Clean Factory DD3285 Clone Movement New GMTs Released

[bertieng]

C+F and CF are two different factories, right?
There have been talks about C+ for a while but which TD is actually supplying it? Not really seeing them in the RWI usual TDs' websites though.

Any idea if CF is using the new case and DD3285 for their lefty Sprite GMT too?

Any TD can get this for you if you ask them through whatsapp, websites aren't always up to date

I don't think the sprite was part of this new release, should still be using VR3186

It should be soon as it is basically just to rotate the movement.

Yeah, it’s true. But if it was going to be so soon I think they would just wait to release everything together…I guess we’ll have to wait and see

And a new DW too

Finally it's not a 126710 with the movement of the 116710. Now it's a complete and coherent 126710 rep. I like that very very much!

It looks like it still may not be a complete and coherent 126710 rep... Because unfortunately, Clean has once again overlooked the case engraving between the lugs. These 126710s are marked as 126711 (chnr aka Rootbeer).

Photos can be seen on various TD sites.
This one is from Steve at theonewatches.

That would be a mess . Maybe the TDs mixed up the pictures from the 126710 and the 126711. I sometimes see this on Jtime‘s website that he unfortunately mixes up pictures from different watches. For example when you look at a Daytona and suddenly you end up looking at an IWC movement . But I think there is another thread about the new release with pictures included. Maybe I‘ll find it.

I found the thread here
It is actually from steve at theonewatches and you can see that everything is alright with the reference number. I made a screenshot of the reference number comparison:

The same wrong case engraving is shown on jtime as well. It's not a mix up either, because the 126711 has a "gold" bezel.

It's possible that it was just a "display piece" that was sent to TDs for promotion, and the actual release will have the correct case engraving.

I lived through the days of timebomb movements. A reliable GMT like the VR3186 was a godsent. I witnessed too many broken watches on my wrist.

I wanted to buy a batman and this change in movements surely put me on hold. I hope they are just as reliable, otherwise I'd take a 12xxx rep with the 11xxxx movement everyday!

ahhhh the time bomb days...

Yeah you are totally right. In the end the movement isn‘t visable. But it makes a good feeling to have a coherent Rolex and not a frankenstein Rolex that has the movement of the old one but looks like the new one. So I just hope the new one is as reliable as the old one

Who can see case engravings?

Who can see case engravings?

Agreed. Not being critical but I never understood why they are important.

Rolex seems to think they are important, as do the rep factories, which is why they're there.

Ok,

I had a few BLRO beginning with the Noob and the timebomb movement. At the moment a CF with gen crystal, crown and date… how about frankening the 3285? Parts seem to be waaay overpriced?

And I don‘t see a lipmod?

Mine here: Looks like a 2018 …

Holding my (exploded) timebomb 126710 wondering if I can sell it for the $600 this will cost
