[CTime]

Hi friend,
Long time no see

We will have few new models releasing from Clean recently, remember to check them out later.



See you very soon,

Ctime

Well, this is incredible and precisely what I was waiting for. I will defer to those with more experience, but this might be NWBIG for me now.
Price/Release @CTime ?

Thank you for always keeping us up to date on what Clean is releasing with hi res pics compared to gen.

Thanks @CTime ! Very interesting comparison, the differences are very minor and invisible irl. The hands may be the biggest one, but again, barely noticeable irl and then only with a gen to compare to

Dangit now I've seen the hand differences I cannot unsee it.

I won't say anything about font thickness then....

Very nice overall, CLEAN and @CTime do it again!

Great job @CTime. Great watch but some obvious flaws. Font thickness and middle axis needs to be addressed. That’s a no…

Come on, that's literally smaller than 0,3 mm.

No mate. This will be visually obvious. I got the gen and the first thing I did was to check if it’s visible or not. Just because something is small doesn’t mean we have to leave it out. We are here to discuss so we can improve things right?

 

[patek_with_sellita]

Same with the lollipop seconds hand (to small on clean).

 

[Feefo]

Sorry, but "visually obvious" is hyperbole. You will not be able to see that at normal watch-reading distance. Unless you're very shortsighted and you have to look at the watch from 20-30cm. This is a rep that costs a fraction of gen. Let's be real.
Better proportions for the hands, all of them, not just the lollipop seconds hand, go for it, but the pivot is not visually obvious.

 

[KJ2020]

The gen hour hand length and obnoxiously pointy tip is a much bigger tell than the second hand IMO. I daresay I like the CLEAN hour hand better. It looks like Rolex overcompensated for the larger model, it's not like they don't goof on these decisions now and then. Who can forget the silly shorty hand set they debuted the 39mm 214270 with?

Frankly, these minor differences don’t bother me in the slightest as the overall quality is excellent.

if the errors were due to poor workmanship or bad finishing I might chime In, but I think Clean has done a great job.

just my humble opinion, of course!

Some people are never happy, even when they pay 15 times less for something they don't have to wait a year or two to get.

This with gen hands and crystal awesome pictures.
