How is this done? It really gives the watch an gen look somehow

I don't see any difference with my stock bezel (1 week before cny). My cf pepsi from 12/23 is without bezel lip.
Maybe silent update from Clean or I am blind (could also be possible 😅) @CTime

Can you please post a picture of the side of your watch? I would like to see how much the crystal is above the bezel. Thank you very much 🙏
This is with a 2.85mm gasket. I am not concerned with the 0.15mm difference in crystal height. I was not willing to mess with pushing the second hand down being a home based tinkerer.

hi guys, this is my clean blro that just arrived. the photo, taken with the phone, is with natural internal light. The red is very similar to bordeaux, the blue is very dark. In external light it changes completely: the red is very bright and the blue approaches purple. Do you think the bezel is V2 or V3? Thank you

Have CF updated the Bezel Lip now because it looks similar to Gen now, like bezel Lip mod?

It does indeed look like the last V3 shown here have the correct - or almost correct - lip as standard. In any case, it looks wider than on all predecessors.

this is the gen production 2023. Do you think the bezel is V2 or V3? mine is much darker blue.

If you can't tell and you have to ask others what's the point? Even Rolex can't get the manufacturing of their bezel right. If you want gen, buy gen. Clean v3 is already 90% of the way there and impossible to tell on wrist. Bezel color changes due to room lighting and other conditions

You are right. however, the clean is really done very well. I've had it on my wrist for a week and it hasn't slipped for a second! ;)

Slightly off topic but I know a few posts in this thread are of Franken Clean DD3285 GMT Pepsi's. I really want to fit a gen crystal and gen date wheel to my Clean V1 (with V3 insert) DD3285. What are the part numbers I am looking for for the crystal and date wheel? Also what size gasket?
