CLEAN Factory 124060 No Date Submariner New Release
- Thread starter trustytime
- Start date
Sorry guys for the stupid question but how often and how do u clean your CF rep from all the finger prints etc and dust/grime build up on both the bezel and the bracelet? Do you use water or any specific method of cleaning to avoid any scratches or damage?
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance
That's the thing holding me up to get one its the wrong reference numbers between the lugs. So yours still says 126610 instead of 124060?

I'm curious why that would bother you. I'm not criticizing at all...just curious. Mine is marked 126610 and I never even think about it. In fact if I hadn't worked on the watch and removed the bracelet I wouldn't have known about it.

Will a Gen xtal from a 41mm Oyster Perpetual Daydate swap in to a Clean Factory 124060LN? (Just ordered from Li). I can remove the cyclops easily enough just didn't know if anything else needs to be modified for the xtal?
Here we go!

I would like also to add the timegrapher reads.
That's quite interesting....

Clean:
Most of you guys think that gen means "watch from Mars, made of unobtanium from alien hands"
In fact the Clean one has a better amplitude and that's funny!
You are looking for details that also the Rolex AD doesn't know.
Be grateful thinking that you can get a 1:1 gen watch for 1-20 than reseller price.
That's in my opinion a little miracle!
Stop to looking for something that doesn't exist in real life.

Clean amplitude is higher because it's a 313X hybrid and not a 3230. Your gen 3230 runs is identical amplitude and beat error as my gen 3230. I can't get BE to 0.0 no matter how hard I try. Of course you should put lift angle at 55° for a true amplitude reading on the gen.
Thanks for the comparisons!
Thanks mate!
I didn't think that in fact here i have two different movements.
Anyway i didn't expect that beat error on the gen 3230 fresh from the AD.
I also have an 116610lv 2017 gen and it runs perfect with zero beat error from the first day that i got it new. I expected the same from this new movement.
Anyway it doesn't matter.
Fun fact, Rolex itself says in his technical informations the BE must be within 0.8 ms
It is truly a beautiful piece. Thanks for the comparison photos, not everyone has a gen (and in this case the same model) to make comparisons.

Damn! I guess my 0.2 isn’t so bad then.
I received mine today from Jtime. When winding it, I feel and hear some strange grinding as if 2 pinions teeth jump each time I turn the crown. The watch itself seems to be working though. I have sent an email to Lana as I really don’t know what to do. All I know is that it’s not advised to send a watch back to China.
