Wow - what an awesome write-up! As always, I may want to add!

Do we know what dial versions Clean is planning on releasing in this V1 case? I mean, the black and white stainless models are definitely a highlight, but we NEED MORE... ;)

Thank you for the comparison @CTime

Clean did a decent job, but there are a few key details they need to improve upon.

On the black dial, the subdial ring color is off.
On the panda dial, the hue of white is off. Rep is too cool.
Bezel engravings are too deep compared to gen. I like how gen engravings are less recessed now. Easier cleaning.

That's pretty good for a v1, but the case shape is a big thing to not have right though

Case it's perfect!
Insert engravings are too deep.
Dial indexes they need to be more rounded. Usual cold white color of all panda reps. But a really good job was done on the case and bracelet

Thanks so much for the review @CTime

A real shame that CF never used this opportunity to do a white dial properly. That’s a huge problem on an otherwise great watch.

With the exception of the depth of ceramic engraving, I think these are pretty much as close as a rep can be. The pushers look a fraction long on the black dial, but white looks fine.

There is no such thing as a 1:1 Replica!

Need more careful pics but it might be because the crown is touching the rehaut. A small tell but Clean at least nailed it 85% on the first try. Shame about the white dial

As @CTime told , the white color different is a hell less in real life , i think it depends od the lightning , maybe the material the rolex use is different idk but much less difference in natural lights

And here in these pictures you can see the crown isn't being distorted. Great

It is the crystal edge is too soft on the clean, i know what is the issue… so the softness reflects the printing on the dial

Clean with the blue hue once again. Very strange

I would rather say it is more white this time, not blue at all
In my opinion this time is more like btf color, not darker but brighter this time
It looks like it is hard to replicate 1:1 color with gen, maybe the material is the reason
