Thanks a lot @Hugg727 i will try it also with a cape cod. I already thought that not very much is needed at the rehaut.This is a good list. The rehaut polishing is optional, but I did wipe mine off with a Cape Cod a few times while I had the movement out during the xtal swap. The bezel cleaning is a must if you want decent bezel movement.
Good info in here.....

Received the new CF BLNR w/ Dd3285 movement. Crystal is still pretty low quality as usual with CF. I’d rate it a 6/10
Recommend upgrading the crystal and it’ll be a great watch

I received my CF BLNR DD3285 QC pics from TD, to my eye everything looks good except the dial font, specifically the "superlative chronometer" and "officially certified". Now it could just be the image quality being decreased over WhatsApp so TD is sending me some additional pics but I was hoping for some input. I've looked at a number of CF examples, the ones in this thread and the font looks a lot better on those examples.
Thoughts?

Incredible comparison with such a level of detail, thank you very much for the post! without having both at the side, the clean factory achieves absolutely spectacular results, they will never be perfect but we have already reached a level that was practically unthinkable years ago...

In general the dd3285 is very good. I’ve worked on several of them so far. But I have had one issue with the date finger, but I was able to solve it:
Dogwood's Watchmaking Journey
Over the past few months, I've had many (many!) requests to install Deep crystals onto watches. Deep crystals are a nice upgrade if you're into the "invisible" crystal look. However, there have been several reports of watches failing pressure tests after Deep crystals have been installed. I was...

Does anyone know the difference between Gen and the CF gasket width/height difference? I would assume that the gasket height is longer than gen, that's why its more magnified on the CF.
I don't know the exact difference, but it's a lot, i've spent a couple of days sanding down the gasket to gen height. (Gen gasket with a gen crystal, was sitting to low, and the crystal would touch the hands.)
