Clean v2 Pepsi vs v3 Pepsi

[Jimbothegreat]

I have seen some people claiming to have bought the new CF Pepsi v3. Is it TD’s claiming that they are selling v3? I have connections in the Chinese domestic watch market and from what I know Clean hasn’t released the v3 yet because they are trying to get rid of v2’s. Also it would be easy to lie and claim v2’s as v3’s since the difference is so subtle. I had a little back and forth with a person who didn’t seem very bright and he sent me this bullshit comparison claiming the Pepsi on the right is a clean v3



Whereas a true comparison would be this:

Even the lower photos are not good enough for comparison, they need to set the hands at a better position and better resolution of the photos.

Sure, but the main difference is the bezel color which I am trying to point out. It’s very easy to sell a v2 as v3 and seems like sellers are doing that.

I’m possibly in the market for one but I guess I better wait for when the v3 is out for sure.

So the serial number is no indication for the correct V3?

I understand your point. If the colour is the only problem, yes. Unfortunately, it is not. The scale between 3 watches is not right either.

From what I’ve been told so far from the Chinese market, no. Only difference is the bezel’s red color but it’s not easy to tell. Best way to tell would be using a UV light as it is more reactive than the v2. We will know more when it is actually released but people are being sold false v3’s.

I’m hoping it will be ready by summer

I’m hoping it will be ready by summer

2-3 more weeks hopefully

 

[Q8i]

Just trying to understand... is there something wrong with the V2?

 

[Kerbus]

I should get excited then if it’s only going to be a few weeks!

So I'm in QC right now. I ordered L6V6 V3 and was promised that.

Today I received the QC.





It's a Y2L3. Can it still be a "V3" with the latest bezel insert?

Isn't there a whole thread that have people posting their V3 inserts? I ordered from Ctime and was given a v3 and it looks nothing like a V1 or V2 to me.

Is there any chance you can link me that thread? From what my eyes can tell my picture posted above the red looks a tad lighter.

 

[Kerbus]

Hmm..so it’s true that v3 is available for purchase right now?

 

[Jimbothegreat]

That’s weird because I read a comment made by a redditor 1 hour ago about how they are still waiting for their v3 and was told by CTime it will be few more weeks. Even if people are buying it and the bezel color IS actually different, my guess would be that maybe a different bezel is being installed. I find it hard to believe than only one TD can get their hands on the v3. These watches are not that hard to find in Guangzhou.

 

[Jimbothegreat]

Also does CTime provide pictures of the movement as part of QC?

I know there is a delay on the V3s which is close in color to a V3 but glows red under UV light like gen. I ordered one from CTime but was told it would be 3-4 weeks for QC.

Clean GMT-II Pepsi updated bezel insert V2/V2s review and comparison

The steelinox inscription is also incorrect, it's written separately. I don't understand why they can't pay attention to such a small detail when making a replica that's almost perfect. I’m ok with this. No one is going to look underneath my clasp.

I would imagine that there would be an announcement like in the form of an e-mail from TDs that the newest version is out. I’ll keep monitoring here though to find out for sure.

 

[Jimbothegreat]

Yep. If you’re trying to get a Pepsi v3 just wait. Don’t jump on it as soon as someone says they have v3 Pepsi for sale by CF.
