Hey there,
I am a new member of this forum and since few days i am reading quite intensely to gain more knowledge. Since I couldn’t find anything useful to the following question, I was wondering if someone could help me out:

Between TDs, there are sometimes slightly different namings for (i guess) the same models. Are those models exactly the same or is there really a difference between them?

As an example:
1. TDs Website:



2.TDs Website:



For instance „new bezel insert“ is used by the second one, while first link uses V3 in his naming.

I just want to finalize my decision and order my watch. Would really appreciate any kind of help.

Thanks and bests

You shouldnt be looking at dealers but the factory. All dealers source the same watch.

There are over 5 variants of Clean bezel. V1, V2, V2S are no longer offered so don't worry about those. V3 and V3S are the 2 latest bezels.

Dealer websites while their pics are good they have alot of misinfo and confusion between all of them. You should use the forum as your research guide.


This is the relevant Clean thread where you can learn more.

Imho I would also contact both dealers on whatsapp before you buy and ask them specifically what insert you are getting. In general they'll almost always source the latest bezel/versions of watches, in your case the Clean GMT would be V3. The V3S insert is more expensive than regular V3 so unless you're asking for it you won't get it. If you want to know what V3 vs V3S difference is just read the forum thread I linked you.

Kind of long winded but yeah.

Good luck with your purchase and remeber to only pull links from here :

Hi and welcome to RWI! Glad you found your way here.

Beyond what @Reaps already told you, just make sure you A) research here what you're going to buy and B) just ask the TD for the most recent version.

Please take some time to read the sticky threads in the new members area (all subsections), learn the basic forum rules and get some very good advice in the process. A number of questions has already been answered there, this is just an example:


As a new subscriber, you've already been directed to this thread, please read carefully and look through the linked additional threads:


Another good thread to read to understand where RWI comes from and some fundamentals is this:


Most of the information you need to know to start is there. If you're preparing to buy, read the stickies before ordering. When you're finished, you can continue learning by reading the stickies in all remaining sections. If it's stickied, it's important information.

If you intend to sell, read the sales rules and all stickies in the sales section with particular care and make sure you understand each single rule. Sales rules infraction is taken very seriously here. As a new member you are not eligible to sell. Using the sales section is a privilege, eligibility must be earned, make sure you know and understand how.

For anything else, feel free to reach out to @eBoy or me, we're happy to assist, advise, direct, explain. Don't hesitate.

Don't be afraid to post noob questions in the new members area. In doubt, use the flame free zone. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere in the new members area, please reach out to @eBoy or me. Mutual respect is of utmost importance to us. On the other hand, we're grown-ups and are supposed to be able to deal with a bit of irony, don't take it personally, ever, a bit of irony never harmed anyone. If you laugh at jokes, you'll make friends faster.

This forum is a treasure trove of information and benefits from the engagement of all members who take their time to share their knowledge, help each other out and have some fun. We hope that you'll benefit and enjoy this platform as well as contribute positively to it.

If at any point you feel to contribute also on another level, feel free to pm the boss (trailboss99) to become a supporter and get some little perks with the status (editing rights, for example).

Enjoy the forum.
