New VRF Pepsi GMT Max

Noob is perfect for meteorite version:

That insert looks so nice! Shame about the movement.

It's vr3185 with gen parts, a work horse i would say.

i bought Batman v11 noob and ordered insert separately.

Purchasing a noob insert separately for a custom GMT build is the way to go! Might grab the new ARF Batman and do the exact same thing.

If you wanna do the exact same thing, get vrf or noob v11 batman instead of arf. arf batman's sh3185 isn't reliable as vr3185 in vrf or noob v11

That's new to me, I need to study up on GMT movements, thanks

New ROF Batman is worth considering too, the insert is much better than the Noob

It would be good to have some more views of the Pepsi ROF from people who know more than me. It looks good from pictures but I can't honestly tell what the flaws are. There doesn't appear to be the soeedbumps of the VRF and has roughly the same sort of colour as the Noob. Seems to be a good option but is this an unknown factory in terms of build quality, or do people have prior experience of them?

Anyone have a tutorial on removing and reseating the bezel insert? Mine came a bit misaligned.

I think you must look in YouTube. I have any info from yt how disassembling a Rolex bezel insert.

Ah yes, saw that thread about 10 minutes after I posted that. You really are an encylopaedia of knowledge on this matter.

Bro that's an easy link and it has to come undone so you can access the springbar to adjust the link to the other detents. I would try soaking it overnight in WD-40. If that doesn't do it, you may have to get creative with some kind of brace against the outer sections of the link so you can exert greater force on it without damaging anything. I've had a few that were stubborn too.

(On reps they should call these "hard links", haha)

So there was plastic from it being wrapped pinched in and keeping it stuck. Even under the bezel plastic stuck and clasp.

so that’s whatever. For future reference. If anyone’s is stuck. They have the plastic stuck in it around it. Thought I was gonna break it or bend something. It did come loose

Looking further into this. Did you buy the red GMT hand separately as well? As the batman has a blue GMT hand

I use genuine hands.

 

[Duckber]

So here's what I'm thinking of doing:

Buy base watch, replace crystal and insert with Noob.

With that in mind, could I just use the original VRF and not the Max version? Seems like the older version uses the same movement and from what I understand only upgraded the insert.

Little insert comparison for you guys:

Noob vs vrf max vs gmf:

Can you let me know what the factory is the base case for that meteor dial one?

He used a Noob v11 BLNR and gen hands

Yeah my apologies I went back and seen the more in depth explanation. My one issue with using the v11 base is the SEL flushness. And when I saw that photo I was blown away by how nice they look. And I've come to find it had to be modified a bit.

oascom , can you elaborate your SEL fix on the Noob? I think this is the best way to go right now. That looks great.

For buyers who don't have any plan to do franken or mod, which Pepsi, GMTshould I buy? Noob, GMF or this VR Max?
