Wow I'm one of those who is in line to buy a Pepsi from CTime, now all we needed was this post to cast even more doubts and uncertainties on whether we can really have a v3 :unsure:

Seller stated in the listing that he is not sure if it’s a v1 or v2.

Hey guys forgive the dumb question but I'm looking for this exact watch, and would prefer to get the finest one I can. I'm just starting my research but is the Clean considered one of the best? I think that if it broke I'd probably have to toss it, so longevity means something. I have a lot of OG Rolex but I'm traveling and don't want a security risk.

Sorry for the newbie questions

I know there is a thread around for this. There is a V3 and when I try to explain this, its going to get even more confusing lol.

The Pepsi mvmt is much improved on the newer models with efficiency, power reserve, and stability. The last 3 months have been crazy from Clean in terms of the Insert. Each insert represents the best we could have hoped for. V1 has been out for a while and looks like MKIII but doesn’t glow under a black light and has some brownish in the red. Not great. V2 was much better. V3 came out and it was like an MKII with the purplish/pinkish insert that glowed. That is correct for a MKII. And many (including myself) jumped on that train. I bought one at the beginning of Dec. Then… in the middle to end of Dec they launched the V3 with V3 (V2S) insert and that has the MKIII look of perfection (Darker blue more red). Its basically a 2022 model with the darker tones that glow under the black light. I bought that too and compared them in my hands. I sold the pinkish V3 a couple of weeks ago and kept the newer V3 (more red and blue) so I could put a Met dial in it to resemble the 2022 model before they discontinued it.

The old ones have shorter hands. The newer V2/V3 has fixed that, and the correct length is there. The newer ones are great upgrades. Just depends on what color you like more. More MKII or MKIII

And what about the xing bezels? I ve read all lot of people pros and lot of people cons… color looks really good, but the platinum on the triangle has texture and clean are flat. David told me that the gen has texture. Anyone can confirm?

So if the only real difference is the Bezel insert then would it not just be easier to fit a gen bezel insert? Problems solved, if the movement is meant to be better then fair enough but has anyone actually benched both movements for testing? And if being worn most of the time does power reserve matter all that much?

Sorry I'm lol'ing, but... Uhhhm, yeah, well... in theory: problem solved.

New problems: How to allocate the 3 million Dollars a Pepsi bezel insert costs? And where to get one? They're rarer than a rainbow-colored Unicorn with zebra stripes and a beer-bong-hat...

Id tend to agree but there are peops on here selling Frankens that apparently have gen bezels so not all that out of the question. and not all that expensive judging by the prices, maybe a bit of wait yes but maybe the same time as waiting for a V3 replicated version, I kinda wasnt worrying about the logistics.😉
