Wait for V3 clean will fix everything, it's a marketing game they want to keep selling.that’s why I don't buy V1.

Idk if they'll release a v2 of this. There isn't anything to fix. Clean doesn't update crystals.
Folks, my advice about this is always : if you can accept the flaws, don't hesitate to buy it. Don't wait for something that may never come.
In the future, maybe sub suppliers will change and worse versions or problems will appear. An example is Clean's Explorer 36mm, which was perfect until 2024 when the dial started to change and now is "worse" than when it first released.
Or how Clean V2 GMT now no longer is made with the beautiful pastel bezel and only V3 is offered.
Clean original V1/early V2 gmt batches had perfect font and dial and case and in V3 they switched to thinner font and worse case construction.
So waiting for other versions is almost not a guaranteed "better" watch.
For me this is almost a perfect first release, only the crystal is weak. No point to wait

The crystal is the biggest flaw and Clean has never given a damn about that kind of upgrade.
Maybe VSF makes one but they’re gonna be borrowing from Clean anyways as we’ve seen with the Pepsi.
The days of needing to wait til Version 69 are long gone. You guys snipe harder than some authenticators.
Maybe clean have shares in deep crystal factory 
on point for vsf vs deep. But to swap for deep I would consider gen or just accept the stock personally. 6 is too many!
Any tutorials on how the YM bezel and crystal to be removed? Or is it the same way as the Subs?
Got mine today. Nice, light watch. Bigger then expected tho.
This! there's no guarantee later versions will be 'better' than original versions. Especially with Clean lol
Perfect size from this picGot mine today. Nice, light watch. Bigger then expected tho.
Here are some comparison shots for the size. It feels bigger coming from a GMT-Master then from a sub.
Looks good on you. The lugs don’t even reach the ends of your wrist. Totally fits!
Just do what I did recently and wear a Panerai for a couple of days then go to the YM… it’ll look downright small. All about perspective.
Just trying to understand, why would you wait for a VSF version that we haven’t heard any rumors that they’re making, if there’s a quite good version and batch already out from Clean? The Clean stock crystal is that much of a dealbreaker?
I'm a VSF fan and typically prefer their movements for sure. Having said as much, is anyone sure VSF will make this model since they dont make the 226659 (WG/RU)? Let me re-phrase that to I don't think they do unless the version produced by TEDF is actually a VSF in sheep's clothing? It does have the VS3235 movement which I thought was exclusive to VSF. VSF does make the 226658 (YG/RU) so them again maybe this 226627 is coming, too?
My limited experience is the SH3235 and DD3235 are hit or miss and the VR3235 is definitely inferior to the VS3235 (VSF exclusive I believe). SO assuming VSF is on par with Clean, relative to price and finish, with potential for a better crystal and better movement then it would be a worthwhile proposition to wait...until it isn't
Thank you all for the information and feedbacks about the size/wrist comparative photos. I'm still not sure, yes it is thinner but still on the bigger size for my wrist I think. (Maybe I'm just looking for a reason to not buy, usually I did the opposite ) The GMT's are just on the right size for me and when I checked the photos here on the wrists and compared to other watches (thanks for sharing), I'm a bit confused :/, I think I need time...

I impatiently await mine. Clean is a top tier maker. I see no reason to wait and hope VSF makes one, and if they do, that the improvements over clean will be worth the wait. I agree with others on the VS movement being the best, but the VR is a solid movement and I have nothing bad to say about the ones I own. The only possible thing I see is the crystal, which based on my clean GMT vs VSF sub will most likely be good but slightly worse then then VSF if we are nit picking them side by side comparing. This again is assuming that VSF will even come out with one, which as of now there is no indication of. The incremental improvement in cyclops black hole is not worth the cost of swapping the crystal in my personal opinion for other clean models I've handled in person. We shall see once this arrives. If the cyclops black hole is bad, I have no problem swapping the crystal, but I to not anticipate this from the pictures I've see and discussion I've read.
