Clean GMT-II Pepsi updated bezel insert V2/V2s review and comparison

[John Blutarski]

Beautiful piece. I’ve debated on buying a V2 vs waiting on a V3 but this thread has me wondering if it’s worth it. I think you’ve made my mind up.

How did you manage to remove the old insert without removing the bezel?

This watch was bought from another member without a bezel insert .

This is interesting

I see it’s an alignment of the bezel disc.
Not sure if they replaced the insert.
The UV results are quite interesting indeed as the rep world has been chasing the proper UV color reaction for awhile.

Can you guys tell if this is a v2 or a v3 bezel, i've been looking at the comparison for like 45 minutes and cannot tell.

Supposedly the durability of the movement is good is something I’ve established from reading comments here, is this movement noisy though? My final question before I pull the trigger.

How is movement noisy? You mean if you put it close to your ear? If yes that's not how you going to wear it, it will be in your wrist. Why would that matter ?

New arrival! v3 from CTime, it also reacts perfectly to UV even the blue part turns red. really a big upgrade compared to v1 two years ago!

It does turn red

I’m also a DD3285 fan.
These clone movements are leaps and bounds better than just a few years ago.
Now being able to use many Gen parts in the movement is incredible and thus the GMT functions just like a Gen.
The out-of-box accuracy and power reserve are impressive.
The only negative is the noisy rotor bearing but with a bit of effort you can quiet it down slightly.

Never hear of noisy rotor
. That little thing you can hear while walking around??

I got a watch from C-tima. I bought it as v3 but I think it's v3s because in UV light the whole insert is red

The ceramic bearings in the rotors are noisy.
Not loud but audible compared to previous designs.
Ceramic ball bearings are used to eliminate or reduce the need for lubricant.

Here’s a Clean V3 under UV

Received mine, it's staggering just how big the strides have been especially in the bracelet department, usually when I bought a noob v10 submariner or whatever else rolex rep back in the day, I sold it immediately due to the bracelet being hollow and terrible. This however is very solid and honestly feels genuine. The movement is very quiet too as that was a big concern. Great watch for the money. Really needs a gen crystal though, the cyclops is driving me crazy.

I’ve been thinking about offering to trade my Jubilee for someone’s Oyster if it’s in equivalent excellent condition. I do like the Jubilee quite a lot, but I seldom wear it because it’s a little too glitzy for my usual look. Let me know if you’re interested.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread but I couldn’t find another one on this topic. Anyways, I’m interested in swapping my gmt2 clasp with something like a submariner clasp that has micro adjustments. Is anyone aware of one that has polished center section that would fit on a jubilee?

 

[TagHeuerFan1963]

As many have pointed out the bezel spin is less than ideal in feeling, not genlike, should one ideally not use it at all? I wouldn't want for it to fall off if there is a risk.
