Some TD say CF is also closed? Which Batman is now the best and on VSF quality?

Did they say closed for good because of the raids or closed temporarily because of Chinese national festivities? These are 2 very different things. I haven't seen anything about CF being definitely closed, but China is going through mid autumn festival and upcoming Golden week so that probably affects all factories

CF has not closed for raids, it seems that, at the moment, clean is immune to raids or at least lucky.
it is true that many factories close a couple of seddimane dislocated for the Chinese holidays. but apparently according to Li, CF is also active during the holidays.

this does not mean, however, that CF itself is in great difficulty due to the many requests for pepsi, but above all batman, and the few stocks. in fact, they have fallen behind on batmans quite a bit.

There's a difference between closed for a couple of weeks and closed forever. If they're just closed for a few weeks - and I haven't seen any proof of anything else - then OP should just wait if

Sead and Ryan tell me that Noob never open again, VSF maybe but they ar not sure.

So we will never see again the beautiful Daytona with 4130

With the demand for a working 4130 I strongly believe another factory will make the a4130 again. And it’s true that these raids have messed everything up…. This too shall pass. Even a rep from a lesser factory is still pretty dam good compared to 5 years ago

The factory which produced VS and 4130 movements (Dangdong) has ended contracts in june 2021 with noob/vsf. (I read this somewhere). The problem is, dangsong has a new CEO which is not kn mood tonproduce clone movements (raid stuff...).

so maybe we just will see VR movements and hybrids

ARF is flat, but without chronograph function. VRF & some other small suppliers use the Chinese 7750. The overall height is then just under 14mm - just under 15 mm. The original Daytona - and also the Noob with 4130 have a height of 12.4 mm. That is a noticeable difference.

I chatted with Li and he shared that CF is no longer manufacturing batman/batgirl because of the speedbumps on the insert.

The factory is however doing well otherwise and that does not impact other products
So they're not closed

Cf no longer produce the old 116710 models, they only produce the new 126710 now.

You misunderstood, they are no longer manufacturing neither batman (116710) nor batgirls (126710) because the inserts, which are the same for both, have speedbumps
