I just got my QC. Boy is the bezel very dirty... seems to be a common theme. Dirt is no reason to red light, going forward

Will do when I have my Pepsi,
I had ordered it from Kurvasit a non TD.
they use to be a good source before but they are very bad now.
don’t don’t respond sometimes after 3 weeks when I ask for refund.
a week a go they told me to ship it within 2 days and provide me tracking number yesterday i asked if they shipped but don’t replyed..

this order is taking over 3 months..

but if they even send me the watch I will do a side by side for sure..

Same. VRF and GMF have been the best overalls thus far in my eyes for the BLRO, but noob killed it with the insert.
This new VRF insert however looks greatly improved, in the pictures at least.

We need a pro's view. Anything we missing? The movement looks like it isn't a timebomb either.
Can someone summon the almighty KJ? He's the legend of the these forums.

I don't know if TD picture has wrong white balance but the insert color (both Red and Blue) looks a bit off on the new VRF. I think they tried to replicate the MKI version of the Pepsi insert but it doesn't line up for me. But I must say, the 6 and 18 transitions are almost perfect!!

I can see what you mean, but if you backdate and compare this to the previous VRF pepsi release, that was much brighter and had stronger MK1 vibes.
I recently was lucky enough to hold, wear and take some photos of a gen MK2 BLRO and I was surprised how it wasn't as muted in colour as I had thought.
Comparing the photos of the (gen) granted it was in a shop with different lighting, this new VRF is actually remarkably close to the current mk2.

Hard to tell which version they try to copy until we see some real pictures or some QC pics....

It sure has very good transition on 6 & 18.

But what's up with that datewheel?....god....look so ugly.
