VRF suddenly released the SA3186 movement....no rumours at all.

Very impressive, the first 3186 super clone movement... Same looking and function as genuine movement, blue spring! Finally it can turn the date back... :) Check my video.

Looks good bro. Hopefully they used a better quality jumping hour spring. Is it an ARF watch?

Yes those are both legit. The first is what RWI called the VR3185 as it is based on the gen 3185.

The second is the next-gen rep 3135 (new balance config), modded with GMT bits into the VR3186
It is used in several new upper tier GMT reps like CF.

Be advised that shipping from China is ultra slow right now. I have a pkg from Ali Ex that was returned to vendor and then re-sent again. Original shipping date 27 Aug, it still doesn't show having left China.

The VR is the best GMT movement. But the movement in your link is not a VR but the SA which is not the best (but not the famous timebomb). The order is VR > SH (used by ARF) > SA (unfortunately used by various factories).

This ^

You can easily identify the movements by their balance assembly. Both VRs are good

The "JDF" in your link is identical (and likely IS) a BP, which is discussed in the thread below. PT has a very bad track record recently of mislabeling their factory listings.
