You do you. If it bothers you then you can wait and source whatever you think you can get. No offense but you may wait forever for a perfect version.

You also can't compare Tag and Rolex, Tag is simple and doesnt have many things on a watch to replicate.... Rolex has a billion details that need to be replicated. Tag doesn't even have a rehaut engraving, LEC, etc....

Here's my Clean v1 with a Xing Bezel. Oh no it has the wrong rehaut font.... and absolutely noone has called me out or has it ruined my enjoyment of the watch...


This is my decision! If I can wait, then why not? If a good and reliable TD

promises to get a good watch without any steelinox or rehaut issues, then why not wait? What would you accept as a fault , maybe if it's written as 'Ro-Lex' instead? 😊 It's your decision, not mine! I'm not trying to convince you of anything. Enjoy your watch, and if I find one that satisfies me, I'll do the same, just like with Tag Heuer

My understanding is that the v3 isn’t necessarily available right at this moment. I’m going to wait for some kind of announcement before I consider picking one up. I’m patient.

I think we can all agree the new version colors are nearly perfect, but can anyone comment on the bezel movement? Were there any improvements made from the "mushy" feeling while rotating/absurd amount of grease?

The engraving is barely visible to the naked eye. No one will see it while you're wearing the watch. I frankly have never looked at that on a gen or rep. With all the accuracies they have nailed on the watch, how this become a sticking point ?
Fair enough! Convinced. Still unsure about it being the fastest insert with everyone saying the "V3" comes with L6V6.

Mate, I know some members here contacted @CTime for this one and I guess they told feedback to Clean. But seriously no improvement till now

I guarantee you that if I put my V2 at arm's length and the gen, you'd see no difference. The V2 also glows like the gen. There's a lot of BS being spread by people who just have ant in their pants to get a V3 without even knowing why.

PSA: case serial does not equate to a version number.

V3 comes in Y2L3 and L6V6. Just depends on the batch.

V2 = pastel bezel. Made for a short period of time at the end of last year.

V3= darker colors in person. Looks more saturated in QC photos given the studio lighting.

If you order a Pepsi from a TD now, odds are close to 100% that you’ll get a V3. Serial doesn’t matter.

I just got a V3 and will tell something about the bezel in the GMT bezel thread in a few minutes
