Week 32, white AT&T 64, DN factory, perfect. Walked in to Apple store 9/23 and bought ( well, technically, I arrived 90 minutes before they opened and was 2nd in line.)
 
Week 31, Serial # starts with DN

32GB White.

returned my black that started with F1 I think week 37 (buzzing and hissing earpiece, didn't want a bar swap) and got lucky getting an in-store pick up.

I don't want to eat my words, but I swear DN is the factory to go with period.

My mom's iPad3 is flawless. I've never seen a DN iPad3 that is messed up.

My dad's iPhone 5 black DN is perfect as well. And seemingly, my DN white is perfect as well. The proximity sensor dimmed the screen too much right out of the box, but a quick restore appears to have fixed that. Probably just a calibration error out of the box.

Too bad you can't pick and choose.

Seems like others here have perfect DN iPhone 5's as well.

Might be hard to get one though, I think all the display models I saw were F1. Not that they're bad necessarily, but DN seems to be spot on

week 36 September
Black 32gb picked up at Apple Store Tysons Corner, VA on 9/26/12. Flawless.
 
Mine was 38th week DN factory and had chips along the bottom edge out of the box. I dont think its the factory more of the timing. Seems like the first batches had more care in the manufacturing than the later.

Im going to try and wait till the end of my two week return period and hopefully pick up one thats being manufactured right now (after they have been yelled at for the poor quality).
 
Week 36 - Black iPhone 32GB (GSM)

Factory - DN China, Chengdu - Foxconn

Flawless until I managed to nick the bezel.

Had an F2 and exchanged it at the bar for a DN and I agree, my current phone is aesthetically flawless and it's got better battery life.
