I wonder if Clean will sell that insert by itself. I doubt it. But it's better than Xing's by a mile. First of all, no speed bump at the 6. Additionally, there's no problem with the 1 and 8 in 18 having different "shades". And the platinum finishing of the bezel numbers is significantly better. It's cleaner, smoother, and less "jagged" and "sputtery" compared to Xing.

A mile? Relax guy it doesn't help to slam a supporting vendors products with all kind of misinformation. The latest v5 of the Xing bezel has literally none of those issues. You might be remembering things from earlier versions but writing a book about them at this point in time doesn't help the community nor the vendors that are continuing to improve products. If you don't like a product just move on don't create false issues at every opportunity.
This is one of the latest bezels which also has passed UV tests since earlier versions.

Speed bumps? no
Different shales? no
platinum significantly better? no
Cleaner? lol
Smoother? Do you have one?
Jagged? no
Sputtery? no

I have the xing v5 bezel on my dd3285 blro and its almost flawless. The bezel is literally a HAIR too thick which is IMPERCEPTIBLE unless youre looking for it extremely closely…speed bumps are pretty much non-existent, and the color is sublime with good transitions (a difference in brightness on the “18” bezel numerals may exist with the “8” appearing slightly darker in certain lighting conditions but ive never noticed it when wearing it, ever). The Xing v5 bezel is a great effort and no one should just slander it, and the company’s work without proper justification. They did the uv light thing a while back too. If i were to choose again right now, id still go with xing v5, but in all honesty wouldnt bother putting in extra $$$s into the watch anymore given clean’s v2 improvements.

Let’s not turn this into a sales add of the Xing bezel, but focus on info on this new very exiting release.

This is in my opinion an absolute game changer if it’s really as good as the pics, and would eliminate the need to change out the inlay on a stock Clean.

But as alway, let’s wait for QC pics, and people actually having this on hand before we jump to conclusions :) I myself will order one, and do a comparison between the V1 & v2

Interesting, but I guess still seems like a noticeable difference vs gen when head-to-head

Has there been any other updates aside from the bezel? I noticed that Clean gmt serial numbers usually end with Y2L3, but this doesn’t appear to be the case with V2. Maybe it’s the same case with a different serial number? Or has there been changes to the case as well?

If you're looking to just upgrade your bezel, I just asked Ctime and the V2 bezel at this moment is going for $218.

About half the price of the entire watch... makes sense;)

Anyway great release and nice that they seem to have fixed the orange/brown issue on the red
