KJ2020 I absolutely love the all the color changes of the Gen insert and am so tempted to try and get a CF myself just to see with my own eyes why some are so disappointed with their release. Is there a Member here that does have both the Gen and CF version in their stable? It sure would help if a photo shoot was done with both at sunrise midday and evening in different sunlight positions to see all the changes in both as well as all the normal tell tells with lugs, crown guards date wheel and dial.

MFK100 has both bro, and has posted some side to side pics. He's had a Noob, VRF, ROF, and CF Pepsi and said the CF insert is closest to gen. I'm so glad he didn't like the ROF or he wouldn't have sold it to me, haha.

Has anybody measured the powerreserve of the movement in the CF? What ist your opinion on the movement and calibrating the hands and date?
TY!

what do you mean by "calibrating the hands and date" there is nothing to calibrate, you may want to replace them with genuine but i don't think is worth the extra $$$, my PR after 20 winds and around 4 hours on hand was 42 hours

ok, thanks.
with calibrating i to simply mean setting the watch...time, date, gmt. on mine it is quite difficult to find the right position on the crown. so at least there you realize that its not gen.

If anyone decides to do the lip mod and remove the insert I’d be interested to know the thickness or the insert edge or the insert retaining depth of the Cf bezel. It seems my CF is still waiting to be shipped for nearly a week now apparently because of COVID. I’d love to machine a new bezel while I wait but need a depth to calculate machining the lip

Order through jtime? I’m being told there is covid delays in China but seems others are receiving pretty quickly. Mine hasn’t even been picked up by courier since last Thursday.

but now we come to the one that, assuming that I am not the wrong method, is the only problem with the pepsi received: it does not change the date. when I go to turn the crown and change the date (at the second click of the crown) it does not change the date but, on the contrary, it jerks the hour hand. what should I do?

:picard:

It’s rumored Clean got raided. I luckily have an Oyster Pepsi on the way

It would be a tragedy if the master of ceramic inserts does not recover.
