My sticker of clean 116613LB is colored. I think they have raided although the paint industry.

I have bought many watches from Li and I would really be surprised if he would sell me a fake CF.
As far as I can tell from comparing the Korean pics with mine, my watch is a CF and no fake CF.

But please correct me if I am wrong.

Anyway I attached a few other shots as well maybe the new sticker means a new version. I could not find any updates but maybe you guys see something.

I received my QC for the LB.

One thing I drectly noticed was the sticker on the back. Not that I really care about it but it just seemed weird. It's not coloured but B/W.

I remember someone posting about something like this and saying that these stickers could become collectable.
Does anyone else from recent QC had a sticker like this:

Yes I ordered 2 when they came out both had different stickers one like yours.

That someone was me also.

Bro I think you have got the v1 of clean factory with the wrong cgs.
It’s defintly a cf but I think one of the first batches.
Mine one is the newest version with correct cgs.

could be ... whats the difference between V1 CG and V2 CG?

I have to say that I read most of the pages but not 100% focused cuz I am getting this watch for a friend.
Are there comparison shots from V2 and V1 that I might have missed?

The V1 might not be bad but I specifically ordered the updated version. Why should I settle for an inferior product?

I bought many watches from Li I am sure he will exchange it once I tell him about it.

You can do it for sure. It was just a info that nobody will see it in real life on your wrist.

I did a small comparison between V1 and V2.

V2 has definitely slanted CGs. One can notice it due to the reflection. The second way to notice it is, that the CG is more wider on the downside (green) than on the upside (red) at the V2.

I only marked it on the right side because on the left one can see it better / naturally --> no lines needed.

I think that it is a flaw which will be much more obvious in real life because its hard to see the full impact from the wrong CG on photos. The whole shape/crossing from the sides of the watch to the CG is different if they are not slanted.

Seems that the newest batch has the old CGs again.

Here is the answer I got from my TD:

We just confirmed with the factory, the watches we sent you were all from the newest version from the current batch.
There is only one version available at the moment.
It doesn't matter how many times we replace the watch, it will always come with the same case.
