Clean GMT-II Pepsi updated bezel insert V2/V2s review and comparison

[MrButterfield]

As many have pointed out the bezel spin is less than ideal in feeling, not genlike, should one ideally not use it at all? I wouldn't want for it to fall off if there is a risk.

Maybe it’s only me, but the only time I’ve rotated my bezel is when the watch first arrived and I was fussing over making it better (cleaning out grease and re-lubing with an appropriate type and amount of lube). Since then, I haven’t touched it. I think people (including me) are too worried about this. I’d bet people with gens also never rotate their bezel after the first week of owning.

I haven’t heard anyone mention problems with it falling off. It just feels unrefined, especially considering how good the rest of the watch is.

The rotation is not perfect but does the job. It wont fall off! Have fun with it and enjoy it as the great watch it is! I do!

Curious how the installation goes. I'd have to seriously consider buying more than one just in case!

Radial movement is crap on stock CF GMTs. Pull of bezel, degrease, pull out spring to make more tension, put together - 5-10mins work for genlike feeling

How much is gen crystal? I want the proper black hole effect on the cyclops without cloudy distortion.

Guys do you think a Deep crystal is worth it? Because Clean seems to have improved their own crystal in the V3/V3S versions. I mean the deep one is still more transparent/clear but is it maybe "too clear" compared to gen with its double sided AR coating?
