Clean has reduced all current Daytona price to get ready for 126xxx models

[CTime]

Hi buddies!
I'm here to bring you some news about our coming product.

The rumor said Clean will use SH4130 in the future 126xxx models, that’s clearly not their plan, in fact, Clean will stop using any 4130 movement soon.

As we talked before, Clean will build 4131 which is the same as Gen for the new 126xxx models.
Clean managed to cooperate with SH(Jinghe)movement factory, they will be doing the polishing, plating, engraving and assembling of the movement. Though the SH4131 is built based on SH4130, Clean has upgraded the power reserve to 75 hours and done a lot improvements, such as reshaping oscillating rotor, upgrading the rotor bearing, rebuilding the auto device bridge, changed the shock absorbing part of the balance wheel...
The problems on older SH4130 will be solved this time(especially the chrono hand zeros wrongly), I will make the comparison post of Gen movement soon in few days for more details.

And for the most concerned part, Clean has reduced the price for 50$ on all the 116xxx models, it's the last stock, there will be no more in the future!

Ctime decided to reduce 70$ on these models for you on the top of our regular discount, and this sale will last until Chinese New Year holidays(5th, Feb, 2024), don’t miss it!

Same.

I’m surprised DD isn’t making a 4131

Me checking my bank before ordering yet more Daytonas:

 

[CTime]

I‘m not sure if I made the correct expression of this part

 

[Temple]

Seems odd to me to effectively ‘discontinue’ the 116 models. I didn’t think people were overly impressed with the design/look of the new 126 models

 

[purplehaze89]

So this will be Shanghai Factory not Dan’s Dong?

The 126529ln is quite nice. Althoudh this will need a 4132 and WG

No you did. The balance is different on 4131 and they redesigned it.

I’m just having such a hard time believing that the 116xxx cash cow product line is being fully discontinued… makes sense given limited production bandwidth but still

 

[THXuk]

Fingers crossed for the 50th-anniversary model. It’s the only one I like out of the new models.

Couldn’t agree with you more buddy!

I still believe it has to do with exclusivity agreement on DD4130.

 

[daytonadude]

So we’re about to get 5 new factories making DD panda dials? Fuck yes.

Ok, these are "just" rumors.

I still believe it has to do with exclusivity agreement on DD4130.

See it like this. If Clean gets an "exclusive" access to the SH4131 they can sell all the newer 12XXXX models.
Ultimately, that's what it's all about. All the 116xxx Gold models and all the models with alternative dials will probably be released in the 126xxx version next year too and we will have to upgrade our entire range ;-)
That's a million-dollar business for Clean. They're already doing it right.
But I still don't believe that their SA4130 models will be discontinued. Then Clean would also have to discontinue the models that are not even available as Gen 126xxx.

Stopped reading at Dan's Dong...

I imagine the SH4131 they helped design might be their exclusive version. Having the DD4130 was a major selling point, and helping SH design the best 4131 would be too.

Losing exclusivity to the 4130 would definitely encourage clean to be forward thinking and make a move on the 4131/12s. 12s will eventually be the best selling reps.
