Nice, but your hour hand looks about 7 minutes slower than the minute hand. May need to reposition them.

I think it's OK bro. The tilt of the watch and the shadow on the bottom of the hands do make the hour hand appear to be pointing lower than it is.
Hello,
I'd like to share my experience with Johnny Depp, about a GMT II Pepsi "Clean Factory" bought few days ago at M2M.
Firstly, thanks to bear with me!
I overwhelmed him with often silly questions, but he has always answered me with kindness and in an exhaustive way!
Thank you very much!
Concerning to the watch, I bought it with some films. It was litterally never used.
Looking at its hands, their length look correct, so I believe it is the latest batch available.
However, I wanted to gift it, so I asked to him to solve some small defects and to prevent new ones:
Indeed, I was a bit concerned when I compared this Clean to my VSF 116610LN.
Here some of the photos he sent me during the processing phases, ended in a few days!

However, I wanted to gift it, so I asked to him to solve some small defects and to prevent new ones:
- Full service
- Waterproof
- "Lip mod" (although I think this Clean belongs to the last batch, the lip on the bezel was still missing)
- Make the bezel less soft when rotating (pics show how much grease there was)
- Reposition the insert, slightly off-center

After spending this morning reading old posts trying to understand exactly what a "lip" is I'm still no wiser. All I found was guys trash talking each other in 400 posts ABOUT the lip. Also I found tutorials ABOUT lip-mods but not a simple lip-pic explained.
Aren't there a simple comparison pic with CF and gen where an arrow shows what the lip looks like? I'm on the way of ordering one and better to ask now so I can judge my QC for myself.

order yours, enjoy it like it is because it is a beautiful watch…..don t bother about what you have read here…..all right things…but invisibles, useless, and “ just for talking”.
Before someone call out someone else by the lip or hand lenght………

There are pics, it’s well covered many pages back.. you just need to look harder. Or, just look at gen Pepsi and a gen Batman, the Pepsi has a fatter outermost edge on the bezel.
The "lip" is the flat/polished metal part touching the ceramic bezel insert. See gen BLRO and BLNR bezels for comparison. CF has improved this in the latest updates, so nothing to worry about IMHO.

Both the batman and pepsi have a lip, but the lip on the pepsi is ~2-3x fatter. The pics above comparing the batman bezel to pepsi bezel show this difference very nicely. The "lip mod" simply takes the thin lip on the v1 pepsi and turns it into a slightly fatter lip via some delicate sanding and polishing.

Thank you
just wanted to know if CF uses the updated bezel (right time for the BLRO) on the Batman too, in that case the Batman would have the wrong bezel

Having both watches in my possession as I speak, I can confirm, this detail is sorted by CF
