I just got the clean v3 black too.
I have already had in past ARF, NOOB 116520,116500,116519 and a Clean v1 116520.
I have also the new Clean 116518 Yellow dial.
I own also a gen 116503 2019 so i can say something about the "gen" feeling talking about movement, bracelet and weight.
These new Cleans are impressive.
The Clean 116518 is aesthetically exactly as gen including the gold color(matched with my gen), only the weight is different from gen because we have steel plated vs full gold but considering that i'm the only one who wear the watch and i'm not used to give my watch in the hands of other people...the weight is not an issue for me.
Talking about the new Clean 116500 v3 black, what can i say?
It's gen like.
Off course, you don't have the gen on the wrist but bracelet, bezel, chrono functions, dial(the compass are really close despite we are talking about platinium vs xxx finish) are impressive.
It has to be seen in person because watching pictures i was doubtful too.
The compass aren't "fat" as they appear in the pictures.
There is alway space for improvement but in this case i think it's a ready to go watch.
I didn't try the btf yet but the most important part of this watch, THE DIAL, is all in favour of Clean so i don't care about btf.
My two cents
