Clean EXPLORER II 226570 black & white with DD3285 comparison Gen Vs. Clean

[black69]

In this case I think, if not the same, variation should be small, weight differences come With precious metals usually, you can be safe on that aspect haha.

Ok thanks

That incorrect E in explorer is a deal breaker @CTime

I just cant unsee that "E" my eyes are drawn to it.
What a glaring mistake , will make me wait till clean fixes that.

Same. Hopefully it's fixed soon.

Mine is already ordered and placed. Everyone can tolerate different things. The E is annoying but I don't think it's an issue on wrist. We forget how small these watches are.

 

[Fervid]

That E really is a non issue on the wrist, it's almost as pedantic as the people complaining about the 'm' in 300m.

 

[Reaps]

Yes. And I think v2 for this watch will take a while. For those of you "waiting" for a v2, you can wait, but remember that the replica game never promises anything.

they solve the "E" but then something else comes out....the only one that doesn't have defects is called gen...which in fact if you know it, you notice it otherwise I find it difficult without a magnifying glass.....

 

[black69]

I will buy it soon but I find something quite strange rather than very small inaccuracies... I read that it is waterproof to more than 50 meters... but then they declare that it cannot be immersed... but can I take a shower? at least....

Never trust the claims made about the waterproofness of replicas. It's hit and miss tbh.

Personally, I’ve never had any issues when showering with my replicas, but there’s no guarantee what so ever.

One thing is certain: if you plan to swim with the watch, I would recommend getting it waterproof tested by a third party either before or after purchase. A couple of the trusted dealers offer this service for an additional fee.

Generally can be made waterproof as per Josse said but it's a rep not gen, remeber they're not assembled to the best standard

I've seen reps come with caseback not tightened, the O-ring in crown improperly placed, crystal gasket fitted improperly pinching it and causing leaking at the crystal. All of which can cause water ingress.

So as Josse said the best advice is to just get it pressure tested before swimming/showering.

And remeber that waterproofness is not forever, in principle you should check every year (that's what they reccomend for gens)

thanks for your reply...of course they are not watches for diving but they should have at least a minimum of water resistance...the resistance of a shower or a dive in the sea....they are not that cheap....

yes of course it's true! the watch in general, doesn't like water unless it's professional... but they should guarantee a minimum standard..they are replicas of a higher level... anyway ok thanks for the advice!

 

[black69]

in this case wanting to request a waterproof test before shipping, do they do it? (ctime) ... it's a very bad thing to see a watch like this with humidity inside!!

 

[Geonor]

People gotta remember that every penny spent on making these watches is just to make it as visually similar to the real thing as possible. Visually. It's a toy. To make it more of a tool watch you have to go through some tests and maybe swap some gaskets yourself.

 

[black69]

Aaaa here they are, they are toys! Ok!!

 

[slyclopse]

Really chuffed they sorted the crown. I've just accepted QC on mine

[patek_with_sellita]

Damn you shouldn’t have mentioned the E, my ocd will kill me.

 

[black69]

I'm buying it now! FucX "E"
