Clean no date sub 114060 + DD3130 movement limited edition for forum members

[SS72]

Lots of conjecture here. The 19mm bracelet for the Explorer is not the same as the bracelets on the Sub, which have never had this issue.

It started with a photo of a gen Sub link construction and a request addressed to @CTime to do a show and tell of bracelet constructions.

I then pointed out what I think the picture above shows. Keen to see other pics and hear what others know, so thank you.

Oh I know, I'm just saying, unless we have definitive pictures of the Clean/ARF bracelet disassembled then we cannot assyme.

At least the links don't have a blue or brownish tint, or no tint at all. Then we'd really be in the

here we are, it has arrived and I am pleased with the cristal and finish!

I thoroughly checked the movement, cleaned any residues of metal work and waterproofed it. The watch is well machined with good tolerances and feedback, only minor grittiness in the glidelock (on my VSF S19 was a lot smoother and better IMHO).

note: the movement gold lettering colour is perfect, however it it is not applied properly and is a bit smudged. Secondly the base plate has no serial number engraved like gen, all this was expected as per CTIME photos. The movement feels great like any VSF of course

Enough words, here some photos:

forgot the obliged timegrapher photo, Thanks CTIME & RWI!



Amplitude now stabilised at 299deg / 4 sec/day

I will post a review of the watch in the following days, comparing it to the VSF S19 i sold.

Nice watch, mate.

I’m just pointing out my experience with the only clean bracelet I’ve ever had. I bought my first rep nearly 10 years ago and have had a lot of rep oyster bracelets, never have I seen this. It’s just odd

Thank you! Got inspired, I tried not it be just a representation, but to convey a feeling or emotions

Is this the same movement that VSF used in their no date submariner? Has anyone compared the two? This movement doesn’t look like the other Dandong movements in the 32xx series. Whoever produced this movement is using a totally different shock absorber setup that looks nothing like Dandong 3235 or 3285 which looks like gen. I’m waiting on a vsf no date with a 3230 movement and I’ll have something to compare it to then. It’ll be interesting because clean makes a better looking rep

It is a 3130 Movement mate..... why do you compare it to the 3230 movement? Looks different....

Maybe he is mixing up the difference between 114060 and 124060 lol
