Nice response from CLEAN in updating the hands to the new 40mm sizes.

Previously CLEAN had just carried over the hands from the 214270 mk2 Explorer.

Thanks for this. I own and love the Clean 36mm and 39mm Explorers, now I have to decide if the 40mm is a better rep than the 39mm.

Of course, at this point, owning (3) $500 reps or just taking the plunge on a used gen for ~$5000 become a consideration, lol.

Congratulazioni Clean per il lavoro svolto. Grazie @CTime per l'aggiornamento.

the struggle is real

Awesome!
Do i finally see a proper double-engraved rehaut? Only about ten years after Rolex stopped doing that, but hey - it looks nice

Can you do a comparison with the new VSF 224270 with the correct-sized crown?

If the provanance of owning the gen is more than having a variety of watches, then get the gen!

Also imho I think my philosphy now is I only buy gens of watches that are poorly replicated or no rep. Precious metal, grand seiko, speedmaster, etc. These steel 3 hander Rolexes are at the top of the NWBIG list imho.

Personally after having experienced 50+ replicas, I know I am not a 1-3 watch guy. Call it undisciplined call it consumerism but I prefer having a variety. One day I'm feeling my 36mm Clean Explorer, the other my Seadweller 43, one day I feel dressy so 5712, some days I feel lazy so it's my BP 214720.

So the new 40mm clean version its super replica?

No doubt about it.

I'm having a bit of a struggle deciding between this and the VSF...

Go with the one with a better price. Both factories look the same to me

 

[phoibos12]

I think clean factory its better version.... today i make a try for 40mm clean version...

 

[Therion666]

Meh, prices are more or less the same I've had better experience with VSF so far, except for the Daytona, Clean takes the cake for that.

I think I've read somewhere that the movement in the VSF is superior, is that the case?

I had the VSF ordered some time ago, but SELs were all over the place and the triangle marker at 12 was misaligned like a bastard, so I decided to go for another watch.

I don't feel like taking one for the team, so I'll sit and wait, nice and cozy for first early adopter pics

 

[phoibos12]

I make one try for 40mm...i hope not sell it in 3 days

That's what I always do...it feels great not to be the only one stuck in this hamster wheel

I had the same doubt but finally I decided for VSF, the clear crystal was decisive, I am waiting for the parcel to arrive

 

[derjenigewelcher]

Fuck, I even struffle with my inner fewlings even if I have a gen 2012 Explorer 1.... whats wrong with me?
