He told me he has seen & tested that already but just too busy to post detail report here. He wanna do it in a side by side comparison so he needs time to do it after rushing all his jobs before the Chinese New Year. Just give him some time and I believe he won't ship out anything without final investigation on the products, further confirmation and payment from buyers, lol.....

fair enough, we shall wait and see

What does good enough mean? Are they better than LH as said in your first post?

Good :
1. Lever is tight enough , just like Toro , but not that tight , no need to glue or add oring .
2. The inside is better finish than LH & Toro .
3. Fit the case better in the edge to me .
4. Thiner than LH , but not enough .

Bad :
1. The lever to push the crown is too thin , should be a little fater .
2. Not thin enough as I said .

The supplier told me the price for the members is $99 including world wild registered airmail , and $90 each if order 3+ once .

Let me know how do you guys feel !

Hmmm the lever needs to be a little more flush to the rest of the CG. Let's see what the guys over at WC have to say

Really? From the picture the other twos looks like got the same problem?

I just take a look on 5-6 pcs of my gens but seems like the finishing on the CG & its lever are the same and nothing more flush....

Then I'm afraid your gens are reps lol. Gen levers are PERFECTLY flush with the case. Neither are they sticking or going on

+1 on that, only flaw I saw. CG looks great but not to thread crap my WSO looks as nice as well. I was waiting a 1:1 Pre-V CG, maybe my hopes were too high.

Hmmm... WSO is cheaper too.

NL will need some modding, but they all do, right?

I check some other CGs , most of them are good .
The pin can be pushed easily .
And I took another one for you to check , the lever is much better .
Check yourself .

Looks much better Goin. Will you do this for us before sending it out? :)

Or am I asking too much??? Hahhaha... it really saves a lot comparing with LH!

WSO is cheaper but seems like way worse than this new one, Goin bought the WSO for my friend before but it required lots of terrible modding, then the cost of workmanship pumps up the total cost.

I see. Yes, the cash is king at the end.

I think they look pretty good. Obviously if the CG pin can be pushed in and goin is gonna do this for us than its basically a non issue. I believe the main issue is what goin has pointed out, the lever isnt quite thick enough. However I think its better than toro thats for sure, Im not sure its better than LH due to that lever issue however LH will charge around 200 USD for his delivered, these are half the price and I think thats pretty bloody good.

Totally agree. For the lever, what he meant is not the whole lever but just the part used to push the crown isn't that fat enough. So I think it is acceptable with this price since that part is hard to be noticed on a completed watch.

In that case even better, yeah just looked again! Im not bothered about the bit that actually pushes the crown in, like you said if the lever is closed this wont be noticable anyway. Also its sometimes easy to forget we are looking at magnified pics of what really would be quite hard to spot with normal vision. I think its great, well done goin :)
