Photos are for model reference only, so let's see if Clean's new model is as good as ever,

Following this trend, Clean has basically covered most of the Rolex lineup, curious to know when Clean will make its way to Daydate.


There is no perfect replica, only the one you prefer.


Thanks.

If these are truly Clean it looks like they're suffering the sample problem GMF had at one point with thicker than usual crowns.

Gen as example;

My first thing was the bezel engravings look too thick? Or am I tripping on that

If that pic above is really CF, the the bezel is shit. The horizontals in all the numbers should ‘arc’ around the dial, not be straight and just placed at an angle like that. Also the position of the numbers is out, most notably on the 12 at 6 - the vertical line from the 12 to 6 marker should bisect the 2, not fall between the 1 and 2. Fail.

Bezel is ass.
Yeah I'm disappointed. Clean usually is good about those fine details but this one is haphazard. Lets hope those are just prototypes. Right now GMF is still better....

Need to see one in the flesh really be nice if some gen parts could be easily added!

Would hope if Clean made a Daydate they do the 36mm line up and some rerto 36mm 1182 range with the wegith add on the bracelet and head, they would clean up the market, as you could go new model or older model that is more believeable on most wrists.

Even better if they also offered a premium grade option of actual full gold bracelets (seen a few just bracelets for sale around a couple of grand, it wouldnt take too much to to turn one of those into a proper president bracelet.)

Looking at the new pictures it’s either a tad thicker or it’s the strong black color.

The faults I see

Crown is from a sub, far too thick
Hour marker rings have a curved top edge the gen is flat
GMT hand is domed where the paint is higher along the centre and thinner towards the edges, the gen is the same level
Crystal just can put my finger on it but really not that bad
Bezel numbers look too thick under close inspection (but at a distance not all that bad) I think its perhaps more the numbers have less clarity on the outer edges like bleeding or blurring, not actually as bad I had first througt.
Minute markers not quite as thick as the gen but not all that bad or noticeable by eye.
Case and bracelet look to be pretty good.
Rehaut could be polished a little more as the gen reflects the minute markers the rep less so but not all that bad.

Otherwise pretty good, the biggest tell at a glance to a gen are the top 3 ive listed these, often the GMT over the years has changed the rings on the markers from flat to ones with a slight bevel/curve on the top edge, so perhaps not all important as long as it is correct fo rthe age of the watch.

I do like these but are equally hard to come by in the gen world as the panda daytona. Pepsi is still like rocking horse sh*t but the prices on the grey have dropped a fair bti now and haggling down is now possible as people look to minimise loss. So sporting a Pepsi these days is not as unbelievable as it once was same as the BLNR, the Panda Daytona and this Explorer 2 are still hard to come buy, the Explorer being less sought after but equally as cool looking! If only RO had made the bezel like the GMT and made it from a satin ceramic in white and used the number infill with the same black superlume they used on the older YG white faced YatchMaster its would be even more awesome than the panda!
