That’s what I did resp. planning to do. However, this time ordering a spare (CF V3 black) dial takes a bit longer than usually expected. I know ordering spare parts always takes longer than just ordering a watch.

I ordered from Li at JTime more than five weeks ago -> No QC yet.

I also ordered through Geektime more than two weeks ago (as a kind of a „back-up“ and test order) -> No QC yet.

No biggie, I can wait. But just as a heads up that ordering a spare CF V3 dial can take a bit longer these days.
I always ordered from Li. And this time i tried erik. He gave me a big surprise. I got QC photos after one day :))))

Confused by your comment. Last Thursday you shared your approved QC pics of the whole watch from Eric. So you ordered a whole CF V3 watch and a spare dial and both came after one day?

My comment was ONLY about ordering a spare CF V3 dial at current times. That you receive QC pics for a whole watch much faster is clear and no surprise.

Apologies if I've missed in the previous pages, but I couldn't see discussed, how does the rehaut compare between the Clean and BTF.

I had a noob v4 and both look a big improvement on that but curious to see which is better as misaligned/poor rehaut engravings drives me mad.

Is the resoldering of the coronet actually possible? Is there a watchsmith on this forum here in the US that can do it?

In my opinion, the subdials look too fat on the CF.

The Clean V3 has increased the font size of their subdial text and the subdials no longer look fat as per V2.

However, i've seen a couple of them posted by dealers that has fat subdials rings on the last 2-3 rings, which is HIDEOUSSSS and OUTRAGEOUSSSSSSSS...

If y'all are buyin them, theres no way you would not spot that CARDINAL flaw on QC.
Great example, this one

Just received QC for 2 v3 dials. All perfect.

Would you mind sharing the QC pics?

It would be great news if they fixed the subdials with a silent update.
Fix what bro? they are perfect.
Plus in QC pics everything on the dial is lit up so it's never a thing to go by.

I don’t think it needs to be resoldered. I was able to take the coronet off by sliding a thin sheet of paper under it and prying it off, I’m pretty sure I can just push it back in if needed. I could be wrong though.
