Guys do you think a Deep crystal is worth it? Because Clean seems to have improved their own crystal in the V3/V3S versions. I mean the deep one is still more transparent/clear but is it maybe "too clear" compared to gen with its double sided AR coating?
The gen xtal will make all the difference.

Well yeah I m sure about that, I am asking more about anyones opinion if they would still upgrade to a deep crystal or stay with the stock cf crystal since they have seemingly improved in quality.

On my v2, I bought a v3 Insert and Gen Xtal. I will also do a rebrush and service. Is this worth? I don’t know, the watch is almost perfect stock, but I like details 😅

Does anyone know if any TD's will sell the CF V3 Pepsi Bezel seperate? Have a Xing installed currently but the 18 different colorization due to how it was milled in certain light still bugs me.

I've swapped in gen xtal/dw and don't want to have to rebuild from a new base if I can just swap the bezel insert.

That is not a problem. Ask Ctime for the inlay, he will send it to you individually.

I got quoted $218 + 30$ shipping for the V3 Bezel insert by itself. TD's are officially smoking crack these days.

Unfortunately this is what I paid 🤦🏻‍♂️

I think you lose less money if you sell sourd and buy directly a v3. On mine, I was so happy on the rehaut, and movement reliability that I didn’t want to sell and take risks the v3 is not so good so I lost some money but bought only the insert.

Agree that price is crazy…. A f**** insert costs you 1/3 of the entire watch

If you get V3 CF, xtal upgrade IMO isnt worth it unless you go gen.

What’s this v3s?? 😅
Different bezel color? Lighter than v3?
Thanks for clarification
