What is the likelihood that GMF are using an alternate supplier or version of the CHS mod that is more robust?

Zero. Complete BS.

Plus GMF can't even be bothered to trim the GMT hand hole surround to its proper size. It's larger than the hour hand hole surround beneath it. The surrounds should be the other way around.

If I am correct there is no version from GMF for the 2019 "Batgirl" 126710 with ICHS?
Best option with ICHS (A2836) from GMF would be the 116710 on oyster bracelet?

Anyone know if it would be possible to order the 116710 version from GMF with ICHS on a jubilee bracelet instead of the oyster?

That's what I have





Most dealers list both options on their website. If you have decided on a TD just email them and tell them what you want.

Are you saying you want a 116710 dial with Jubilee? The only difference is no dial coronet at 6 o'clock on the 116710. It's not likely a TD can get you one like this unless you source the Jubilee separately at extra cost. If you want a 126710 with Jubilee, send your TD this link.

Nice timepiece sir!
That's exactly the version I am looking for in terms of configuration.

I will send my TD an email and check, because I don't see them listing this configuration on their site at the moment.

Thanks for the link. That is the version I am looking for, the 126710 with dial coronet at 6 o'clock position and with Jubilee.
From what I have read the consensus is that the GMF A2836 ICHS movement is the option to go for if I want a more reliable movement?

I thought consensus was to wait and see what the new BLNR from ARF (likely coming out post CNY) is like ? Does everyone still think that will happen at some point in Feb?

Suppose it takes till May or June. Suppose the bezel insert has ugly speed bumps or the transition in the wrong place. Suppose you want a BLNR now.
In that case I would go for the GMF with the ICHS. A TD can get you one in whatever configuration you want, 11670 with oyster, 12670 with jubilee or the other way around. Like mine which is a 11670 without the coronet but with the jubilee

hi guys, congratulations for your explanations, Unfortunately I DO NOT understand anything about watches and I would like to buy a gmt 2 that works and that is as faithful as possible, maybe then I will change the glass or the date. Could you publish a couple of links with the three best gmt so I evaluate the aesthetics and buy? Thanks so much

Batman of course is the beautiful one :p
In that case I recommend the GMF BLNR with the A2836 ETA derived movement with the ICHS. It looks very similar to gen, bezel is the best oit there and the movement is solid and can be serviced and repaired by any watch smith. It is what I have and I am very happy with it.

the link I provided is to trustytime who is not a TD here, but you can send the link to any TD listed on this forum

Hi all, I am looking for a 'batgirl' and of course i have set out on my research journey. I have read through this post and many others carefully and I do have a couple of models in mind. What i however cannot see much information for is the BP edition. Does anybody have any particular experience with this model which they may kindly be willing to share with me.

For clarity - herewith link to model I reference:- https://www.intime05.co/rollie/6098...-black-dial-on-ss-jubilee-bracelet-a2836.html

Hey guys, somewhat new to the rep game.
Spent over an hour now looking for a good value 126710 BLNR rep on these forums, came out a little more confused.

Puretime recently listed - https://puretimewatch.io/gmt-master...-1-best-edition-on-ss-bracelet-sa3186-v2.html

I heard the GMF is a decent rep of the BLNR. Why is this version so cheap compared to alternatives?
Is it a Time bomb movement?
ICHS? (Or is this version CHS?)
The 316L steel instead of 904L?

To my amateur eye this GMF is pretty spot on for the most part. What am missing that makes this 200usd less than others?
Is it worth the buy or are there obvious tells?

Huge thanks

The listing advertises the watch movement to be based off the A2836, isn't that the "safe bet" movement?
