Detailed review
My three-Jubilee dial inspection
In this review, I move between a Pepsi, a blue-and-black Batgirl and a grey-and-black Bruce Wayne to inspect the dial around each hand stack. The addition is a three-configuration visual record: the same area examined in sequence, with changing reflections and different hand positions. It does not establish a shared dial manufacturing process or an exclusive factory signature.
If you are trying to photograph this detail on your GMT, message me through the WhatsApp button on this page. I can help you compare the visible contour without confusing a reflection with a measured defect.
Follow the watch in the frame
All three watches have black dials and Jubilee-style five-piece bracelets. Their visible configurations correspond to the 126710BLRO Pepsi, 126710BLNR Batgirl and 126710GRNR Bruce Wayne designs. I introduce VS Factory, or VSF, and Dandong 3285, commonly written DD3285. Those are my spoken identifications; this recording contains no opened movement, checked reference engraving or verified factory version.
The original English subtitle calls the last watch “Sprite” at 2:00–2:13. The actual close-up shows a grey-and-black bezel, green GMT hand, right-side crown and date at three o'clock. I therefore identify the filmed configuration as GRNR/Bruce Wayne here. I retain the original recording and transcript, while making this mismatch explicit rather than assigning its dial evidence to a Sprite.
What I show around the hand stack
- Pepsi, 1:15–1:51: I tilt the watch and point around the central hand mounting area. The close-up at 1:26 records the shallow, recessed-looking contour I am discussing. The longer sequence shows how the reflection changes.
- Batgirl, 1:51–2:00: I bring the blue-and-black watch forward and indicate the same central area. At 1:59 the pointer and hands partly obscure it; this is a supporting view, not a clean surface measurement.
- Bruce Wayne, 2:00–2:13: I repeat the inspection on the grey-and-black watch. The 2:05 frame records the actual configuration and the dial centre, despite the incorrect subtitle label.
I use “dial dimple” to describe the appearance around the hand stack. These views are through the crystal. I do not remove a dial, measure the contour's depth or demonstrate its manufacturing cause. Different hand positions and viewing angles also prevent a reliable ranking of which sample has the deepest or most prominent recess.
Where my spoken comparison needs a boundary
I make strong claims in the commentary about matching the genuine watch and about VS being uniquely able to produce this effect. I also name other factories. None of those competing samples or an authenticated genuine comparator is inspected here. My factory comparison is professional assessment, not a controlled result, and this footage cannot establish exclusivity or identical construction.
A community dial-dimple discussion asks whether the appearance is normal or a defect and offers owner anecdotes. That question is relevant; the replies do not diagnose my samples or establish a dimensional tolerance.
How this recording fits my existing checks
My single-sample Batman dial inspection and Bruce Wayne dial-and-clasp inspection cover the individual configurations in more detail. This episode adds sequential views across three Jubilee-equipped watches, rather than a new factory generation. I have not established whether they are the same physical watches used in earlier recordings.
For the separate weighing and caliper work, see my three-Jubilee GMT measurement comparison. No weight, depth, accuracy or function measurement occurs in this dial episode.

Strengths
Sequential Pepsi, BLNR and GRNR dial close-ups; actual configuration distinguished from conflicting subtitle label.
What to watch for
No dial-depth measurement, removal, authenticated comparator, factory-exclusive tooling proof, open movement or functional test.

Questions answered
Can this appearance prove VSF origin or a damaged dial?
Neither conclusion follows from these views alone. Ask for an unobstructed straight-on photograph and a slow tilted clip under steady light. Keep the hand-stack area visible, and separate appearance from any independently demonstrated functional problem.
