Clean 126000 bubble/celebration dial 36mm GEN vs. Clean comparison

[CTime]

Hi dear friends

It’s been a while since last comparison, now we have this beautiful gen bubble oyster perpetual for you guys. This piece is extremely overpriced on the martket, I believe it’s around 20k USD now, and the regular 126000 only needs about 5k USD. The main difference between 36 and 41 mm is the bubble locations on the dial, let’s focus on this 36 mm model for now.

The light blue of the dial base is really close, color lines are clean and solid, bubbles are placed in correct positions and no obvious wrong with the pattern proportion.

Under these close-up shots, I can see a bit color off of the bubble, it looked like the saturation of Clean’s bubbles are a bit lower than Gen.




As other member questioned, the blue tint of he Tiffany and this bubble dial is different, and wanted know why.

The Tiffany dial is using air-painter, but the bubble dial is enamel, so they look really different.

I hope you like this post, we will come back soon!

Another amazing comparison. Besides some minute color difference in the green, yellow, and red balloons, the rest seems spot on or at least very close.

Clean have managed to almost perfectly capture the hideousness of the gen. Well done!

 

[raremedium]

Wow really close

Well done clean factory. Fun watch IMO

 

[kiasunkiasi]

another tempting rep...

Wouldn’t be seen dead in that . Nice comparison though

These are absolutely fecking disgusting. I've hated these since they first came out and I've glanced away in disgust whenever a B list celeb has flaunted them at an ego filled party. That said, three little bastards are growing on me and I think I might pick one up. Strange thing, eh, taste.
Does anyone want to C&R one before I count my pennies?

This rep is great except the minute hand. It's not symmetrical at all

Where are you based? Just want to work out if it's worth me buying yours when you (inevitably) C&R it

In all honesty, I'd love to read a couple of lines, mini-review once you get it (and perhaps have had it for a few weeks and the novelty factor wears off).

Hey mate, I’m based in Australia. Still awaiting QC after rejecting first one so could be a while. Will definitely let you know how it goes on the wrist!

What was wrong with the first QC watch?

What was wrong with the first QC watch?

The watch was running +28s/d, a bit high for my liking taking into account watch being handled during shipping etc

@Tommygunzzzz Would you mind posting a pic of the dial from the QC ?

My QC pic (approved). Everything looks pretty good to my untrained eye. Rehaut looks nice. Main differences from the gen that I can see is that the crown is not as 3-D (the gen seems to be a little more rounded on the points), but hard to really tell from the angles on the QC pics. Also, while the colors of the dial and circles seem to be pretty good, the pink circles are a little lighter compared to the gen.

Is it the 36 mm version ?

Clean did a great job with the dial, at this distance the slight differences in shades are (to me) not noticeable
Really fun little watch

Just arrived 36mm
