Don’t know about you guys, just got my no date CLEAN Sub. Very very disappointed! Major back play. Sure the bezel is not as stiff as the older version but the quality is a joke! I expected more from Clean and JTime. These guys QC are getting slobby. My other watch SEL has a huge gap and Lana said it was perfectly fine when I asked.

First off, I don’t have the energy or time to waste making false claims. Second of all, how can you take “pictures” to prove that the bezel had back play...it is a motion/action thing. My previous post wasn’t posted for a warranty claim so I don’t think I would bother with the added trouble. If you have the same issues as mentioned....I guess CLEAN is wack...if not, good for you.

why do you sound so angry? Cool down, I think we are all interested in whatever you had claimed, and want to have a look at the issues. TBH, this is useful for the people who have yet to buy one.

Maybe you can share a short video of the play? :) I'm interested too!

These are reps so each watch you receive can be completely different due to the QC that goes for every factory you may get a good one or a bad one.

I received Clean date and no date, the bezel back play and stiffness is completely different on both watches.

One rotates smoothly and has big back play the other is stiff as a fucker and no back play.

Also one had spring bars which had bent tips on one side so SEL fit and recess was uneven and had play so I had to change them.

Luckily most of the issues were with only one watch so I got almost perfect QC no date and the other one with some minor issues.

You can fix your bezel issue with new spring bars.

For me it's normal when I get a new watch I expect a little work to be done on them to fix some minor issues even replacing a bracelet / clasp if needed.

The issues I have with my no date was gritty on winding.the bezel it slightly stiff no play back
but I found it better than my VSf hulk as I always felt VSF looks and feels replica on the wrist .
But with no date over all if is very good one.

Sure, happy to help!

QC is where you decide if the watch is the one you ordered and where you make sure there are no terrible flaws.

Hope this helps.

RL all day long. Tell your TD the rehaut is detached - that's not an easy fix. He'll replace it instantly.

Who said you were making false claim buddy?

Why so defensive?

Who said anything about "warranty claim"????

You also said there's huge gap in the SEL, no? That's not a motion thing which picture can help us understand where you're coming from, no?

Was trying to help and that's all. Chill out.
