Clean Factory New Submariner Series Review (Incl. Comparison Pics vs Gen)

[GrandmasterChime]

But the seconds hand is at the top of the stack... How does that fix what I see through the hole in the dial?

This is same as gen. Not an issue

Hard to tell. Is clean back with the old case?

Correct case!

Another question I have is... In the gen 114060, is it possible to see the brass pin through the center hole in the dial? I purchased this as a ZZF

Same on gen, it's not a tell.

 

[Mb713]

Correct case!

Thank you!

Still wrong though. Study that pic of the crown guards and you’ll see it’s flawed. There’s only 1 Sub rep with a correct case.

 

[Mb713]

Yes, and I’m thankful we can get them again. Will probably order it as well. However, even though this is still wrong, I just couldn’t tell if it’s the updated one from the first batch of crown guards. The plastic wrap along with the neutral lighting is hard to discern. At least it’s the updated one because I heard there are some going around with the previous case which was even worse!

Is anyone able to confiirm or deny that this that I received mid-September is a ZZF 114060 V3?

Hi,

I have a question regarding your received Rolex…

Does the crown really point up when it is fully screwed-down? If so, then this is a small „issue“.
Reason: Rolex crowns never point up when fully screwed-down against the case. This is also known as „the Rolex crown small imperfection“.

The most „logical” thing would be that the coronet always aligns straight when fully screwed-down against the case. Well, that is not the case.

As always there is one exception to this rule,…. Rolex Sky-Dwellers are perfectly aligned.

Best regards

Good eye!
I never noticed that, but it is perfectly aligned when screwed down tight... I have seen a few gens that line up, but I think it's just luck

Hell no, those bracelets don't come from vsf, that's what muimaras was saying, at this point you can't even believe that clean factory come with arf bracelets, cuz they even producing bootleg vsf from God's know where. clean is the shaddiest fsctory out there.

they certainly do not come with ARF bracelets. They can claim whatever they want. History repeats itself. Shady practices at Clean. Take the case and crown guards for example. Everyone complained about the CGs and they updated them to increase the hype and get everyone to buy. Then they used old cases to deplete old stock and we’re back with straight crown guards just as we though they fixed the issue. Have you noticed they never identify their updates with V2, V3 etc? I think the reason for that is because they want to have the possibility of using old parts lingering when they run out of new stock. If they use V2, V3 and officialise their updates, they can’t do that.

Hello bro yes I know I saw all the posts about mods and it’s a really good job and thAnk you appreciate it . But the best is if they don’t fade and because they are V4 and the factory said is the ultimate version I just ask to know if anybody with v4 has had any problem?

I understand you but trust me Gen can fade too

​​​​​​Time will tell

I've had several subs with CF inserts and they all fade very quickly to dark grey. The toothbrushing helps but for some reason you have to do it basically every other day to keep it anywhere near gen colour otherwise after couple of days they're dark grey again.

Now with gen insert I haven't washed it at all past six months and still bright as it was then (watch is daily).

Seems nothing beats gen insert at least right now.

You are right Gen IS Gen

I dont have say that it will fade IS the Norm on Gen only that Gen can fade too (see this more than 1 time it can happen)

So the problem it’s they are darker and they need to get them clean?? Older replicas lost the markers completely and you could see the ceramic bezel platinum colour gone away… if clean inserts are going dark gray and just need brushing I’m fine with that

 

[Mb713]

Strangely enough.. I use LCD screen cleaner spray and it works like a charm.

 

[CsViking]

So the fade it’s just dirt?
