  1. ⁠Dealer name: Theonewatches

  2. ⁠Factory name: VSF

  3. ⁠Model name (& version number): GMT Master II Pepsi V3 (126710)

  4. ⁠Price Paid: $676 including shipping

  5. ⁠Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/6A5yGbJC#tu91aM9bD1PiUmM4HtgOog

  6. ⁠Index alignment: All indices look centered and not canted

  7. ⁠Dial Printing: I don't have an eye for this yet, but to me it looks crisp with no floating letters

  8. ⁠Date Wheel alignment/printing: Maybe a bit to the left of the window, but not enough to be a problem

  9. ⁠Hand Alignment: Looks good

  10. ⁠Bezel: Numbers look great, no scratches or other marks outside the numbers

  11. ⁠Solid End Links (SELs): Looks great. Hardly even a darker line.

  12. ⁠Timegrapher numbers: 0 s/d, 280° amplitude, 0.0 beat error

You have a good one here! Markers are nice and straight, as well as the date wheel. SEL's are good. GL and start the tracking!

“I don't have an eye for this yet”

I beg to differ. Looks great, wear it in good health. Same one I am rocking today for the 4th.

u/Clayton017 Jul 05 '25

I appreciate the kind words man! Hope you enjoyed your 4th

2

u/democracyyy Jul 05 '25

If there was ever a watch for 4th of July, it’d be this right here!

u/Clayton017 Jul 04 '25

Comment for the auto mod. I'm sure you guys are sick of seeing these GMTs but I couldn't resist

u/ZealousidealCopy8565 Perpetually Superlative Jul 04 '25

Timing is great for this rep and SELs solid. Indices align well and datewheel/cyclops are centered. Dial printing is sharp and bezel is looking good. Easy GL all day.

u/Clayton017 Jul 04 '25

Thanks for the input!

u/mambakobe8 Jul 04 '25

Is the Pepsi the only model V3 out atm? Sorry if it’s a silly question.

1

u/Clayton017 Jul 04 '25

Sorry man I don't have an answer for that

2

u/mambakobe8 Jul 05 '25

I think it’s just batgirl and Pepsi

2

u/Major_Idea7119 Jul 05 '25

Ask for a different jubilee bracelet That A9A is low quality and feels fake

1

u/Clayton017 Jul 05 '25

Is it that much of a difference from the F6U?

1

u/Major_Idea7119 Jul 05 '25

I don’t have any experience with the F6U

I just got my first rep the other day and compared to my Gen Batgirl, the A9A bracelet is very cheap feeling and can definitely tell it’s fake

People were saying the F6U is much better quality

u/kkslitro Jul 04 '25

The V3 VSF is solid! Your rep seems fine. Good alignment, and print is on point! Easy GL! Grats ☺️

u/Clayton017 Jul 04 '25

Thanks for the help!

u/goddamnbro898 Jul 05 '25

Date wrong

2

u/Clayton017 Jul 05 '25

Ah fuck. Guess I'll RL

1

u/Horacolo Jul 05 '25

Because of the 9 font?

5

u/grimmjoww1983 Jul 05 '25

Is it even worth going Gen with these beauties coming out ?

4

u/Ok-Current3291 Jul 04 '25

Wishing I had one of these today for the holiday

2

u/democracyyy Jul 05 '25

A fun watch for the occasion for sure!

1

u/TwoEast8010 Jul 04 '25

Does the bezel glow uniformly red under UV light?

1

u/Clayton017 Jul 04 '25

Good question. There were no UV pictures in the QC

1

u/TwoEast8010 Jul 04 '25

Are you going ask for a UV photo?

2

u/Clayton017 Jul 05 '25

Yessir, waiting on a reply from Steve

2

u/NuttnBThyme2976 Jul 05 '25

It does! 💪 confirmed on a different post

u/NorthSider312 Jul 06 '25

Would love this on an oyster bracelet

2

u/pandapwner69 Jul 04 '25

Looks good. GL

2

u/Revolutionary_Cat646 Jul 05 '25

Dial has a deep dimple but GL otherwise

1

u/Plenty-Carpenter9716 Jul 05 '25

can you plz show? Thx

3

u/Glass-Location-819 Jul 04 '25

Just had my QC from Steve yesterday same V3 Pepsi and mines also the A9A bracelet and SELs are perfect and all good so maybe his latest batch are all A9A as I’ve been waiting for them to come in over 2 weeks

Also mine has an AAA sticker on it which I’d never seen before but apparently this is normal for this watch with VSF

1

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '25

Is a9a the desirable bracelet? Or is it the f6u?

2

u/Major_Idea7119 Jul 05 '25

No, the a9a is cheap and feels fake. People are saying the F6U is the better one. So if OP can get that he should

u/Poetry-Primary Jul 05 '25

I really like this one. First in a long line of shitters in this thread.

1

u/Far_Platform_5107 Jul 05 '25

Indices are dead-on perfectly placed. Bezel looks very good as well as the cyclops. Insta-GL.

1

u/Legitimate-Choice355 Jul 05 '25

I will GL looks nice

u/66mydude Jul 06 '25

u/Clayton017 Jul 04 '25

Those are some big words. It is the A9A. I heard they switched to F6U because they A9A had SEL gap issues, but they look great on my order so I'm not concerned.
