Haha, had to think about that one for a sec bro. My BLCH for comparison
I think the red is too bright personally on the VRF insert, I see this and the colors (to me) look amazing
Just my opinion but the Noob insert is a lot better in more light scenarios, even though both inserts don't really come close to any of the gen inserts.
At the end of the day they both look amazing though, and that's the main thing

We just have to keep our "rep specs" on lol. Mine are thicker than most, so I'm a happy camper, hehe.

Took some photos last night, I'll try to take some in daylight later! I am pleasantly surprised by how dark the colors are - which is something I really wanted. I was going to get a noob insert to compare, but I might not need to. I'll definitely be getting a prof crystal though.
Congrats on this nice timepiece! Looks great. The only thing which may be updated is the cyclops which looks a bit smoky on your pics, but maybe it’s the lighting.

CF has not made a Pepsi insert yet. The VRF Pepsi MAX has a VRF Pepsi insert. Whether or not is better than the Noob Pepsi insert is a matter of opinion. Look at the pics and decide for yourself. There are plenty of pics of the VRF in this thread. Look in the thread linked below for plenty of pics of the Noob.

Mark, do you ever post any positive comments? Lol
Tried to find a gen Pepsi bezel online and had no luck. Are they not readily available? It’s easy to buy a gen black bezel at a fair price but can’t find anything for the Pepsi.
A few years ago, there were very few on sales platforms like Chrono24. Prices were around 3,000-4,000 Euro. We're only talking about the insert here, without the bezel. But even if you were still willing to pay that much today: You just can't get it, and I think if you did, the price would be even higher.
You would probably have more luck getting the watch from an AD and that’s slim if you’re the average joe. If one did pop up expect to pay a few thousand for it. Haven’t seen a Pepsi but seen a Batman insert and bezel recently which was £3900.

I posted a lot of positive comments and photo comparisons in which I claimed a lot of similarity between rep and gen. Unfortunately not all reps are close to gen and pepsi is still far away. I'd be happy if they got as close as they did with the Hulk ;-)
mines been sitting in LAX for days....no movement. but now there is COVID delays and mail back logs.....no idea when this package is going to arrive. was hoping to have the crystal on and this watch complete before xmas. now this won't be complete for who knows how long.
V1 was out only weeks and V2 coming? Might be another marketing gimmick or minor, tiny change to the watch.
Dun put too much hope on these upgrade versions..... version number might increase but quality might go opp direction
I am happy with my current V1.
V2 could mean the “2nd batch”indicating popularity as it was sold out quickly. V2 is just a marketing gimmick. No improvements.
And yes quality can be inconsistent as we have seen many times before
