Hi members!

After months of hard working, Clean has finally brought us this updated/color-corrected Pepsi bezel with red tone under UV light.




The most obvious update must be the red part of the insert, we used to consider Clean’s V1 insert a bit too red than gen, it’s because Clean only improved the polishing and fillers from old Noob factory back then. Now the V2 has improved the color, it’s slightly pinky, and will turn red under UV light. The triangle on the 12’o get rounder corners, and the future dial markers will be more polished.

About V2s, it was a test version, the color under normal light is not as close to gen as the V2, but the glow effect is much stronger than V2. This version could be a bit more expensive than normal V2, I don’t think it’s necessary to pay more just for the UV light though.

And we have Pepsi comparisons of different bezel version:



The Pepsi V1 bezel are all sold out now, the new batch will arrive in a week and all the after will be updated.

See you soon,

Ctime
thank you ! amazing this V2.

No dealer will send QC without money, whether or a deposit or full payment

If you have bought a few watches and stick to a dealer its possible, had this on two dealers. Even shipped before paying, all on trust. But sure its not standart:)

sorry was hoping for some thought on these QC pics. It’s my first order from a TD actually. I became a member a while ago but never got going, only very recently. Please disregard if not not the right venue!

I'm wearing my V3s since a little over a week now, i couldn't be more happy with it.
Bezel Lip, the Bezel itself, clicking, rotation, no wiggle.. It's top notch OOTB.

It looks like Clean has lightened the red in the new V3s, now it's too bright compared to the gen

This is V3S last week




This is V3 2 weeks ago




The blue color is the differentiator for me. Idk Mark but the image you showed the blue is very red/purple, V3 and V3S bezel isn't like that. Just my 2 cents

The last batch photo you show, the blue is not blue, its purple.

I check latest V3 bezel QCs as seen above, not purple

They better fix the wrong shape of the date window, it needs sharp corners. The date disc font shape and size also need improvement. Once that’s sorted, all you need is a gen crystal to make it as close to NWBIG as possible while still keeping it cheap, in the few-hundred-bucks range and and not going franken dropping thousands on it

Same dial. They haven't fixed it I suppose.
