Both the VS and CF take it just fine, can confirm.
Just received my bezel and xtal from Deep. Right off the bat the bezel color looks great, it has the yellowish tint of the gen and makes my CF bezel look like tin foil. The AR of the xtal is also very noticeable in comparison to the OOTB clean. Now if I can only find someone to install it 
. I’ll update with better photos once installed but here’s a preview.

There are plenty around to install. Enjoy, they are huge upgrades. But you notice it more once done.

Really easy DIY. I’d never done a crystal or bezel install before but I did my first ones a few weeks ago, started on a Clean Wimbledon as well and it took me under 10 minutes and $50 worth of tools that paid for themselves after now having done a few crystal swaps.Just received my bezel and xtal from Deep.

Agreed. I was somewhat of a skeptic until I received the Xing. Spent at least 30 minutes trying to capture the difference on camera so people could appreciate the improvement. But alas, here we are.

And just for clarification, the installed bezel is Xing. The loose bezel is the stock CF bezel plated by Jim that I just received back.

Just received 3 DJ36 bezels. If anyone needs one shoot me a dm.
guys I’m fairly new here and may not have caught something. Apologies if it has been asked before.
How come it has a yellow tint if it’s platinum-plated? Can you ‘white gold’ plate something since white gold is not a single metal? If it’s platinum plated then it can’t have a yellow tint I just don’t get it

There is no direct translation for white gold in Chinese, so they use the term platinum. And it’s likely rhodium, but the point is that it mimics the warm color of Rolex’s white gold.
Your watch looks amazing and it is such a big treat to have a bezel plated a colour other than stainless for some spicy contrast, but the gen whitegold bezel has no hint of yellowish tint whatsoever. I do love that we have this option open to us though. Looks beautiful from the pics.

I think it is a little yellow. Because white gold isn’t actually white unless it is coated with rhodium (or something). So the gen bezel will start yellowing as the coating rubs off.
