Oh really? I read that the movements are almost similar, although it should be slightly better in the Clean. So the question is what is more important: movement or bezel/dial? I think changing the movement doesn’t make any sense, right? I am so torn right now
No, dont want to blame or bother him. Everything worked fine and he is very helpful. Will look out for a watchmaker.Sure he said its normal. But what can he do from china?
No need blaming/bothering your TE, here are your packages during shipping, so you see things can get loose:
For me this is the best GMT clean released period! (together with the new Pepsi)
Over time they have released some (stealth) upgrades which improved things such as the crystal, bracelet, bezel rotation, etc. Feels really good
Gone are the days of xtal disortion and milky crystal ring.

My watch arrived and I have it on my wrist for one week now.
- Winding is not smooth, my VSF YM 126622 is smooth, silent. My BW sounds like it might break soon. However, timegrapher shows no signs of issues so as long as it’s running, I’m okay with it. You know this can happen with rep.
- Date window is too bold. Not sure if it’s the mag of the cyclops or just ‘fat print’. It does not look clean and some numbers feel misaligned. But I can only notice when I compare to other watches in my collection.
- Bezel feels smooth but has a lot of free play.
- Clasp issue with the gap (see first page) is there but less noticeable in real use.
Other than that, it looks and feels amazing. It wears a lot bulkier than a YM 40 or Daytona Panda, but I absolutely love the colour and the GMT hand. This complication is just awesome and I have no regrets I’ve bought it.
Here are some pics for you to enjoy. If you have any questions, let me know. More than happy to help.

Excellent post and thread. Many thanks to C Time and others for all of the high-res images and for sharing differing viewpoints!
Received mine from M2M….really prefer the Pepsi one, but this is more wearable with a suit….i will try some day, but I think will put it in the market soon, I am not in love with it

Absolute stunning piece. What did you pay in total if I may ask? I am currently thinking about the ARF + polishing + gen bezel, date and maybe also gen crystalI just got this! By @Nikz19

That’s why I still didn’t purchase it as the bezel is from both Clean and ARF not super good…
@CTime do you know if Clean will fix the grey color bezel? V2?
