GMF 2019 Batman 126710?

[KJ2020]

Might as well ask this here as all the GMT II experts are reading. If I would like to order the Jubilee bracelet for my Noob does it have be a Noob Jubilee or others will fit as well? Can I order one from TDs or they come only with the watch?

TDs can source bracelets separately, you would have more cooperation if you make it part of a larger order (also buy a watch) but a bracelet is a big enough part many will do it alone. I would try a Noob bracelet first, better chance of fit. GMF may also fit but if you read this thread back far enough you'll see BP/GMF bracelets can have rough inner link edges that can be sharp to the touch. Repeat issue with BP as I have a BP Pres bracelet that was unwearable til I polished it down.

Hey guys been following this thread for a while now, I’m a newbie into replicas, can anyone point me into the direction of the batman with the more reliable movements on a oyster bracelet?

Check anything that does not have Correct Hand Stack (CHS) and you're safe.

I have the Noob CHS and right now at least it works great.

Thanks for the advice mate, just what I wanted to hear.

Fingers crossed the CHS still works when the Jubilee arrives.

newbie also here, from what I understand after reading multiple threads I can make a conclusion that
In terms of movement longevity: ICHS movement a2836 > CHS movement a3186.
In terms of more genuine aesthetics: CHS obviously

Correct but it's just not the aesthetics, the time setting with CHS works also like gen when with the ICHS it does not meaning with CHS when you pull the crown to position 2 you can set the hour hand independently (hour and date will change). Position 3 - GMT hand, minutes and date changes.

If I'm correct with ICHS it's position 2 only date will change and position 3 all the hands move simultaneously (hour, minute and GMT).

For me I have to say I would choose the CHS for the gen like time setting before the aesthetics (as it's a GMT watch and I work daily with countries ranging from Australia to Mexico and everything in between it's a tool for me).

If I would be buying it again I would go for the ICHS for reliability (I was looking for GMT II and a brand new Noob CHS in plastic popped up in sales thread here so I went for it).

Anybody got the new GMF Batman with 3285 clone yet and can share some pictures? I think the movement is the same as the 3187 clone, only that they changed the printing on the rotor from 3187 to 3285.
Anything now from the outside?

GMT ICHS movement position 2 has 2 functions. Clockwise crown rotation advances the date, counter clockwise rotation moves the GMT hand backward in 1 hour steps. So functionally it's no harder to use as a tool than moving the hour hand in steps on a CHS. Although obviously for quick reference (phone calls, etc) the bezel is the best option.

 

[Kalev007]

That's correct yes I didn't know it at the time.

Though I own the CHS and it's still working I would in that case go for ICHS for my next watch for reliability. Probably going to get the Pepsi GMT on Jubilee as well.

My CHS is gaining approx +3 mins per day but I don't risk getting it serviced as long as it works. Been turning the crown clockwise in pos 3 each morning to correct the time (I like living on the edge).

3 mins per day is pretty a lot. It would bother me. Can other people with a CHS GMT confirm they have the same problem with time accuracy?

I noticed on trustytime website, that the presentation video of the BP Factory BLNR A2836 with 316 steel and the presentation video of the GMF BLNR with 904 Steel are the same.
Is there any difference between these watches? The price difference is 140 USD lol

Post some links I'll take a look. Probably the only difference is 316L vs 904L. Also the GMF can have bad rehaut engraving on the left side.

We all know Trusty is not a TD here, ppl looking to buy can use the links to look and buy from a TD on RWI.

I guess Andrew just embedded the wrong video

Sooo my QC arrived .... looks great to me ... except for that it does not have the little Rolex crown at 6PM so it does not look appropriate with the Jubilee .... asked the TD to put it on an Oyster instead. I really could not choose but since people report the Jubilee wears so comfortly I went for the 2019 version with the crownette at 6PM.
Would you reject it out right, accept it with an oyster or just accept it with the Jubilee? Daft question probably I know a lot of you don't like the Jubilee ....

If I were you I would ask TD to get me one with coronet
at 6 or get one on oyster bracelet to be accurate.
But I actually prefer jubilee on Batman - it looks great.

Ultimately you have to decide bro. GMF still has stock of the mislaigned rehaut cases ('X' at 43 1/3, etc.) so if you're OK with that I don't think anything else is a dealbreaker. Plenty of people put a jubilee on their earlier version gen without the 6 o'clock crown, so that alone won't get you called out. Still a speed bump in the insert at 6 and 18, at least your color transition at 18 is in the right place unlike many newer samples. In fact this could be an older version they just put a jubilee on. That's not a bad thing. Your DW looks good, not too thin like some are. If you are OK with the jubillee, I would take it, you could do a lot worse.

 

[Kalev007]

Which ever you choose right now you will change your mind three times while the watch is in transit. Than it arrives and you discover it’s the most beautiful watch in the world. After wearing it for a week or two and studying everything there is to know about the GMTs you’ll start doubting again your decision, than you start looking at the different versions of the pepsi GMT and 30 posts later just before buying it you discover the all black bezel GMT is actually the coolest one of them. And then you start looking at the GMT I and how cool that actually is and RWI starts to consume most of your days...

I am OK with the rehaut misaligment. Does not bother me really. I saw the colour transition in the right spot. Agree wit the DW, I checked it againts a few "real Swiss" ones and i is not bad. Thanks, I will just accept the way it is

Nah I am not too bad, once I make a decision and have something I get attached to it and accept it for the way it is.
Going over all the Daytona posts now, Noob v3, clear factory bezel and all that .... this rep world certainly has a lot going on ....

Thanks for the replies!

I actually purchased the GMF batman with 3186 movement about 4 months ago. Only after did I hear about how "terrible" the movement is. The rotor is noisy- sounds like there is sand in the bearings... but it has quieted down a bit since I've been wearing it. Unfortunately this probably means that there are tiny metal shavings floating around my movement, lol. Anyway- the correct hand stack was important to me at the time- and I just assumed I could throw another ETA or similar movement in when this one broke. Guess not- but it has been going strong for me since I bought it. I am extremely careful setting it, and try not to mess with the crown at all (I set it pretty infrequently). In hindsight, I would have dealt with the incorrect hands for the convenience of being able to replace the movement. I have tried to locate a source for a 3186CHS movement, but I can't find one of those, either. Just thought I would comment here, however, that I haven't had any issues with the watch yet. It's gorgeous, too- I can gone over it time and again with a loupe * looking* for flaws and can't find any. The hollow hand tube, obviously, but other than that I am a happy camper. It's a great watch and I love it. =)
Now to find a yachtmaster... =) Gonna do my research on this one first. Also, big ups to everyone in this forum. This is my go-to source for info on my watches now. What a great community!
