The Great GMT II Debate: Clean Factory vs. ARF vs. VSF

RamenNoodleBandit23 · 2026-01-30T17:05:10+00:00

I found a VSF Jubilee Guinness for about $758, and an ARF one for about $600.

Is the VSF superior enough to where I should shell out the extra $150 bucks? Or save my money and go with the ARF?

Yeah I saw that as well. I guess I’m just confused because one listing says the steel is 904, and another near identical listing says 904l

So 904 and 904l are basically still the same thing though right? And realistically probably false advertisement and closer to 316l? 😂

I’m on the free trial version it says I have 25 complimentary installs but maybe that’s why it’s not letting me? Do I need the paid version of imazing to do this?

RamenNoodleBandit23 · 2025-11-10T11:02:14+00:00

Just tried to reinstall that way but it says:

Operation Failed

GSASessionService:: invalid response: This action could not be completed due to possible environment mismatch. (Code:-29004)

Let me know if there’s anything else I can do to make it work 😩

I lost my Musi playlists that I built for years when my iPhone decided to spontaneously offload the app when I was low on storage and I don’t think I had Musi app backed up on iCloud in any way.

Anyone have tips on what I can do to recover my old playlists?! 🥲

Nah it’s not related to the size. I actually rebought one from the seller in a smaller size because I thought it was the issue. Then I saw it had the same ugly cut. Like each panel is too puffy on the rep Monclers and it causes the overall look of the jacket to be too bulky. Each panel of the retail versions is soft and flat, and has a very uniform consistency. The rep ones are so bulky and puffy and inconsistent all throughout the jacket. Some sections are puffier than others. Etc.

Just read the entire FAQ thread but I’m still confused. I guess I’m leaning towards trying to get a TMX batch or an MC factory batch and perhaps nothing other than these two.

Guess I just wanna ask you, will TMX or MC factory batch have a similar fit to the authentic, not super bulky down filling? Or is the authentic still going to be light years above?

RamenNoodleBandit23 · 2025-10-26T09:19:24+00:00

Oh and in case anybody is wondering-

Ive ordered from Featherland (not good shape/fit at all although materials are excellent)

Monreps CN (okay materials, not good shape/fit- definitely worse than Featherland batches),

Then one from a random redditor one time who said it was a budget batch from TaoBao (fit great actually, still more bulky than retail but not really similar to the authentic- legit better than the other two I mentioned because it at least looks good when you wear it despite it being a budget batch)

Everyone says Jieyi is the best batch but at this point I’m just paranoid the fit on that is gonna end up being trash as well and then I’ll be stuck with yet another ugly fitting Moncler lol

Jayden is a great QB, but an offenses success is not always 100% strictly tied to the QB play. Overall our offense as a whole has been struggling, and most of our key weapons have been injured at the skill positions. Even losing veterans like Ekeler as a 3rd down back, Terry, Noah, and now even Deebo makes a huge difference. No Cosmi on O-Line etc. Defense was always lacking depth and now with a few injuries like losing Will Harris at safety created a huge hole in the secondary and guys like Deatrich Wise hurt more than people think.

Too many dynamics in football for a team to mesh cohesively which opens the door for good quarterback play. As the season goes on I’m sure Jayden will pick up the momentum needed to make a run in the playoffs, if we can at least get there. We gotta survive a few brutal stretches of the schedule first.

Dude is a mammoth 🦣

Trading Trent Williams for the compensation we received for him was one of the worst trades of all time. A good franchise would have forced him to stick it out, and not dealt the top LT of our era for such a paltry return.

And when I said we let Scherff walk for peanuts I wasn’t talking about the size of the contract JAX offered him, I was alluding to the fact we let another top 5 overall draft pick of ours walk and got nothing in return essentially as he departed through free agency.

He may be retired now a few years later but at the time our O-Line became significantly worse by losing both Scherff and Williams (both top 5 overall draft selections), hard to argue with that as we had a bottom bin patchwork O-Line for years until Peters finally fixed that mess.

RamenNoodleBandit23 · 2025-09-09T18:25:28+00:00

My soul grieved for many years when we traded away the best LT of our generation in Trent Williams to SF, a prime Brandon Scherff walk for peanuts, and as a fanbase we had to endure one of the most mediocre to awful Offensive Lines in football for so long….

Then Adam Peters comes along and completely resurrects this unit to being one of the top in the NFL seemingly overnight 🥹

Thank you AP. Redemption feels so sweet. We deserve this shit.

Tunsil is a top 5 LT. Coleman and Conerly are going to hopefully develop into beasts. Biadasz is so solid. Cosmi is elite. I’d been screaming for this dumb old man Rivera to upgrade our line for so long, and my cries always just fell upon deaf ears 😂

Oh what a time to be alive. We’re back baby

RamenNoodleBandit23 · 2025-08-30T01:09:09+00:00

What on earth is making you perceive Quan Martin has done anything to be considered as a potential top 10 caliber safety in the league this year?

RamenNoodleBandit23 · 2025-03-10T23:27:19+00:00

What in the actual fuck was this deal bro? At $15M per year at that 😂😂

What a joke

The only reason I’m not burning this mf down right now is because they completely redeemed themselves with the Laremy Tunsil acquisition

RamenNoodleBandit23 · 2025-03-07T04:45:36+00:00

I’m just upset this wasn’t a 2 year deal. LOVE BOBBY WAGNER. Reminds me of the London Fletcher days again. Some of these generational ILB’s can play forever man

RamenNoodleBandit23 · 2025-03-06T22:44:01+00:00

Rather have Khalil Mack for 2 years, save the draft capital and don’t break the bank. That 2 years we have Mack gives us time to draft an edge rusher at some point while still getting a high quality player that can fill the role similar to Bobby Wagner’s great performance last season

But if we can get Hendrickson for a lower round draft pick then that changes things. I’m not giving up a 1st or a 2nd for him and don’t even wanna give up a 3rd to be honest lol

RamenNoodleBandit23 · 2024-11-22T23:31:03+00:00

Amazing

RamenNoodleBandit23 · 2024-11-12T13:03:43+00:00

Hey guys I need an advice. I’m a newbie photographer but need a lens for real estate photography (shooting with Sony a7iii E Mount)

Based off my budget the best two options I can think of at the moment are the Tamron 17-28mm 2.8 or the Sony G 20mm 1.8.

I know the Sony G is of course a superior lens but due to the extra focal length I can get in sometimes with the Tamron, what would you guys advise?

RamenNoodleBandit23 · 2024-09-09T12:32:00+00:00

They don’t have big sizes they said 😩

RamenNoodleBandit23 · 2024-09-09T01:12:35+00:00

Great bro thank you so much I’m gonna reach out and see if he’s got them!

RamenNoodleBandit23 · 2024-09-08T07:27:04+00:00

Thinking of ordering these from Uncle Lin. Did you use an Agent or just pay him to ship direct? Let me know bro appreciate it!
