BPF I can excuse as a budget option but VSF charges double of what BPF does and failed to executeCause Vs and bp make still 14270 reps
I'm waiting... because I would like to buy an explorer 36mm CF but without the wrong numbers (6, 9) anyone. Does anyone have any real information from a TD who has told them that CF will fix it? Thanks so much

New batch already fixed. You can check with your QC.
Clean is generally good with these things. My guess is the pre CNY rush they ran out of markers and started slapping whatever they had onto dials.
Oh thanks for the quick reply. In that case I will contact a TD to buy one and send me QC!!
CTime told me just yesterday that they have no news on the fix.
I saw a QC photo of a supposedly fixed model on Reddit earlier this week, but it was not sourced from a TD, so hard to say if this was actually new or old stock (let's not forget that there were also QC photos of fixed CF 126500 bezels on Reddit already - while everyone here on RWI keeps receiving watches and QC photos with the old bezel, so Reddit is not really a reliable source).

regardless of whether CF has fixed the 6 & 9 numerals on 36mm 124270, these numerals are so small at arm's length and you won't be able to see it unless you know and search for them,,,
here's my 39mm 214270 at arm's length for reference

I have the same information from Ctime. Still no news about it. No fixed.
Moreover I have read this:
“
Clean Factory movements (Rotors) will no longer have text engravings/inscriptions... it will only have the crown engraved!
This applies to 3230, 3235, and 3285 movements.”
Someone have any news about this?

Yes well I saw that on reddit but I hesitate to trust such news until we get real QC.
A step back maybe but it doesnt impact anything related to on wrist experience.
Had CF ever gone backwards when making a copy? I mean,
The numbers were wrong, and now the rotor. Results? That 36mm Explorer in November was almost perfect, and in June it will be… well, let everyone draw their own conclusions.

It's probably supplier issues.....
We have seen copies change overtime... coronet shape on Daytonas is often a big one
That's just how the game goes, suppliers that provide certain parts that exist one year might be gone the next year

I did some research. Idk but it seems the no text engraving on rotor is actually an upgrade. Gen doesn't have text either.

Today I heard the first time about this „flaw“.
It took my roughly 2 minutes to see there are two different font MKII dials…
