It’s been discussed that the case of CF Pepsi is a submariner case. If a person wants to replace the stock CF crystal with a prof crystal, does it matter if a GMT master crystal or submariner crystal is ordered from prof?

I’ve got one in my hands and disagree it’s a sub case! But that aside yes the crystal is a standard 25-295CAR so will take a prof crystal.

You want the version he does with just the cyclops ar and not over the whole crystal. I believe he calls it x2 AR. I’ve never had one as I always go gen on the crystal and have just picked one up used but good condition to fit on mine!

I can do one once I receive my order from Li if no one will have done it by then. But from what I can see, CF insert red is closer to reality than the brownish noob I have
Let’s hope so. From what I’ve seen, QC pics and everything, it looks like the same shade of red. Maybe that depends on the batch of noobs. Anyways, can’t wait for your pic mate :thumbsup:

Why friend? The Clean insert is not only as good or better but far more consistent than the Noob was

I want to see if there is any tangible difference in the shade of red between the two

Cf insert is way better in all ways. I can’t do a side by side but I’ve had both. Cf has better colour rendition and infinitely better number coating as we all know from other recent cf inserts!

Er... the picture in question is slanted... the watch is on an angle. I'm pretty sure that's as good as you will get. It's just not a straight on shot.

If you get rid of the reflection below the dial window you can better determine how the datewheel really sits in the date window.
It sits high, and should appear slightly low at this viewing angle. See the post linked below for an explanation of what viewing angle does to the apparent position of a datewheel within a date window.
Are my eyes deceiving me?
That post also explains why the datewheel appears slightly left justified when if viewed straight on it would not.
That datewheel also has at least one unlevel date, the 6 is elevated from the 2. The datewheels on these new VR3186s do not appears as good as the VR3185 datewheels were, although lately even those aren't like the earlier ones.

Appreciate the assistance. I gave it a green light!
