Send photos if you do 🤗

Haha really wanna get it in white
But not sure if I wait for an upgraded version.

If they don’t bring out a new version until January I might just get it …

It arrived and I am very happy with it. Really nice and shiny. I ordered it in white because I have a black gen dial that I planned to replace later. I think I will keep it that way for now.

A little flaw is with the SEL, only noticeable in direct comparison.

Clean: Good fit

My gen: Even better

May be only my bracelet has this flaw, otherwise this means some room for improvement for Clean.

Also thinking about getting this exact modell. Currently waiting on a VSF hulk and BTF blue daytona.

How do you think is the quality of the pushers/ the general feel of the watch compared to the gen?

If they don't update this version or BTF brings one out by end Dezember/ beginning Jan I might just buy one 😂
Moving back to Switzerland after and afraid of customs there. Haha everything I buy abroad seems to land there...

I think the watch head is very well made, subdials or not. Pushers and crown action is almost identical to gen. The push resistance is be a little bit weaker on the Clean. Rotor noise is the same and accuracy is even better (<1 s/day :) One noticable difference is the movement of the chrono seconds hand. On the Clean, it moves at estimated 4 beats per second while on the gen the seconds hand moves smoother (8 bps?). Perhaps this is common knowledge but I was suprised at this technical difference.
What falls off a bit in feel for me is the bracelet. It feels a bit lighter, and not as valuable as the head. I have not weighed it, however.
Complaining at a high level :)

What do you feel about the subdials 'shine' and size. Is it that bad

If any of the hands movement is not as smooth it’s due to tolerance problems in the wheels

Checking with the slow motion camera of the iPhone proves that the clean chrono hand also makes 8 beats per second, as expected. Just not as evenly spaced as the original. Thanks for the explanation!

Personally, I like it. However, for the trained eye it‘s a relatively easy tell which makes it ‚bad‘ in that sense.

The thing I noticed is the subdial hands looks shorter on the update version, they look correct on the v1

I have seen on rolex forum that a member there have done a review on different year models of the black and white dial and even gen. watches has diferent color tone and shines.
