It's just a sticker nothing to worry about.
I ordered a GMT II 126710 with Jubilee bracelet by GMF V6 with VR movement, I will get the casing opened to check movement later, but is it me or do you guys see a blue crown? I see it in the photo and also the video at the end which i took a screenshot, that's not normal right?

how would I be able to tell the difference betw VR3186 and the not good VS3285 movement?
is there side by side pictures of the open back casing somewhere?

SA3285 on top (like yours)
You can also verify with a video of time setting
VR - fwd crown = fwd hands
SA - fwd crown = backward hands

Yes it does bro, I had checked your time setting hands movement in the video. The SA3285 hour jumps backwards with fwd crown also, so that's a double check.

Eric has responded on Reddit saying the 3285 comes with the jubilee, the 3186 with the oyster. Even though the video above shows a jubilee with the 3186 from Hont? Is that because it’s a V5?

Trusty has a drop down menu to choose the movement you want. They started doing that with V5. Amazingly, the TD menu even says the VR is RECOMMENDED.
Trusty doesn't even list a V5 Jubilee anymore but the oyster V5 still has the movement choice menu.
Https://trustytimewatch.io/index.php...ducts_id=23927
Both V6 versions are available with either movement through the menu.
https://trustytimewatch.io/index.php...ort=20a&page=1
The SA3285 first appeared at V4. The whole reason for a V5 (in the Pepsi) was to offer the VR movement choice because sales were poor. The version numbers V4 - V6 across all GMF GMTs have negligible changes aside from their movement shuffling (the GMF Batman did get a new insert at V5).
The two movements are interchangeable in the case and take the same handset and datewheel. The difference is in quality and cost. The Pepsi is available with Jubilee and VR3186. If a customer specifically asks for those two features, that's what he should get regardless of what version number the factory or the TD says it is.
That response from Eric at Geektime is proof that neither the factory nor the dealer can keep it straight or get it right. And the customer gets screwed in the end.
The real issue here is that GMF either bought or is under contract to purchase a huge number of inferior, poorly selling movements and has come up with convoluted ways to force their sales. This includes using them in their pseudonym factory JDF watches.

Ive been contemplating on whether to go GMF or CF and pulled the trigger on a GMF 126710BLRO V6 with Jubilee bracelet and emphasized with the TD it must be a VR3186 movement.
Fingers crossed this is what GMF supply. ????

It's a garbage movement bro stay away. And no it won't take a gen 3285 dial, it has 313x feet holes at 13 and 37 minutes.

It will take gen hands but not the dial bro
"And no it won't take a gen 3285 dial, it has 313x feet holes at 13 and 37 minutes."
That's a very good thing for you so now you won't be tempted to compromise and use a poor quality movement.
