I would probably just put a "WTB" in the exchange, there is gonna be some smaller wristed guys that removed one or 2.
Cheers

Great, did just that! Thanks!

They are glossy and more rounded. The last step for clean to fix.

Really? Not the fact that the gen has a more bright shade of white?

I think he's referring to the hour markers and hands

Anyone know where I could buy links compatible with this bracelet? I've asked several TDs and they said the factory won't sell them, I'd have to buy a whole second bracelet at about 1/4 the cost of the watch...

Whole bracelet maybe from CTIME

$170 plus shipping. I'm hoping I can just get someone willing to part with two of their unused ones for $50

Looks like we have a new challenger in the game. First impressions?

Too bad that inside it seems to have the sh3285 movement, the dd3285 of clean is of another category in comparison, it makes the difference!

THIS!!! The quality difference between the DD3285 and the SH3285 is day and night. The SH3285 has a weak setting lever -- I've seen too many of them break within months of people getting them to trust that movement.

Until we see another factory get the curvature of the bezel numbers correct, I don't think there will be any compelling reason not to go with the Clean Exp 2.

So for any factory in China that can make an explorer 2 bezel with numbers that are aligned using "Envelope Distort" rather than "Text on path" in a CAD/CAM package, you'll have a heap of orders from people who want to buy the watch for its bezel.
