you sound like the reddit rehaut boys. The watch is a banger. Order and enjoy.I want the black 126500 but my only concern is the subdials
I totally agree with you. My 126500 was -2 sec on the QC time graph pic. When I wear it during the day it runs +1 sec and next morning it is back to 0. No matter how I lay it down during the night, upside down, head up or on the side. winding is normal, no noise etc. Setting the hands is great, it feels strong, better then the dd44130. Have a ghost coming in, will report.I thought I’d give a 4 month update on Clean’s exclusive 4131. When I received both mine, the winding was not as smooth and the rotor not as quiet as the many DD4130 I’ve 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 silenced—at 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 don’t 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

What can a V2 improve on?
It seems Clean have really excelled straight off the bat.
AFAIK, clean 116500 V1 was good, V2 kinda messed up and they released V3 to fix problems that they introduced in V2. 126500 got so close to gen, whatever upgrade they do on V2 wouldn't be a significant one.I wouldnt think of this watch as a V1 of some brand new watch model that needs tweaking but rather a v4 of the 116500. An incredible watch they just continued to improve with this new design. If that makes sense. Not sure what there is to improve upon.
The v2 of this may end up being worst with a dial color tone change, who knows
Thank you for that feedback. That’s definitely impressive. It’s those small details that sometimes are missed. It’s less about the 1:1 for me, but more about the enjoyment of wearing the watch. If the clasp and bracelet suck, it’s less enjoyable. Sounds like this one is a winner, enjoy it!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 isn’t there on the REP, but they have to be side by side, or you’ve really got to know those subtle signs and then you know…. 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 pic’s and vid for ya all.

No, when you wear it it starts to loosing brightness but its nor fading but dirt and grease from skin and everything… once you wash it , it is bright again like newDoes the platinum coating on the insert still fade away?
of course! This is not shitters.Hello, all the sub dial works? Thx
Hello people,
Is there any TD who can assist me to get the white dial one? Please DM.
