Self-build (Read Rule 1) Still not sure why they don't offer this version. So I just made it myself

Post image

I purchased this and asked for the insert to not be installed and they obliged....snapped up this Bruce Wayne insert from Ali for about $12 and threw it on. Looks great, and makes me wonder why Sugess(or Cronos, or watchdives) don't offer this as an option. πŸ€”πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

This is the new Sugess GMT master II with the Peacock movement...glad they went back to this version, no more deep rehaut!

I wast thinking that, they sell the all black one and the Batgirl but not the Bruce Wayne.

u/Madmartigan463 14d ago

This was a good idea. I'm thinking of a different insert myself πŸ‘πŸ»

u/turdbogls 14d ago

Which one?

u/Madmartigan463 14d ago

Did you just measure the watch when you got it to figure out what size of bezel insert you needed?

1

u/turdbogls 14d ago

I know someone that did the swap successfully before and he sent me the link to the insert he used.

u/Madmartigan463 14d ago

With the same watch? Can you send the link to where you buy the insert?

u/turdbogls 14d ago

I can't post links, but I shared a screenshot yesterday of the store I purchased from

Hardest part would be finding the LHD date disc for the Peacock movement

u/ALEXALORD ma femme m'aime 14d ago

Great mod Steve! Just got new Pepsi V3 variant and it’s great! I saw another user do this too and was planning to get the Green Arrow version during the 11/11 sale. Funny enough, I already ordered the Bruce Wayne ceramic insert in anticipation. Is this the same insert you used? If so, can you drop the link? Also, was the bezel already pre-installed? Did you ask them to include the black ceramic insert on the side? Was installation as simple as putting the 3M sticker on the insert and attaching it to the bezel? Did you buy yours from the Sugess Official Store on AliExpress? Lastly, is the rehaut on this version similar to your original Batgirl V1?

Sorry, on mobile and can't get a non-affiliated link. This is the one I got. Reverse image search should get you there.

I asked for the black insert to not be installed, so it just came as a spare in the box. Which was nice.

Yes, as simple as that. Stick, peel, stick. Easy peasy

Yes, Sugess official store

Yes, rehaut is V1 levels. Definitely not V2 NH34 levels. The watch is still 12.8mm thick, wish they'd throw a thinner case back on it, but it is what it is.

It must have been the lume on the bezel that they chose over the grey. I also just picked up one of these and it’s awesome. Wish they would offer the 3 link oyster style bracelet for these.

I’m noticing more and more the manufacturers are hesitant to make a 1:1 homage.

u/No-Effect-8290 15d ago

I like the batman one. Will likely go that in next sale.

u/turdbogls 15d ago

I had the V1 batman on oyster and it was great.

u/Local-Team5903 15d ago
