Anyone have information if Clean has taken care of this bracelet problem in new batches? Or do we have to wait for v2 before they adess this?

We can suppose they did because there are also people that do not experience any problems so far and the steel inox has been changed too.
I wouldn’t expect a V2.

I got my first REP, the CF explorer 1 36mm a week ago. What a gorgeous watch!

No bracelet problem so far.

Question: The edges of the crystal appear white as in the picture. Is this normal (as in gen watches) or is this a problem with Clean Factory Crystals? I’ve read somewhere that CF Datejust suffers that white edge thing.

Screengrabbed from a gen review which also has the white edge on protruding crystal.

Been loving my clean 36mm for a few months. No bracelet issues so far. Am sending this out to my watchmaker in a few months and would love to grab some gen parts to enhance the watch but cannot find any online 124270 parts for sale. Any compatible models for crystal, hands, crown even gaskets?

Yes, this is how gen crystals look.

I received qc Pictures for my 36 Today.
It does Not have the Updated clasp stamp.
Are there still Both versions being made ?

Yes I think that parts stock is still mixed. They need time to “clean” their stock

Can someone with calipers measure the exact thickness of the CF 39mm? Gen is 11.2mm and the listings from different dealers don't match.

How long did you guys have to wait for the 39mm QC pics? Is there a ridiculous waiting time?

I don’t think Clean Factory ever has or ever will use eta clones. Maybe in their past lives before Rolex clone movements became a thing, but never as Clean Factory.
I’ve heard other guys say the same thing but I’ve recently purchased a few Clean watches with 2836 movements in them. They’re very good and the movement and price seems to be the only differences.

Are you sure they’re real Clean? What watches are they?
