GMF Explorer II 226570 with VR3285 Made with Gen as Reference
- Thread starter trustytime
- Start date
I just checked the photos on theonewatch & puretime and there the date wheel is still off. Ultimately we will have to wait for the first buyers to submit qc to get a better look.
One more question for the experts, as I am currently waiting for qc of a gmf 226570
(...and couldn't have picked a worse timing after hopelessly waiting for a C+ with dd3285 or Clean release of the Polar for way too long):
Is the movement in this c+ model the same VR3285/SH3285 which can be found in the gmf model?
No. They have the incorrect date window position just like JVS...
But they do have a nicer rehaut...lol.

afternoon fellow horologists ,
Just to wade in on the convo I just received the GMF v6 polar dial. I’m No expert, but crown looks good date window looks in the right place and date is centered. Numbers on the bezel very from comparing to gens online, it seems some some have the thicker, some have thinner numbers if the watch is post sept 22, however I could be wrong.
the only real thing I’m struggling with is. In person the dial markers look like an off white compared to the hands. But in the photos I’ve attached they look the same color. Has anyone else found this when in they have the watch in hand or am I over thinking?
I’ve looked at so many pictures online as well as videos and the Gens seem to have the same white color markers and hands in pictures and vids
Any comments would be welcomed as this now puts me off and makes me think I should have gone for the black dial. To me this seems like an easy tell that it’s a rep when someone looks at it?

If you want 1:1, swap out the rep dial for a gen dial. At the end of the day, it's a rep and from a few feet away, people aren't going to see the difference especially when the lighting is low.
If someone recognizes it as a rep it means that they're also in this forum, so you just won a friend
I've always wanted to ask strangers with nice watches; "which factory" for shits and giggles secretly hoping they are a part of the community.If someone recognizes it as a rep it means that they're also in this forum, so you just won a friend

Not an expert but looking at this picture from Hodinkee the markers are not white…

I'm something of a collector myself
Nobody will ever notice this. Too much depends on the light conditions, both inside and outside. Reflections, how you move the wrist.
Frankly, i find it to be the watch for almost any occasion, so different from all the Subs that everybody has (gen or rep).

Thanks for all the comments gents, I’m loving the watch so far seems to wind nicely no issues so far with the jump date.
Seems the new GMF Have it pretty close. I saw the C+F version dropped on InTime the day after I pulled the trigger on the Gmf version which was waiting for but I think the GMF looks better
