Comparison CLEAN FACTORY 126610LN vs. GEN

[hendric]

Jeez I love the tiny details! Well spotted. Both are beauties though. Weighing up Clean and VSF for my, soon to be, first buy in this little world.

Thanks! I like the VSF the most. Because of the crystal. Also, its movement boasts a 72-hour power reserve, which I've personally tested; it stopped precisely after 72 hours. I believe the CF model offers around 40 hours of power reserve. Some users have mentioned experiencing additional resistance and a slight slipping sensation when winding the VSF to its full capacity. My VSF does this as well, but I view it positively—it acts as a clear indicator that the watch is fully wound. So, for me, it's not a bug but a feature
Also, the glidelock clasp on my VSF and CF both needed 1 night in baby oil to get them to slide normally without too much friction.

Great perspective

Otherwise the gen part which fixes this costs about 50 bucks used

Thanks for the comparison of the clean sub, seems that the default answer is always VSF…but clean is a great alternative

ATM bracelet of Clean is better IMO.

Nice work, @derjenigewelcher. Nice watches, too! Thanks for the great contribution.

Those gen hands! Just can't beat 'em.

It's amazing how far reps have come in the last 10 years. Especially the last 2-3. Not just aesthetically, but the movements as well.

RLX had better start lowering their prices instead of increasing. Or pretty soon all FB wristies will be reps instead of the current ~70%.

What do you mean with "pretty soon"?

May I ask which one you feel is the best, also, because I have been looking exhaustively, is the Glidelock on the 12XX a larger size than the 11XX?

ATM bracelet of Clean is better IMO.

May I ask why is that? Did clean improve theirs or the quality of the VSF one has gotten worse?

Hi guys quick question I got a Clean 126610LN with its doggy movement hybrid 3235 and wondered is it possible to just grab vsf126610LN movement and put it into my clean case ? And use clean dial on my vs3235 movement ? Thanks

Also are the vsf126610 in 2024 have their best movement clone ? That can take genuine sub parts ?

The VS3235 can take almost any gen part since day 1 - not only since 2024.
I would stick to VR3235, so out of the box clean watch. The movement is reliable and PR 48 hours is way enough IMO. Also much things are better on Clean: mostly bezel action, then rehaut polish, dial (no floating m), clasp, bracelet - all in one i would go for clean. What you can donia change the xtal you want, i would leave the rest as it is.

Well agree but all I want is get vsf3235 movement slap it in my clean case eave all as it is then only add gen parts as I got few and even balance wheel and bridge, spring barrel full set and ordering now forke and escape wheel, got gen plates also and balance plate full setup
