Clean Factory Batman

Your clasp seems to be installed upsidedown, perhaps that already would improve things a little bit already.

Otherwise I would definitely try iterations of clasp springbar positions and addition/removal of links - it should be doable.

Best of luck.

[mention]Noob42069 [/mention] your clasp isn’t upside down, rather your bracelet was installed backwards (you need to use a spring at tool and put the Solid End Link - SEL - that is at the 12 o’clock position, at the 6’oclock. The part of the bracelet and that has the crown (of the clasp) closest to it, needs to have its SEL’s connected to the 6 o’clock position on the case.

yeah I noticed that while tinkering around a bit. Learned how to size bracelets for myself at least.

the spring bars that connect to the case were a fucking pain in the ass though as it’s hard to set one side and then another. I only had a one sided spring bar tool instead of a tweezer style.

the burgeon tweezer spring bar tool is $200. Anyone have a good recommendation for a different tweezer spring bar tool that costs less?

also, I did a search but couldn’t find anything.
Any recommendations for GMTii bracelet screws that will fit CFs? Banged up a bunch of mine.

Thanks! That’s what I wanted some reassurance by a veteran. Going to get the bezel aligned by a modder cause it does bother me.

Comon, you wouldn't pay $60 just to get the insert aligned

I mean isn’t this a place where people rip on the tiniest details? Lol

First of all, don’t buy tools from Amazon. If you’re in the USA, I’d recommend Esslinger.com. The Bergeon tool is $149 there and they ship stuff fast. I wouldn’t buy chinese tools. If you want to save money go for the Horotec one, it’s $89 (https://www.esslinger.com/horofix-s...EK_VeCw09ZrybyZjF_7h4-YIlGCleifgaAlK_EALw_wcB) they make great stuff too. Basically 2nd best to Bergeon.

Second, to avoid destroying your screws…. Lubricate the bracelet with a few drops of WD40, let it sit for 10 minutes and then use name brand (Bergeon or Horotec) screwdrivers to remove them. I’d recommend getting a screwdriver sharpener as well to save you money on bits - as they will get damaged/wear with repeated use.

Thank you bro.
Gen dial 126 don't fix (different movement)
I will add to my CF:

Gen bezel 126710
Gen insert 126710
Gen crystal
Gen DW
Gen crown

I think CF dial is very good...

Hello guys.

Please give me some help trying to definitely know how to spot a bezel lip.

Does this watch has the bezel lip?
Just asking because on this photo it seems that it has…

But on these photos (it’s the same watch), it seems it doesn’t have the bezel lip:

I’m afraid that I probably couldn’t really understand how the bezel lip works

Amazing!

​​​​​​When you have a moment could you be so kind and do a gen insert Vs. rep comparison under various lighting conditions? I don't think we've had one for the CF insert

Thanks!

No there is no lip, which is correct for a batman/batgirl. Only the gen pepsi has a lip

Yeah, I know that, but Clean has so many iterations of both models that, at a certain point, we all start to get confused and our eyes start not seeing straight

Look to this one for example, this seems clearly to have a bezel lip:

116710 = no lip
126710 BLNR = very little lip
126710 BLRO = lip

looking forward ... to my home soon

Congrats, mate! Will the bezel require any gen click-springs replacement or other parts before you can fit it onto the CF unit?
