Hello everyone I received my QC photos today and everything looks good. If there's anything I missed, please let me know. Just Timegrapher numbers: I'm not sure if it's a little high +8s/d 316 0.1ms

Did Clean Factory acquire ZZF?

I was looking to buy the best 114060 in the market, to replace my Noob V7.


Is this the best 114060 out there?

Yep, just try to find one with the angled cg's

Oh, I found the issue...

I thought it would be something much worse than this.
I doubt this will be visible on the wrist.

I might order this no date submariner.
Or do you think there's some other factory that's better (don't like ARF's dial indexes)?

Cheers

I can add my own experience with the Clean 114060 LN, where the newest one have fixed the Crown Guards and have a tighter Bezel rotation.

My finding of the delivered watches in more detail:

Ordered a Clean 114060 LN at Jtime in march '21:
- Good watch, which is "faultless" for the Clean 114060 LN we can call it "ZZFV3.5 / CleanV1"
- VR3130 Movement with acceptable finish
- Crown action not Gen but OK
- Very Good Crystal ( Thickness, clarity, Anti reflective level and colour)
- Perfect dial (Colour, print, alignment, etc.)
- Perferct Bracelet / end links
- Ok Bezel, Gen like noise, but a bit to easy to turn, and a little more play than Gen.
- OK watchcase, with the only "faults":
Crown guards a note slated enough ( like V1 picture in post # 1055 above)
Crown distance to Bezel very close but not 100% like gen.
- Very Good Brush finish - 90% like Gen


Ordered another Clean 114060 LN at Jtime in late august '21:
- Very good watch, which is "faultless" for the Clean 114060 LN we can call it "ZZFV4.5 / CleanV2"
- VR3130 Movement with acceptable finish
- Crown action not Gen but good
- Perfect Crystal ( Thickness, clarity, Anti reflective level and colour)
- Perfect dial (Colour, print, alignment, etc.)
- Perferct Bracelet / end links
- Very good Bezel, Gen noise, very little play, medium firmness to turn.
- Very Good watchcase, with the two earlier "faults" now fixed:
Crown guards curved like Gen and slated like V2 picture in post # 1055 above
Crown distance to Bezel 100% like gen.
- Very Good Brush finish - min. 90% like gen


My august '21 Clean 114060 LN has no new "faults" and is a further enhancement of my Clean 114060 LN from march '21.
