hey bro @big_polarbear ! I owned the CF DD3285 with old insert. And Ive bought the V2 insert (only) and newest C+ with v2s insert. I want to do the build or swap parts to make it 1 be perfect. What would you recommend to do? Sorry for my bad english. I hope you understand what I meantšŸ˜‚

Imho, Get the DD3285 movement out of your CF and the standalone V2 insert you bought and install both into the C+ watch

Update : daylight pictures. Insert colors look great, I like the MK3. but the platinum filling kinda looks dirty. Or just my eyes šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

I like the colors a lot, don't know how genlike they are, but still. The filling is really bad, especially the triangle; auch. Rest is hard to spot on the wrist. I've ordered clean's, curious to how it will look in the flesh.

Yeah shameful. How they can make an accurate color insert but the platinum filling is poor šŸ„²

So I got my v2 watch today, with the new inlay. Here is what happened after a wash in water and soap. The ā€œplatinumā€ came off :)

I swear, you canā€™t make this shit up

Old v1 vs new v2
