I am going to resist to even ask where you are getting these from…. And I know K will tell me anyway

Contact him with confidence

@Hasselbaink has started a trend lol, you have now ordered one and @oceaon And I have also asked for one to be made

KJ was the first member I saw with this dial months ago and I knew then it needed to be in my collection. Hassy was kind enough to tell me where he got his.

JJ really does make some incredible dials... he also offers hands, bezels etc to complete our Frankin builds.

Received my CF V3 earlier today. Really happy with it. Initial thought is that crystal isn't all that bad. I had convinced myself that I needed to change it to a deep crystal but I might give it some time. Anyhow, I need to build up the courage first!

What strap and endlink you bought?
For the deep crystal, you wont regret it believe me, it is a must swap, clean crystal is too dark and dull, your dial will pop up after deep crystal
Mine both with deep installed

I bought Oyserflex strap from Intime (I think a number of TDs have the same strap), and the end links from here on: AliExpress

I agree on the crystal. In certain lights the stock (Clean) crystal gives the dial a dull, almost greenish hue. Whereas images of those that have been changed give the dial a fantastic depth and clarity. My only reservation is destroying the bezel on removal; as I've not done a crystal swap before. It does looks pretty straightforward / easy, based on the brilliant tutorial posted here, and I'd obviously buy a press plus bezel removal tool. It's just plucking up the courage to do it!

Why dont just send it to some watchmaker around, they do that with ease

No need to be afraid! I have just recently ordered some cheap equipment from AExpress to swap the ceramic bezel. As a matter of fact this almost certainly means that one has the crystal + gasket attached to the bezel when removing it. Rest assured: the operation was successful after all

WRT end links: I ordered mine together with the OF straps from Ctime. Not sure whether they come from Clean or some place else...

How is the oysterflex? Is it nice and rubber feeling? The last one i had was on an arf yachtmaster but it felt very cheap and plastic not rubber. How much did you pay too? Thanks

I personally love it. It's soft and flexible, and certainly doesn't feel plasticly. The 'fins' on the underside are really soft which makes it extremely comfortable. Another thing I like about it is that it makes the watch feel / wear bigger; because strap maintains a rounded profile.

I bought mine from InTime (link here) but I think most TDs sell them - around $90-100 mark.
