Hello my loved ones
As many of you guys required, the comparison needs more participants, so we gathered all we have to make this post. And for the C+ insert, they didn’t send us the latest version, so we will probably add it here later when they finally release.
We tried our best to stay neutral on this review, please know this is only about personal preference, don’t be too harsh on others. Also please understand the color of the gen insert changes a lot under different angle and light, it’s very hard to capture its beauty with camera.
Gen details
Gen VS. Clean V2
Color score: 0 point - It is slightly lighter, color off: 20%.
UV light score: 1 point - It turned red and glowed, brightness: 40%.
Engraving texture score: 1 point - Basically the same.
6/18 transition score: 1point - Beautiful and clean.
Subtotal: 3 points.
Gen VS. Clean V2s
Color score: -0.5 point - It is a bit darker color off: 40%.
UV light score: 1.5 point - It turned red and had a strong glow, brightness: 80%.
Engraving texture score: -1 point - The texture is different on the red and blue part due to the different rigidity, it also caused some peeling off of the fillings. The flaws are not visible with bare eyes and Clean may fix it after first batch.
6/18 transition score: 1 point - Beautiful and clean.
Subtotal: 1 points.
Gen VS. Xing V5
Color score: 0 point - It is slightly pinkish, color off: 20%.
UV light score: 1 point - It turned red and glowed, brightness: 40%.
Engraving texture score: 1 point - It’s a bit rough.
6/18 transition score: -1 point - The color transition is okay, but the fillings on them are thick and uneven.
Subtotal: 1 point.
It seems Xing bezel is using the same material as Clean V2, the glow under UV light was alike. One thing I need to mention that the engraving technique is different from Clean and Xing. Xing engraved the bezel from the vertical position as most other factories does. Clean V2/V2s uses the laser head that can change its position for different insert part and makes cleaner eadges. (We visited the supplier factory and may go there few times to finish the revealing post)
The GMT is a tough one for replicas, especially with Pepsi insert. Not surprised the rumor said C+ is taking Clean V2s material, they finally upgraded. It’s good to see factories trying to offer more options with different movement and details among various prices.
See you soon~
