I always end up having to ask for high definition pics on top of what jtime send me, you could easily miss a flaw on their standard pics.
They are very friendly and provide great customer service though.
in another thread i read that the bracelets of the CF do not have the "bearings". What is it about? I would like to get the 124060 version, I think it is better to always avoid the date, and this CF seems to me very close to being 1: 1. What are the small "imperfections"?
Not sure about others but after time I realised there are some really minor misalignments like the etched crown and rehauts. While resizing the bracelet, some links are ultra tight prob due to the tolerances. Lume is good and overall it’s really a good piece. I heard there was a weight difference from gen but wasn’t able to verify yet. Hope this helps mate.
Guys i just got the gen and i have the clean.
Following my impressions about the difference that i have noticed.
I have checked for the most the case but i'll compare also the bracelet when i'll have time.
I'm talking about flaws noticeable with naked eye at 20/30 cm distance.
- rehaut = Gen has a brighter surface than clean. It's the first flaw that i have noticed.
- hands = Gen has a warmer color than clean because they are made off white gold.
- crown guards = There is not too much difference but the gen one has a perfect shape.
- sels = Gen has perfect slightly recessed and tigh sels. Clean sels are good but they are not so perfect.
Operating differences:
- bezel click = Gen has a different sound and the rotation is more thwarted than Clean.
- crown = When you screw/unscrew, wind, set the time you feel the precision that you expect from a Rolex. My Clean has a really good crown action but you can't compare it to the Gen feeling.
That's all i have noticed after 5 minutes of play with my new baby.
I can say that you can wear your Clean thoughtless because it's near to impossible to spot as rep when you wrist it.
Only a gen owner who knows this rep world could notice those differences.
Relax and enjoy this beauty.

Thank you for sharing, please side by side photos when / if you have the time, I think these two are the most visible for a guy who knows where to look x especially the rehaut
Congrats on your new gen & thank you for the comparison. Well wear Sir :thumbsup:
Gen 152g
Clean 149g
Both adjusted for my wrist so exactly same number of links.
I'd say there is no difference.
