How was the bezel action on the last batch?

I reckon it feels better than about 5 month ago but dont quote me, i might not have remembered exactly how it felt like.

But it definitely feels better than both the older pepsis from Clean, and a piece that i have just received last week (Improved bezel action from my older CF Pepsi)

Is the bezel mechanism still soaked with silicone grease?

These are the latest batch of batgirls from clean.

The bezel insert has had a silent update and they are Cleaner than usual (pun intended, without sarcasm)

The speed bumps seem to nonexistent anymore.

Does the ‘6’ and the ‘18’ have a rougher engravings than the other numbers to hide the transition bump? I noticed that clean tried this previously. Looked good from far but far from good. Hopefully they’ve come up with a good insert now

I didn't see it clearly the last time I had the latest batch.

Anyway I should have 1 piece coming to me either next or the following week for an xtal swap, I'll try to remember to take some pictures and post it here before it goes off to a friend.

Can anyone confirm this is the correct gen bezel spring? 316-116710-C5? Just concerned it's technically a 116710 vs. 126710. Searching this thread there is some discussion asking the same question but there was no difinative answer.

Have you upgraded the xtal on yours or has CF factory upgraded it.

Is that a gen crystal? Looks good.
Have they updated the lume material on the dial or is it still different to the hands? (Greyish pink hue)?

Sorry if i missed out the thread, they are not gen crystal. its called Deep crystal in the chinese market.

I've received my watches

Jubilee is an older batch with deep crystal mod

Oyster is the latest batch with deep crystal mod

You guys reckon any changes on the insert?

Just received my CF batman and I'm pretty happy about it. Looks great, no speedbump, nice insert and even the bezel action is good (inside may be full of grease I don't know but the feeling is ok).

One thing though that I'm disappointed is the SELs, but may be I should not and need you guys' advice. I got it on an oyster and the SELs are almost flushed. Are they supposed to be recessed on the gen 126710 or not really? Initially I thought they did but then I remembered that SEL recession on 126610 is much less than on 116610, so was wondering whether Rolex made the same change on 126710 Vs 116710.

This is meant to be a franken so I'm gonna be more picky than usual with this.

Thanks

Not 126610, they are less recessed than 116610. So did you mean 126710 are similar to 116710?

And by a little do you mean less than 116610?

Trying to be accurate ;)

Thanks bro!
