[Bobi01]

V3 have darker bezel than v3s as far as i know

And polishing is also different, but for my eyes there is no really noticable difference on the wrist compared to V2...V2 is totally different imo

 

[Bobi01]

my last order

V3 or v3s?

 

[FRANCKD]

I think V3.

Is it typical for these V3s to have rehaut alignment issues? I know the crown alignment for the rehaut isn't an issue because even gens have misaligned crowns at the 12 mark on the rehaut. I'm talking about the rehaut on this near the 10-15 and 45-55 minute markers. It's mostly the O's it seems.

In my QCs, I don't really care about any rehaut alignment except for the crown. Everything else from 1-59 does not matter much to me. But I think rehaut being off is common amongst the GMTs

Had v2,v3,v3s. Crystal is the same v3 and v3s (better than v2, but far from vsf).

is a replacement for deep xtal still needed or does it no longer make sense?

Don't know, I changed all my crystals for deep on my dj.

I think the only acceptable option is gen if you want to change it.

Just buy one if you want a pepsi... don't overthink it like with submariner

Thanks for your correct answer! Well, I want to order from TrustyTime, but all hé said is that I'll get what I order from his website, but he doesn't know if it's a v3 or v3s. Frankly, there's a CF for 608 euros and a new insert for 658 euros. I'm a bit concerned about what I'll get, whether it's really the latest version or something from an "older stock"...

I talked to Ctime, and they were fair. They mentioned that they only have the V3 and not the V3s, but there isn't a big difference between them. Unfortunately, the "Steelinox" inscription on the clasp is separate, but maybe next week they'll have a new shipment where it's integrated. Hopefully, the "6" on the rehaut will be correct. I'll also ask them if they can provide a picture of the movement in the QC photos because not every TD wants to open the watch.

There are TDs and TDs. Some examples:

- Trustytime has a very large archive of Reps, and doesnt delete the ones that arent produced anymore
- CTime has got instant access and good network to CLEAN Factory and Parts on the market
- TheoneWatches provide pictures of the Movement on QC, they open up every watch for EXACT THIS REASON
- Andiot is contactable even during CNY and ships out his stock what he has gattered for CNY.

So you see, every TD has pros and conts.

I remember when @trailboss99 reviewed the first sample of DD3285 here, believe it was a BLNR.
He seemed quite happy with that watch. How many versions will there be for things like a single rehaut engraving digit font, a hue of color shade, or something you can nitpick on 100x makeo 8k pix?

Well, you know, if it's possible, I'd rather order one where the inscriptions are correct. In that regard, even a Ro Lex could be fine.

Just approved QC. Was told Clean is back to using L6V6 case with V3 bezel.

Great post. I have the V2 and I'd be insane to sell it chasing the V3. Completely unnecessary

The steelinox inscription is also incorrect, it's written separately. I don't understand why they can't pay attention to such a small detail when making a replica that's almost perfect.

I can explain.
Its not them. Its the (in this case) bracelet supplier. When you order 5k units, you cant just change, you have tonise all the ordered parts.
And they wanna make money, they arent watchnerda like us primary. Fixing such issues are just a way to more customers, so why build a ultimate rep at v1? Would be really dumb for making money
