Clean new 126529LN 'Le Mans' release [actual photos]

[Reaps]

When we are getting to this level of zoom these flaws are pointless. It's just picky for pickyness sake. Noone has done the same analysis for QF.

Trade off between better subdial printing, marker finish and coronet finish versus a subdial step and maybe the print extends 0.00001mm into the edge. Which one is more important? Only you can decide. For me I'll take Clean.

Bezel between the two looks the same so idk why QF is better. They're both same, a little deep and close to the edge.

Regarding subdial concentric rings on QF - I think this is pre v8, v8 QC seems to have fixed this, hard to say without macro photos.

QF has the edge on the tungsten variant for sure. Between the non tungsten variant only members can decide which one they like better.

Pulled these from Reddit but looks like dealers are starting to get these in stock

Try again

From naked eye, it seems to me that the real problem of CF is the font too thin. I hope I'm wrong...

You mean too thick? Top if CF bottom is gen

Excuse me, I wrote thin instead thick.

People are getting a bit greedy for font thickness/thin. This is 99% on point with a 300k watch. My eyes are 20/20 and i struggle to see any of this shit with a naked eye.

Ive owned QF and as great as they are, i Prefer the quality of Clean as all my daytonas are Clean base and excellent watches. Give me a better quality bracelet and movement and let the factory put whatever thick/thin subdial font they want.

Wonder if it's worth swapping Clean heads on a QF band?

Mine is already plated and would need the case plated if so. Would be nice to have the 24hr feature, but definitely not a big deal. All just thoughts as I window shop.

Imho chasing every latest version will make you go broke fast, enjoy the QF, probably no real super deal breaker tangible benefit to go Clean if you have a plated tungsten QF

Agreed. If you keep up with the latest version you can piece together a masterpiece. Just a thought. Would be cool though.

Wear QF until it breaks and then consider the next upgrade ! Or you see something like a really good deal on M2M then jump on it, that's probably the best way. But no need to jump on it

I have as well - but I pre-ordered almost immediately after this post went up

 

[scarface1926]

Thank you for the response, I also received my QCs today.

There are two claims made by Susan Reviews, a non TD reviewer about this CF.

1) Not a real 24hr movement
2) No sunburst

The lack of sunburst would be upsetting and also very surprising from clean. You’d think after watching QF go through their iterations and improvements for the last year that clean would know what consumers are looking for and nail it. The original sample watch that CTime posted seemed to have sunburst, then again all of the photos I’ve seen since then are taken with indoor lighting, so hard to tell

That's why I'm doubtful. CTime has shown an example of sunburst here and also assured that it's a 24hr movement.

So I will wait for those who get it in hand to see what's the actual deal.
