Clean 126500 Daytona review

Gents, thank you very much for your answers about the oysterflex strap. It looks like there is no oysterflex with endlinks available for now.
My next question is - how about the everest/rubber b straps from the 116500? Will such a strap fit the 126500?
Can't wait till the Daytona arrives. However, I really need to find a nice rubber for this beauty...

Would be really great if we could get our bezels platinum filled in the US or EU
Would you possibly know the price for a gen bezel? My google skills seem rather weak.

I’m surprised that Clean can produce a whole watch in such a small amount of time but we can’t’ get any end links to install an OF strap.

Finally the new 126500 panda that I order with deep crystal installed arrived.
I try to catch the details comparations but it's so difficult to get with the iPhone camera, maybe because it's too cloudy today, or my lack of photography skills.
IRL, there's the difference about 10% more clarity that I can see from deep and clean stock..
I know some said clean stock is good OOTB, and I agreed...
But I prefer the one with deep installed. Deep pop the details indices, hands and a the dial more..
For me ( and I'm sure for some of us here in RWI) the 10% is more than enough
..
That's why we here in RWI.
The left one clean stock, the one on the right with deep installed.

Exactly.. I love my btf cause the clarity. Overall build quality btf on part with cleanI have 126500 panda too with deep xtal, i really love it..comparing with my btf 116500 xtal, it almost the same clarity
The clarity and lack of reflection of deep is nice, but pretty far from gen. I would say that deep is more pretty, but CF is a lot more gen likeFinally the new 126500 panda that I order with deep crystal installed arrived.

Thank you for this, I have been wondering about this since Clean released the 126500 with their “new and improved” crystal.Finally the new 126500 panda that I order with deep crystal installed arrived.

Very good report, and photos.
One question … your comments comparing the size and shape of the two crystals, CF vs. Deep ?
I don't think end links are loose like the previous series.. they are kinda for part of the case with the bezel on top of it. Loose end links for the previous series are aftermarket.

There isn't even an after market or gen variant of the end links for the 126500.... so you want a rep factory to be better than Rolex themselves?
