Hey,

I currently have a lead on the lightly used Clean Factory 126710 for ~250€, for a local guy.
I'm still waiting for pictures to verify if it's really a clean factory and no cheapish rep.

But I got 2-3 Questions, is the clean 126710 rep a good rep?
Does it have some specific features I have to check to verify it's from clean and not some other lower brand factory?

Does the clean 126710 rep have some major flaws that differentiate it from a gen from miles away?

I hope you can help a beginner out.

If it is indeed a clean then that is not a bad price depending on condition. The bezel colour and transitions are usually pretty good and for most people they are happy with it out of the box.
I don't know if the case has been corrected as i understand that although the dial was correct for a 12 series GMT but the case was still just an 11 series GMT with updated engravings.

Certainly one you can wear and enjoy though.

Thank you for the information.
Sounds like it's possible to detect a clean factory watch by its case when I get some pictures. That's really good to know.

Have a look through the clean gmt review thread in the rolex section of the forum and take a good look through the pictures and comparisons.

There will be many more opinions and detail of what to look for.

I just received those 2 photos, do they show a clean factory 126710 or just a generic rep?

I see some speedbumps on the 18 and the 6. Clean is supposed to have the best bezel insert and one of the reasons is that there are no speedbumps. I have a clean Pepsi and I cannot see any speedbumps in my bezel.

for me after a lot of comparison, it looks like a first generation CF

Check the bracelets and clasp; there are some engraved codes; They are arguably be possible to be matched with the batch of bracelet that CF generation used.

Y8C should be the correct code for a Clean. That's what mine has.

Also, your serial starts with "736D", which Clean uses.

Received mine a week ago. The date seems a little big indeed, but I don't have s comparison to
Gen at the moment, so I am not shure. Beside that I'm searching the invisible crown since I got it :cool:
