Thanks for sharing. Sure. The more pics the better. Wish I had a gen to compare to!

Also, I 99% think I know, but just in case, can you say which is the gen?

If only Clean/GMF would take a few drops from their blue ceramix mixture and put it in the red ceramic it would solve the "brownish" color and make it super great.

They can make almost everything else 98% genlike on the watch, dont understand the problem really. Would almost think it's on purpose :)

Yes bro...it's on purpose!!!

Gen vs GMF V6/Clean

Congrats on scoring the gen. The gen red is easily distinguished with its cherry hues. Something no rep insert has gotten right yet. I find some rep blue colors to be as pleasing or more than the many different gen blues so no real loss there IMO. The GMF has nicely rounded corners in the triangle so it's an acceptable option. We've come a long way in a short time.

KJ2020 Hey buddy can you help me with my QC's please, I'm not sure if it's the latest bezel?

Yep looks like a good one bro. It's the new insert. Have you verified the movement?

Andrew is refusing to open the case back or send me a video as it takes too long, guess it's impossible to tell the movement from these pictures?

Just been comparing my QC pics to some others and I can’t tell whether mine is missing the bezel lip or not? Can anyone confirm?

You can't tell from pics

KJ2020 Ok thanks. Any thoughts on the bezel lip?

GMF was never a standout in that feature. Not like the CF V2 and certainly not the Noob. Some GMFs I've seen look a little more pronounced than yours.

KJ2020 Hmm ok. I’m not sure whether to change to the clean version now? Do you think this GMF version is better than the clean V2 in terms of overall and in particular the insert?

Both have flaws bro. I call the inserts even, maybe from the same source different batches, maybe not. Too close to call. CF bezels are a shit show and about half of them will have to be disassembled to re-center the insert.

CFs - look at the triangles

GMF potential flaws are weak rehaut - thin and shallow, sometimes off centered in more than one place, weak or no lip, and getting stuck with a lousy SA3285 movement. TD not willing to provide proof is a red flag in my book.

Can anyone give advice if the TD won't photograph the movement or record a video of setting the time? It's like rolling the dice on a $600 purchase if we can't identify the movement when GMF are known to be unreliable in terms of supplying the correct movements...

1. Switch to a different watch, one easily flipped if you don't want to keep it.

2. Buy a GMF Pepsi from Li at Jtimewatch, who will provide this reasonable customer service request.

3. Don't use the other TD again.
