Clean 126500 Daytona review

[kikata1997]

Hello, first post question here. Would a panda ARF v2 dial fit onto a Clean v3 watch base? thanks for the help in advance

Yes, needs some shaving but i guess you are talking about the 116500. Welcome!

My gen 2024 126500 vs first batch 126500 Clean.
Being member since 2017 and knowing all main flaws of the most famous watches i can easily say that it's impossible to spot the rep.
Maybe you can have a chance if you have both in your hands and 2/3 minutes of completely calm to compare them.

The 2024 is it SH or DD movement? Somehow I cant find Clean 126500 with DD anymor.

Clean stopped using Dandong movements for now on the new daytonas, I guess because their daytona was ready to release btut the DD4131 wasnt ready then. maybe in some time they will use DD movements.

Clean has no plan to use DD4131 in 126500 atm. They invested money into SH4131. Perhaps that gives them more control over the SH movement because they are working on modding SH4131 into 4132 with true 24 hours timer for the Le Mans.

Some people say SH movement isn't reliable. I agree SH4130 was terrible but the my Clean 126500 SH4131 actually holds up better than my VSF 126500 with DD4131, which died and swapped with DD4130. This is my experience. YMMV.

Do you know what broke it? Do you still have movement?

Have version of this rep on order and have been RL 3 versions already due to dial misalignment.
Whoever is putting in the dials at Clean at the moment seriously needs his glasses adjusted.
Very frustrating.

Well, I'm not gonna be mean, but can you "post" these 3 dials that you have for us to evaluate?

I believe so too

 

[Reaps]

I believe so too

I think left is gen, simply put, the Clean bezel is the tell. If you look at the numbers on the tachymeter, the Daytona on the right, the numbers they're "closer" to the edge of the rim than the left. This is the tell of the Clean bezel which is inferior to the BTF bezel.

ummm, what’s a dial alignment? Sounds serious

TD agreed/confirmed, so not much to evaluate here. Just sharing some info that can be used to your advantage.

Been wearing my 126500 for several months now, amazed at how accurate and stable (in all position) the SH4131 is. Consistently at -2 seconds a day with an amplitude between 275-312 and 0.0-0.1 beat error.

Thank you @FiliGelli! Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Especially since where I live now I have yet to see a 126500

The Le Mans is the only other black dial I’d take over this:

What about the 126509 black dial? To me that's the perfect Daytona. Does anyone know if CF is coming out with one? I know qf has one, but I rather wait for clean. Imagine is a genuine

Same dial with “diamond” markers so I imagine the stick markers will be out eventually.

I'm surprised they did the diamonds first lol. Guess Asia/China loves diamonds more than regular markers.
