Aramis2288 6,245 Posted June 14, 2021 Hence.... I wasted 30 mins of my time. But then, I knew it would happen. So its on me. I think it looks great. Wear it for 9 months, compare to a V2 or V3, if they are better, M2M it, and buy again. Better yet, just go sell a kidney and buy a gen. All the whining stops. Or does it?This. +1. Basically just follow the flow:Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intresting 21,672 Posted June 14, 2021 I have a Stienhart Batman Titanium 500. Love it to bits because it looks more like a Steinhart original than a Rolex copycat homage. The ceramic Pepsi / Batman is probably the only ceramic Rollie I can come to like. Much prefer the vintage aluminum bezels. But never say never....

Ziggymarly 39 Posted June 15, 2021 CF/ZZF crystals always disappointing for those of us who cba modding Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aramis2288 6,245 Posted June 15, 2021 Sorta. But then every factory's crystal with cyclops was bit disappointing before the VSF (which is also not perfect, but as close as we managed to get thus far). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rek001 12 Posted June 15, 2021 Looks very good to me - and I'm fortunate that I'm not cursed with the immediately-tear-it-to-bits syndrome, thereby allowing me to enjoy my reps to their fullest. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weezkid 11 Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Noob's Pepsi was good, wish I can still get it, still looking for one M2M.

thejudge 29 Posted June 15, 2021 Looks pretty good but the prices of these are starting to get a bit high now, $500+ is a bit of a high price for a rep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intresting 21,672 Posted June 15, 2021 think they are cheaper than Noob's offerings before they got shut down... and better in quality... still 500 bucks is expensive... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BoobBandit 1,311 Posted June 15, 2021 Looks pretty good but the prices of these are starting to get a bit high now, $500+ is a bit of a high price for a rep.I agree, the prices are starting to get a bit much. 500+ for a rep watch with an unproven movement?

Aramis2288 6,245 Posted June 15, 2021 think they are cheaper than Noob's offerings before they got shut down... and better in quality... still 500 bucks is expensive...Indeed it is, but on the other hand I would rather spend $500 on the best rep there is rather than i.e. $300 for something very mediocre. On the other hand I wouldn't mind paying $300 for what now costs $500.Sent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThis GMT clone movement is an interesting topic. I am wondering whether the differences in how the balance bridge looks like on the Clean/ZZF clone movement comparing to 'old' VR clones can be attributed only to an aesthetic change or is it a completely new clone movement we are dealing with here.

thejudge 29 Posted June 15, 2021 So how does this compare to the GMF 126710BLRO which on paper has the more accurate (to the gen) clone 3285 movement ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intresting 21,672 Posted June 16, 2021 Waiting for someone who buys one and unpacks and review, hopefully with a gen comparison Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same stuff, they simply turned the hairspring stud and regulator in a less accessible and more difficult to regulate area, rotating them 180°. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
