Those are great pics from Maj Williams. I think Li will take care of you on this.

FWIW, I've received a "newest version" of GMF CHNR insert QC with proper font that looks fine to my eye. Appears to be a 2-part construction from the rear and the slight speedbumps. https://imgur.com/a/FjSihHH

So got my updated QC picks and looks like the correct bezel this time.

Much happier now!

Just waiting on Lana to provide me a clip of the forward crown = forward movement for the vr3186.

That insert looks great. Shown below next to a random gen. Provided the movement is right the only real downside to this choice is the weak rehaut. The bezel lip is there but can be increased a little if desired. If the bezel operation is great like every GMF I've had, this is definitely a winner.

As promised here my qc - is looking decent to me.

Only thing which is concerning to me is the sticker on the back with 3285 as I specifically asked for the vr 3186. Will confirm with td before GL. Forward crown = forward hand - right?

CF OR GMF V6 ?

I currently have CF but the insert is not as good. GMFV6 looks really nice mare to have it looked before . any feedback on new v6?

These QC pics are so awesome. Your watch could easily be mistaken for a gen

In the mean time I am still waiting for my blue dial pepsi

Study the balance assemblies carefully. The two regulator arms are reversed in positions, and the shock absorber blocks are different colors.

Also the SA3235 uniquely has 7 little holes around the center of the rotor, near the screw.

While im ultimately not sure what move was the correct one, I decided against a V6 GMT BLNR and went Clean ... I have their BLRO and the bezel on mine isnt terrible so hoping for the best! Will def need to watch QC pics to ensure they dont give me a lipped bezel!
