Bezel isn’t rollerball. Have already been confirmed by Steve in the other thread so it’s probably the same feel and action as clean and arf

you can see the bezel action in this review, skip to 2:47, it's alot better than Clean, more stiff, no backplay, etc

but i think maybe it needs a bit of lubrication, the opposite problem of clean LOL

definitely better than clean, but talking out of my ass since i haven't had it in hand,

C+ needs to be brought into the fold. Doesn't have Dan's Dong, but movement isn't a timebomb. Less familiar serial, lots of clean parts otherwise. Very affordable base.

A typical AI generated comparison with some misleading/false information!

The video doesn’t tell anything, to me it looks more like Clean’s action.

I don’t agree. You can literally see the force he has to use to turn the bezel, that’s nothing like my Clean bezel 😅

Mine has exactly the same action, it depends on which Clean batch you’ve got

Take a look at the «Post of the Year» for 2024 and the attention it has gotten since it was written, what you’re saying is not the norm - thats for sure 😅

Have you tried reading the thread you’re posting in?
Yes I did and it’s very confusing. I want to know which crystal is better and the bezel colour looks worse in the VSF but someone commented it might be the background lighting

If you could just tell me which one would you choose and why, that’d be very kind of you
