Can you elaborate with some pictures? Trying to understand but I can't LOLNot the painting but the finishing , they are now all flat inside metal ring, on the first batches they was little curved on the edges, hard to explain but ocds like me will understand

Clean 126500 Daytona review
- Thread starter m5smg2

Iām thinking there are some settings amiss with my iPhone. Many of the macro shots get jpg artifacts and jaggies. Even under strong lighting, the images are not tack sharp. Iāve added a few more for those looking to understand if the CF dials are more to their liking. I donāt have a gen to put side by sideā¦

If you guys are so concerned about being 100% color-correct, just buy a MacBeth color checker and learn the importance of balancing your wrists shots at 18% grey.....Yep exactly - lighting matters so much, you canāt judge dial color based on a photo. For example, this is the same watch in all 3 photos. One looks blue, one pale white, one grey

Yes, especially on a white dial you can expect color and hue change from indoor soft to intense LED lighting, to outdoor grey cloudy and blue sunny day.

I thought Iād give a 4 month update on Cleanās exclusive 4131. When I received both mine, the winding was not as smooth and the rotor not as quiet as the many DD4130 Iāve had before. Mind you, I think I had the very first two 4131 (or @Bobi01 was first) where the rotor was shipped dry (CTime shipped the rotor oil after). After alternating both for four months, the winding is now quieter and smoother, and the rotor is mostly silencedāat least as much as the DD4130 ever was. It keeps correct time; the chrono feel, response and function feels as DD4130 and always reset perfectly.
Many Clean have been sold since February with this new movement (I own two) and to my knowledge there have been no reports of reliability concerns. Not being a movement geek, thus far I donāt see how the DD4131 could perform better.
Whereas I wear both mine carefully not to get scratches lol, I do alternate them daily since February. By contrast our @trailboss99 is doing a dedicated real world torture test we hope do get an update soon The SH4131 Daytonas - Long-term reliability test

GEN and REP.
I can edit them later to mark which is which.
Itās not the Beatles, its an incredible simulation.

The feel of it is so close, itās amazing. Sure I can feel the difference winding it, and the chronograph buttons arenāt as buttery smooth. But honestly, the look between the two live is so damn close! The crystal is more reflective than GEN, ever so slightly, but sure seems as clear! The dial color is slightly more blue. I placed them side by side and ran a 6500k LED desk lamp over them and you can barely see the hue differences as the lamp moved across them. Iāll pull the stickers off and shoot some more photos and vid. Stand by. Had to finish work firstā¦

Thanks for the photos and insight. Howās the bracelet and clasp and overall feel of opening and closing stack up vs the gen?
Very impressive. The bracelet itself, darn near impossible to tell the diff, the link alignment, looks, feel, movement, all so good. The clasp is a little tougher in comparison, for example, the link extension snap is a bit tougher to open on the REP, takes more force to open and close, not as smooth as the GEN. I have some oil I may apply, but I suspect a little use will make it so close in that regard as well. Of course the engraving is not as clean as the GEN. There is just the smothness of the font and depth (3d) effect on the GEN that isnāt there on the REP, but they have to be side by side, or youāve really got to know those subtle signs and then you knowā¦. I did the wife test, she thought the REP was the real deal! In her words, it left heavier, and more substantial in the bracelet. She absolutely could not see the hue difference in the dial, and I can.
here are some picās and vid for ya all.
