Clean has released Rolex explorer 124270/214270 black dial on ss bracelet

[Reaps]

Question..

Is the movement in the 39mm a new movement or just an engraved 3130?

I believe that a calibre 3132 has different dimensions to a 3130 ?

So apparently the parts maker that makes the 3130 engravings are out of stock so clean is using 3132 engraved plates. But the movement is still the VR3130. @CTime can chip in to answer if you tag him.

It's the VR3130 with a custom engraving job. No real clone of the 3132 out there as the use case is too little to justify new tooling at the movement factory.

Really interested to hear how the bracelet feels on these. I really liked the BP Explorer 39 I had, dial and case was superb, but the bracelet rattled more than I'd like, even after an oil bath.

The 214270 pics

Looks good, real good... I'm very tempted.

I think this is a decent “first” attempt by Clean. Certainly the best 124270 out there atm. I must say, though, I’m disappointed by the winding crown. Very very wrong…

it is a bit fatter indeed.
that's a relatively easy mod though.
the rest of the watch is awesome

Is the crown same as on DJ 36?

Really like the 39mm.

Really like the 39mm.

The 39 is perfect for my wrist size too

I’ve just received my QC photos for the Clean 124270 from Sead, and I have a specific question about the alignment of the 3 and 9, is it acceptable to post a few pics in this thread or do I need to do that in a new thread? Sorry I’m new here

You can post a picture with one specific question, just not all with a general "is this worth accepting" kind of question

 

[Golex]

I hope this is within the rules, below are some of my QC photos for the Clean 124270. My subjective impression is that the 3 appears higher than the 9 in most photos (or otherwise the 3 6 9 looks somehow off), but when I try to examine it I can’t see how it can be. Am I imagining it? I hope I am because I otherwise like the watch. I can’t seem to access the grid tool to check. What do you think of the 3 6 9 indicies alignment?

 

[christo14]

Looks ok to me. The centre of the 9 looks a little 'off' in some pics but that is most probably down to lighting (they are polished steel after all)

 

[Adam_Smith]

IMHO, it is misaligned. The 3 is clearly placed higher than the 9.

guys, just stop
this watch is fine

here is the pic, rotated 2º

I agree. I hold a piece of paper to the screen when assessing alignment and the 3 and 9 are the same height. Just the shape of the middle part of the 9 looks off due to lighting

 

[HomeRye]

Yep, looks good to me too. Tempted tempted tempted….

 

[5ive-Digits-0nly]

Also tempted, although these badly require Gen crystal/gasket and crown… decisions, decisions

 

[dk2852]

I just ordered the 39 from Puretime. I'll share QC photos when I get them.
