Anyone ever try a click spring from topwatchparts.com (out of China)? See click spring here: https://www.topwatchparts.com/produ...-automatic-watch?_pos=29&_sid=b99e33df3&_ss=r

Perhaps...that's why asked if any has tried it. I don't think a gen click spring is necessarily the only way to improve the CF bezel action. My ARF batman had really nice bezel action OOTB. If the topwatchparts click spring is close to ARF quality, perhaps that would improve matters for the CF bezel.
Dear all, this is my bezel action, what do you think of the movement and the click?

10x better than mine! Can't really see if there is much play in the movement, but the click sounds nice. Is that a new CF(v2)?
There isn't much play. This is the CF click spring, it has just been cleaned of excess grease and repositioned.
So it means CF has looked into the bezel mechanism and improved it in their latest batch then
I don't think mine is the last batch, because it's has a correct lip, while a short minute hand. So a mix between V1 and V2. Maybe I was just lucky with the click spring and retaining ring.
CF vs MK 3. Does well in indoor lighting. Colour differences become more apparent under outdoor natural lighting.

I fully agree, exposed to light the CF insert is very distant from the gen, the red tends to orange and the blue is discharged losing the purplish.
I would more say it's still very good but it have some slight deviation i colors compared to gen. Chances that you meet someone with a gen Pepsi irl are also veeery small.
Yes, it certainly doesn't happen every day to meet someone with a pepsi gen on their wrist
So beautiful with a little color adjustment.

Tried to ask in the Batman thread but no takers.
anyone know what the part number for a gen DW that will fit a VR3186 / CF Pepsi or Batman?
also, any good bracelet screws? Stripped some of mine like a noob.

Gen DW part number is 3135-16200. Pay attention to fonts, there are some different fonts on older ones that have the same part number.
You can get aftermarket bracelet screws from many sources - Ebay, Ali Express, Esslinger, etc.. There are quite a few different sizes so you need to know length, diameter and thread diameter of the one(s) you need. They can be bought individually or in an assortment kit.
