Here are the in-hand pics from the watch I posted a QC of way back when. Ton of macros and a bunch of photos showing the transition on the bezel insert (no bump at all). It's the GMF V3. It's new owner loves it, and I'm not talking in the 3rd person. It's not my watch, lol. Credit goes toGoddes for the photos and the watch.

I checked in yesterday and Li told me “need some more time to find you a nicer gmf V3” so it looks like he’s on he hunt. It also looks like everyone is in the same boat still waiting. Like 20min later Lana sent my QCs on a vrf I had on order so they’re ontop of things over there.
Patience, my friend. I know I’d much rather wait for a good watch with solid details then get one with flaws in a short time.

The watch looks good but the pics blow. Come on @goddess, what are you using for a camera? Although maybe I shouldn’t ask for pics because it’s just going to make me impatient.

Lol yeah she mentioned the pics were quick and dirty. From what I understand shes having trouble getting it off her husbands wrist
No kidding! I would like to put my name first in line to buy if they decide they don't like it.

Hi, I got the 3186 CHS timebomb and as I was experimenting with it a bit, now it stops working after some hours, no matter if I wear it or not. Always fully winded etc. To make a long story short: can I easily change the movement to the new Superclone? If not, what would I have to do? And: where do I get a single superclone movement? Cheers
If you plow through this thread you'll find some pointers. It's beyond my expertise but the short answer is no, it's not a straight forward swap.

Well.... Here we go.
Let's compare.
The standard...
New QCs
VS.
It's amazing what a fraction of an inch will do. On the top (newer) pics, the transition point is slightly higher. It's very slight (in distance) but it's quite noticible.
Also, what you can't see in these pics is the speedbump. And maybe that's a testamanet to how small of a detail it is. I'm not sure as I haven't had a watch with one yet. But in the pics I recieced via email the speed bump was quite noticible in the bottom (older) set.
Where as in the newer set (top) set, the transition point was so much slighter. At least it seemed so in the full resolution pics emailed from Li.

I'd just like to point out a few things.
1. While that first one was a V3, it is obvious there are some variations. Both the transition point and the speedbump.
2. I woke up at like 3:30 am and as usual, while waiting for QC pics, what did I do? I check my email and stay up all night studying them.

I requested another. Im not a stickler but I just can't stare at that bezel on a daily basis and be ok. It will bother me.

What do you have there?Just a couple of Pics from my QC for comparison from Andrew:
ROLGGMT185 - GMT II 12610BLNR Jub 904 SS/SS Noob Asia 3285 CHS
The insert looks nice but that isn't the GMF CHS.

Oh I know. I already did. Thank you. That's one of the reasons I couldn't go back to sleep. Lol.
I've been staring at it and comparing it to all the different Gens and V3s and they did a really good job here. (just a few of the collages).
