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

[aHero]

Which dry lube specifically? For bikes, which brand? Or is it PTFE spray?

I use the 50ml bottle and I’ve never had any issues

Muc Off Dry Lube (50-ml) https://a.co/d/isxhzlc

A little goes a long way. I just put a drop at every joint and move the bracelet around to work it in, then rinse it under the sink and dry. It’s a very quick process.

Which version do you recommend at the moment? Or should I wait for more reviews? I don't need the watch urgently

TD said he will deliver the latest one. So I will ask for the version I would like to get.

All the nitpicking... it´s a fun read, but some of you boys should have been here 7 years ago when reps were really shitty, I would pay to see your faces lol

I am one of those guys last rep bought more than 5 years ago. So I´m excited about the arrival of V2 or V2S - whatever will come

Sadly no, but there are threads in the forum related to that kind of reps, some cheap, some other old and early pieces. Like a damn museum

I was always reticent to get a Pepsi because the bezel insert was sooo lacking, even though it was one of my grail watches... nowadays they are damn near perfect!

Left: Clean V2. Middle Xing V5. Righr Xing V4 platinum modded by @ussdassein. IRL the CF V2 and Xing V5 are extremely similar

 

[big_polarbear]

This time, I took out the xing V4, and replaced it with the older insert I got from my C+. So left CF V2, middle xing v5, right the older V1 version common to both CF and C+:

Would that insert correspond to CF v2s?

If anything the gen lip seems a touch more rounded

Gen is definitely not flat for sure in my eyes

Yours is gen 116710LN bezel. I have done the bezel mod on the same one. There’s no lip on it, as you said the surface is not flat. There’s a lip only on the BLRO; not on the BLNR, LN, CHNR, seven up, etc

@big_polarbear can you advise if this is CF V2? It looks V1 to me despite last serial digits of L6V6?
