Clean new GMT with DD3285 QC pics and video release [finally]

[CTime]

This one exploded after 5 bar. A second identical one fails at 1 bar.

No much reps can survive 3 bar... That's why we don't recommend to take your rep to any place with diving into water. After we upgrade the waterproof it can barely survive 2-3 bar. Without the treatment, it can only live with daily life waterproof. I will soon do another post about this . Do you want to send the watch back to repair it?

Nice! seems as if only 126710 BLRO Pepsi's on oyster bracelets have been delivered since the new movement was released.

I have not seen any 126710 BLNR with DD3285 on oyster bracelets yet, only jubilee.

Hey, both bracelets are available ( but next batch would be in a week )

I pressure test dozens of rep watches successfully to 10 bar, but CF GMT is very well known to us watchmakers for leaking.

I would very much appreciate replacement dial and hands if you will send them but I won’t risk mailing it back to China.

How about the lefty version? As that uses a different crystal etc?

Hi,

The Sprite I ordered from Ctime is on oyster bracelet.

It's not the crystal, it's the crystal gasket and retaining ring which would be identical in dimensions and quality on all the CLEAN GMTs.

Guessing, or you have seen the lefty first hand?

I just got my sprite lefty on jubilee. Dial is horrible looks warped in certain angles. Tried winding the watch and after a few revolutions it ceased to wind so hit and miss. I purchased a C+ factory BRLO and the quality far surpasses the clean! The crystal, dial and winding is superb. I fell for the hype and honestly no amount of power reserve is worth poor quality and slapped together watch. I’ll post some pics later. I reached out to CTime but I’m sure my options are limited and not willing to send it back to China. What a disappointment!

Did you not have QC pics and vid of the watch?

I did but none of the photos or video would identify winding issue or capture the dial

 

[Mickey Padge]

Zoom in some more? Can't see the atoms clearly!

Have not held one in hand but it's the same case just turned upside down with rehaut engraving rotated.

Is the sprite lefty the DD3285?

What movement is in the C+ BLRO? is it DD3186 or SH3186?

I use my eyes and ears and am excited if something great happens in the future

The sprite lefty is DD3285 from clean.
C+ is the SH3186 modified. Of course this is what I read from KJ2020. If I’m wrong I’m sure KJ or other can clarify.

Radical. Thanks for sharing! How is your experience with the build quality and movement?

I’m new here. Your post on the GMT bezel mod was the first thread I saved for future ref. thanks for making that.

The movement itself is great. Power reserve is great, as known on DD3235 already. I have the feeling there is no winding issue anymore that was common on the VS 3235 base movements. The rotorscrew was broken on arrival but that was a shipping problem, happens i guess

When you go for a GMT the CF is the watch to go. Small mods and you got a NWBIG watch.

Thanks for the probs, appreciate it.
