud not bother me but the high crystal would.

Your saying GMF BAtman Crystal is higher than the gen?
GMF crystal is inexplicably high

New to this game but this one seems to fit that bill. I think the other sellers have that variant as well

Thx. It is clearly higher. I just wonder how much higher IRL and how much it would bother me ....
This watch is powered by the A2836 movement. The way I understand it is that this is the Asian ETA movement the Swiss variant of which powers the various "caller GMT" or "non true GMT" watches where the 24 hour hand can be set independently, versus the Rolex, Omeaga, and IIRC Baselword Black Bay Tudor GMT also, which have a "traveler GMT", or "true GMT" where the hour hand can be set independently so each time a traveler crosses a time zone he can adjust his watch by just setting the hour hand only.
The CHS is powered by the a3186 moement which refers to the asian clone of the rolex 3186 movement. These have the "real GMT" where the hour hand can be set independently

Same! Don’t we have a review with the gen side by side here on the forum ? That would be great help
