I’ve posted a want ad here on RWI for a Clean 40 and have been contacted more than once with offers of the VSF 40.

I really like my Clean 39 - and it’s been beside a BP 39 which it had beaten on all counts.

Is there anyone out there with both a Clean 40 and a VSF 40 who can show us that our faith in the Clean is fully justified?

I ordered both the VSF and Clean about a week ago. QC for Clean came in, waiting on the VSF. I’ll post a full comparison once they arrive!

Could anyone with calipers measure the exact lug-lug, thickness, and bezel diameter of the Clean? The VSF I had was both thicker and had larger lug-lug than the gen Exp40 measurements.

Unfortunately hit CNY so I haven’t gotten the second set of QCs. I’m guessing it’ll be a couple weeks. I have calipers so will share measurements in the review

Please dear people...we are waiting for 224270 Clean vs VSF comparison. Which is closer to gen; dimensions, proportions, fit and finish, feeling of quality, crystal, bracelet, dial details...which is visual closer to gen?? Movement is not important. We know that difference...
