Received mine yesterday DOA.

The watch itself is beautiful and well built. The insert is close to the noob one however, under direct sunlight you notice the difference between the two.

Noob's crystal is better and it needs to be changed on the CF I got.

Overall, if it was functioning I would have been over the moon.

Here are some pictures (noob without bracelet).

The movement on the CF is particularly dirty:

Was looking at my old GMF, it turns out they got the thicker rim on the bezel right.

I wonder if it will hold the CF insert, or if I decide to get this one, Maybe I can migrate the bezel across. KJ2020

Thought I'd mention it for those who still have their 2018 GMF.

A lot of insert comparisons in color, finish, etc. but seeing the Noob insert side by side with the CF, the CF clearly takes the title. The depth, shape and color of the engraved numbers are, for me, identical to the gen (they are also thicker than Noob´s). In my opinion, no factory got that right in previous versions. That alone made me buy it.

so you got the new CF but the movement is not working?

Hi, yes precisely (DOA = dead on arrival).

The finition of the movement is awful and it is really dirty!

Anyway, as I'm going to Franken it, I'll figure out something with my TD and slap a new movement in it ;-)

did anyone who received opened and check their movements yet? looks like this cf watch may be a total garbage if the movements are bad on top of all the the other problems

One DOA out of so many is not so bad.. that's about the expected fail rate. Time will tell though if there are more DOA's.

The movement feel is a highlight so far on mine.. might open it up later to take a look

Is this really a VR? Doesn't seem to stand to the same good quality that we have known for a VR movement.
