Clean GMT-II Pepsi updated bezel insert V2/V2s review and comparison
- Thread starter CTime
- Start date
Guys, how do you the bezel is V3/V2/V2s
Do you have a mention somewhere ? Why, because I’ve asked multiple TD and some told me 2XX$, others 90$
And I don’t know

Re: CF GMT II DD3285 - can someone advise on the reliability of the rep and movement?
I know it's not been around that long but I wanted to know:
1) water resistance - can it withstand light rain/handwashing?
2) magnetism - how conscious does one need to be to prevent it becoming magnetized?
3) movement robustness - can I cycle my bike regularly on uneven roads with this on the wrist?

Water resistance in GMTs is iffy. Supposedly they have gotten better but I wouldn’t assume any rep is safe for swimming unless it’s been pressure tested.
Magnetism shouldn’t be an issue. Just stay away from magnets.
DD3285 seems to be a solid movement but keep in mind it’s a cheap Chinese fake and not close to Swiss standards.

@Lolcat9995 - It's a replica watch that's made illegally in "underground" factories and not laboratories. No one can expect Seiko, Omega or Rolex specs. I would think you can wash dishes with it and maybe tread lightly in the ocean or a pool as I have done so with many of my rep watches. But there are no guarantees. I would also like to think you can go mountain biking or off-roading on a motor bike. But I wouldn't play golf with it. I wear a Sub-Date to the gym daily.
Magnetism? Why are you worried about that? Do you work around such machinery? I never even thought about it.

Thanks both. Conclusion:
1) water resistance acceptable for daily activities but do not submerge
2) magnetism - don't think about it (i've only ever owned magnet safe gen so I don't think about it and wanted to know if I should start)
3) cycling - no one knows, probably not worth the risk

I don't see harm in cycling myself, but YMMV.
Every mechanical watch owner should own a demagnetizer and the blue one on amazon is cheap and very popular.

You left out the most important of all: Skiing!
Definitely NO SKIING, cause your rep will be called out no matter how fast you're going.

I think they have started using the font correctly again. By the way, I saw STEELINOX in some QC photos.

Now with the infamous bezel lip mod. Makes all the difference when the light hits it. I wasn’t so excited about a rep since the 4130 movements first came out. Absolutely in love with it and having had the gen, not worth anymore spending tens of thousands on it. NWBG material here.
Example: latest DD3285 CF pepsi with 7035 gen crystal, gen datewheel, gen hands, rebrushing, bezel lip mod.

Clean certainly did a great job on this latest version. My only complaint is the insert should be a bit more glossy. I would change the xtal and date wheel to Gen. No one will call you out on this one.Below compared to Gen Mk4.
Very good insert. It just needs a lip, it's very noticeable side by side.

Seems to be old insertPenso che abbiano ricominciato a usare il carattere correttamente. A proposito, ho visto STEELINOX in alcune foto del controllo qualità.

Yes, I'm aware, but the serial number is from the last batch. Can anyone confirm this? I would feel upset if it was actually corrected.
