Just finished the bezel lip mod on mine. Not sure if this is good or can use a little more lip?

Where are you folks sourcing your gen crystals and gaskets? Seems impossible (for me at least) to know if what you are getting is legit since no AD will deal out parts. Rolex also seems to be super strict about how they give parts out to certified service people.
Correct but unfortunately it's not a right science on these Clean watches.
I have two Clean GMT's, both new batch with DD3285.
One of them fits a gen crystal and the lowest gasket that my watchmaker could fit was 2,8mm.
He tried to remove and to set hands better but 2,7mm gasket was always against second hand pinion.
So it has now the gen crystal(right one for GMT) but it's a bit higher than gen because of the 2,8mm gasket.
On the other one(Pepsi that i posted it some days ago) he used a nice stock clean crystal with 2,7mm gasket and as you can see it fits very good (gen like crystal height and correct magnification).
It's weird as it's not common to get that result with that combo but that's it.
The conclusion in my opinion is that there is not a right way to handle crystals on Clean Gmt's as they are not all gen spec measures, the opposite.
You need to be sure your gen crystal is for gmt and not subs because subs crystals are 2.0mm.
Make sure you are using b25-7035 series crystals and not the b25-295 series crystals.
They fit different
Yep it's.
It was blisered.
New model with colorless AR despite it exists also with blue AR.
Both mine fit well with 2.7mm gaskets and I choose the brown AR (so called colorless) from our modder here interactiv.
Just finished my mini mods on my CF V3. The lowest gasket I was able to go was 2.6ish. I shaved down a 2.7 as far as I can go without touching the seconds hand. For the record , I am using a Gen Crystal for subs 295. [url=https://postimg.cc/ygbd0F2S]

[/URL]its a good compromise. And i think the date mag will not be that far offJust finished my mini mods on my CF V3. The lowest gasket I was able to go was 2.6ish.

Thanks @Reaps for sharing those pics. Looks like a decent first attempt but I agree, defo looks like a VSF case looking at those CGs. It'll be really interesting to see how / if VSF will improve on this factory (dial print, movement maybe), or whether they can get the new grey dial version out.
am I wrong or is not the most obvious tell the tomato color red bezel and not the more cherry gen? Shouldn't that be the #1 mod?
If no one makes one that is the right color does a gen one fit the CF?

Actually let me rephrase my question. Does the new bezel fit the first gen CF pepsi? Can I buy from a dealer and install it?
Yes new bezel fits your v1. Your v1 has incorrect bezel color but v3 is near perfect.
