Maybe in a few weeks / months, prices will regulate and approach 100$ as the other bezel, i hope so. Don’t want to spend an other 600$ just for a bezel since I have a V1

Thanks for the info about the DD, did not know it was outsourced !

But bad quality and with wrong colors

And Rolex themselves are rumored to only have a 1/8 success rate with the BLRO insert :confused:
I dont know that. In the end CTime is a dealer and makes profit, we cash not only for the item but also for his service providing us spare parts directly from factory. One of the best (if not the best...) TD here @CTime

sorry who are?
Seems like they also upgraded the rehaut on the new version ! They even changed their serial number CF signature
correct. latest BLNRs also have upgraded rehaut and new SN.

Not the alignment, at least not on that picture. They have it near perfect then screw up little details upon assembly which is a shame.
Given the amount of gen that also have a misaligned rehaut, and that it’s a fixable problem (unlike the rehaut engraving and polish), I wouldn’t be too bitter about that

Not bitter, just unfortunate they screw up such an easily avoided aspect. ZF is way worse in this regard from my humble opinion and experience.

@CTime Sorry if this question is unwarranted but roughly a week ago I saw reports of C+ Factory updating their bezel insert to improve colour accuracy as well as the insert's response to UV light.

Is the new Clean insert different from the new C+ insert? They seem very similar and have come out at roughly the same time, so I am curious about the relationship there. If any at all.

Needless to say the colours are getting incredibly close. I'm not sure BLRO enthusiasts could ask for much more at this point. Out of the box excellence.

alignment is almost perfect mate, they nailed the new engravings.. its just the angle
