Just received QC from my dealer. I guess the latest batch comes with the correct larger 7mm crown. VSF Exp40 on left, CF Exp39 on right.

It must be a very recent fix. I bought a few weeks ago and I have the small crown (I think). My crown is 6.0mm in diameter.

He measured it at 6.5mm, but it looks like he set the micrometer jaws inside the grooves. Dimensional analysis with lug width on that side image shows 7mm. I was fine with the 6mm but am happier with it being larger. He said the Clean with the 7mm crown wasn't available 10 days ago when I ordered.

Clean fixed the wrong hands on its 224270 as well. Both VSF and Clean versions are correct now. Time for a comparison @CTime !
Yes please! Hopefully @CTime hqs one coming.

The Clean hands look better but there is a visible flaw on the center "dot" on the hand stack. I have seen this on a recent reddit post yesterday on the latest Clean release. I am no expert but I cannot unsee it. Any thoughts? It looks better to me on the VSF.

lol if you mean the center pinion, you're not wrong but i will spoil all replicas for you, every single replica has this problem LOL. VS sub to CF daytona to every high tier replica. Some look better than others but all of them stock don't match gen :ROFLMAO:

go look at your watches right now and see if you can spot such an issue on wrist without a loupe. you can't. people are just nitpicking everything. if this kind of detail matters then you shouldn't be buying replicas, you should be buying gen, or at the very least, super franken hands + dial

Is this the "visually obvious" thing again? Seriously?

Before I get flamed and laughed at too hard, i admittingly was looking at the pics of the old hands. The new stack is much better and looks most closer. Thanks! I wish I could delete that.

Don’t worry about that, people won’t treat you seriously when they read “I have seen this on a recent reddit post” from your reply above.
