Gen is left? I can definitely see the color difference. Thank you for posting this, I can’t wait for CF to fix the nuance, it is such a nice watch but the off colors are a dead giveaway IMO

That’s incredible! The red looks like a true red instead of the more muted tones of most CF inserts.

Sadly, my understanding is that both factories use CF bezel so the color is still off. Other details may be better on C+

A user over on Reddit based in China has manufactured new Pepsi ceramic bezels, I just purchased one and it shipped today. Should have it soon and I can do a comparison with CF insert side-by-side in different lighthings.

Excited to see if there actually is progress being made in rep Pepsi inserts. I’ve never seen a Gen Pepsi insert in person so will need Gen Pepsi owners to see how close they got when I get a chance to post pictures in few weeks.

Unconfirmed but these are claims made for the Reddit Insert, we can see how much is accurate:
  • Creator has Gen MK1 insert and provided it to factory
  • Claimed to be working with “best ceramic makers in China”, multiple versions were produced to get as close to MK1 as possible
  • No speed bumps
  • Has been tested to fit CF Pepsi
  • Under UV light entire insert is red like Gen
  • Claim made by creator “if CF is 75% close to Gen, we may be 90-92% closer to Gen”
