Helloooo dear friends,

I am so excited to finally have this model in our hands, it’s stunning! Can’t wait to share this lovely piece with you guys, let’s go!



Firstly, the most thing we care about is the bezel. The grey part is slightly darker than the gen in my opinion, but it’s very hard to see with bare eyes. The transaction parts on 3/9 position are smooth and seamless, really pretty in anyways. One thing caught my eye is that the texture of the bezel markers is different, the corner of the bottom from the engraving is better on Gen.

As for the bezel tooth, I noticed they are from the older version. Do you think it’s better to make them deeper/bigger? I will let Clean know the reviews.

The clasp engraving for this model has all been updated to the 'STEELINOX' without gap in the middle, cheers 🥂

Last but not least, let’s welcome the new technique of jubilee bracelet plating. From what Clean said, this bracelet is the most difficult one to make, because the two-tone jubilee was plated separately for the mid-links and side-links, and after assembling, it could get curling edges/bumping on the bottoms. For the faulty ones, they will be polished and re-plated to full gold model, So the two-tone ones are producing very slow(means there will be a lot shortage of stock).



Hope I state everything clear, Clean really took a lot energy(and money) on this model. We will also make videos for upcoming models, they will be posted in our website/blog page/ since our YT channel has gone for good.


I will see you soon with more comparisons, have a good day!

It's interesting how the rep game is advancing but they still can't get gold to not look like bronze cheddar cheese. Otherwise everything looks solid, just needs replating to fix the color accuracy of the gold.

Every brand or every factory has different color on 18k gold, not to mention the plating factory. I assume it's really hard for the factories to get them right, cuz I never see one correct color from plating 🤔

Another awesome review with great pics, thank you!

Looks very good overall. Cyclops has some edge distortion, arghh. Hope all the rehauts aren't off as much as this one. The crown coronet is way skinny. But ofc we'll have to have one.

Not sure why some still complain about the gold plating. It's really not bad at all and without doing a side by side comparison with a gen, no one will know the difference. And you can always send it out to Flandad for a re-plate if it bothers you that much.

Re-haut is really bad. Bezel needs improvement. The color of "GMT-MASTER II" is still slightly off but looks closer to gen than the 126711. Overall it looks good even if I prefer the 126711.
