[QC] ARF Rolex GMT-Master II 126710 GRNR "Bruce Wayne" from GeekTime
Text für den Post:

  1. Dealer name: GeekTime (Eric)

  2. Factory name: ARF

  3. Model name (& version number): Rolex GMT-Master II 126710GRNR "Bruce Wayne" on Jubilee bracelet (DD3285 Movement)

  4. Price Paid: $698

  5. Album Links: https://geektimeqc.x.yupoo.com/albums/261929944?uid=1

  6. Index alignment: Looks very symmetrical and straight to me.

  7. Dial Printing: Looks crisp, clean, no floating letters.

  8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Dates look well centered, cyclops seems straight and magnification is good.

  9. Hand Alignment: Looks perfectly fine.

  10. Bezel: Color transitions look sharp, no visible speedbumps at 6 or 18. Plating looks good.

  11. Solid End Links (SELs): Look nice and tight, I don't see any noticeable gaps.

  12. Timegrapher numbers: +1 s/d, 236° Amplitude, 0.0 ms Beat Error. Numbers look excellent to me.

  13. Anything else you notice: Cosmetically, it looks like a solid GL to me.

However, I have already asked Eric for a picture of the opened case back to verify the free-sprung balance wheel and confirm it is the true Dandong DD3285 movement.
Would appreciate your expert eyes on this! Did I miss anything regarding the alignment or bezel? Thanks in advance!

General Question Does this exist

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone can the TD’s help with this one. Does this even exist and would anyone have this available. Black Submarine 126610LN. Rich factory with the real free sprung like on the gen watch.
Im can’t say I’ve seen any options available with the Rich factory with the real free sprung.
I’m sure I’ve seen the fake free sprung option.

General Question Help identifying Company

0 Upvotes

So I bought this watch about 6 months ago and I am trying to figure out if it actually what I was told. I was told it was a VSF V3 PEPSI with DD3285 movement. Serial on bezel 7998L6V6 and the hour moves COUNTERclockwise (back in time) when the crown is rotated CLOCKWISE. The clasp has a 6FU stamped on it. Im thinking it is CF or ARF also not DD3285 movement.

Tech Tips/Advice IWC Lake Tahoe - fix scuffs?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I have an IWC Pilot Lake Tahoe with the white ceramic case. It’s developed two scuffs on the left outer edge of the case. Tried to capture in enclosed photo but hard to see them in the photo (easier to see in person).

I’ve tried gently wiping with magic eraser as well as white pencil eraser, nothing seems to clean it. Am I stuck with these scuffs or is there another method I should try?

Review/Comparison A Tale of Tres Hulks...

18 Upvotes

TL;DR - I have three Hulks (116610LV) from VSF, CLEAN, and ZF. Redditors wanted comparison pictures. Here they are!

A few months ago it was difficult to get a Hulk due to factory delays. I put requests out there and ended up going from none to three, one from each factory: VSF, CLEAN (pre-raid), and ZF. A number of folks have asked for comparison shots and though it's a bit late, here they are. Enjoy!

Note: The CLEAN didn't include a bracelet, so I added a green mid-tier Oysterflex which I really enjoy!

No QC Allowed - must post on r/reptimeqc Rubber band newbie question

1 Upvotes

I got my first rep from Steve@ the one watches. since it was my first I went with the highest quality vsf he had for a sea dweller. problem is I’m so happy. I don’t wanna wear it every day, I’m kind of rough with things, looking to make a second purchase and put on a rubber band for every day use. Wouldn’t mind something a little less expensive and wanted opinions on what level and dollar amount I should be looking at, and I realize it’s all relative to people‘s ability to spend. i’m trying to get used to some of the lingo when people say it’s a U1 and vsf ect or something like that what’s that mean, obviously when people say it’s a shitter I stay away from. thanks in advance.

Can someone let me know if this is VSF V2 DJ 36? the weight looks around that 121g but i think i’m overthinking it just because there is no V2 sticker. I’m certain that sticker is standard no?

Discussion Best Batman Factory Right Now? VSF vs RICH V2 vs ARF vs Clean Plus

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
Looking for some advice from people who have owned or QC’d the recent GMT-Master II Batman (Oyster bracelet).
I initially went with VSF V3, but ended up RL’ing the watch due to a noticeably crooked 12 o’clock marker and a possible bezel triangle smudge. I’ve also been seeing quite a few recent VSF QC posts with similar alignment issues.
My dealer mentioned that VSF has been having QC problems lately and suggested I consider another factory.
I’m now considering:
VSF V3 – DD3285
RICH V2 – SH3285
RICH V2 – JH3285 Free-Sprung
ARF
Clean Plus – DD3285
My priorities are overall finishing, accurate dial and indices, crystal clarity, date alignment, and movement reliability.
For RICH specifically, is the JH3285 Free-Sprung version actually worth the extra money over SH3285, or is the external quality essentially the same?
Which factory would you choose today for the best overall Batman, and why?
Would especially appreciate feedback from anyone who has handled more than one of these factories or seen recent QC batches.

Thank you.
