Yep the lume is definitely off. That is a bit of a let down imho.

I really don't see the difference regarding the lume vs the gen. It seems every pic of the gen shows the lumes are yellower than the dial...

Has anyone seen the chrono seconds hand run on a CF in any videos yet ? Or have a video ?

Curious to see if it shutters or not out of the box…

SA4130 just is not the same as A4130 in tolerances or quality…

What's the difference between the two?

The SA4130 is not completely Dandong… like the A4130 made for Noob…. I have yet to get one on my bench to note everything…

Sounds as it’s like a VS3135 vs a SH3135 type of deal…. I know they are not the same and the quality is lower on the SA4130…. Maybe There’s someone with more info that can shed some light on this out there ?

I don’t know about you guys… but after shipping.. this is close to $900… for $1500 you get get a quality Swiss watch that’s gen…there is endless Black dial Speedmaster, Tag Carerra Chronograph, and Breitlings… all under $2000.. I recently picked up 2 Tag Heuer Carerra Chronograph watches for $2400…. Hamilton has nice chronograph watches for $500-$900..I got 2 Hamilton chronos as well on eBay

So I do I buy a beautiful Jazzmaster for this price, or pay $1500 and get an Omega Speedmaster, Tag Carerra chronograph, or Breitling chronograph?

What can i say man than do that. For near 900 you get clone vertical column chrono movement with good build quality ootb rather than getting breitling chrono or tag.

Dandong used to make the Noob 4130 and all the VSF movements. Best in the business. Sadly these guys stepped on their own toes. They showed off their movements at trade show (atleast this is what i read in reddit) allowing Rolex to aggressively come after them and shut them down. I don't know who makes the Clean movements but may probably be not up to Noob standards. Even if anyone is going with a CF case/dial/hands, I still think a serviced Noob 4130 movement (made by Dandong) is the way to go.

Also, we seem to be talking a lot about external aesthetics. Unless someone has tested/commented on the movement...Clean is no go for me. Enjoy!!

My opinion: the case is still way off from gen in side view. The dial is meh, yellow markers, font is too thin (but apparently correct as 2021 gen dials). Coronet seems better than Noob,

From what I understood, we are talking about pretty much the same movement from Dandong, but CF did engraving on some parts that will not look as good as Noob's did. I can be 100% wrong but that is how I understood it.

Nobody knows what the reliability is, we are all taking the chance of having a $800 paperweight. I put my order in and hoping for the best.
