Impressed with the Date Wheel in your QC. Looks good.

the white and silver dial with jubilee bracelet of course seems to me the best option for this watch.

For members interest, here is my Wimbledon, already approved and should be in my hands in a couple of weeks.
I just placed an order for DJ41 with the Wimbeldon dial and I was wonder if the date flips exactly at 12 or does it slowlly turn?

The crown issue? I mean there is no issue, it's slightly bigger than gen.
Would you notice it in real life? No. It's a tiny crown about 10% larger than gen. People get so hysterical about these things, if you viewed them together with a gen watch next to it then you would spot it. But chances are you'd also spot other flaws so what's the point? The crown size does not detract from this being a good release.
The CF DJ is great. You can't get VSF so it's someone of a moot point.
Here's my CF Wimbledon next to the VSF with whitegold plated bezel by Nik. Definitely well done by CF. Not sure what they did, but it looks nice. Can't say that about the crystal though.
The blue dial on my pics is gen. Even at that magnification the difference between the crowns is barely visible, IMHO not an issue in real life.

Thanks for sharing. It's always hard to tell whether the color is coming from the metal or from the reflection, but I think I see what you mean.
Great looking watches in any case, congrats.
Since you have both, another question: do you see any difference in the gasket color / opacity? From some pics it looked like the CF had a somewhat white gasket, bit again there's many things that can give that impression so I'd be interested in your opinion. Thanks
With that pathetic cyclops, the gasket colour is your smallest issue on the CF Datejust.

Sure but even with another crystal you may have to reuse the rep gasket. Hence my question, how is the gasket in real life? Is it good or does it have a white shade to it?
Thanks

How are the hands on the CF compared to VSF or Gen? Worthy upgrade or leave it alone? Some pics they seem fine, others seem really flat?!?
It flips, but not bang on 12, about 5 mins to.

Just approved this watch, will make high quality pics once here.
Bezel looks like a V2 but the shine doesn't seem quite right.
Again, it might be because of the Krusty QC pics taken.
