Explorer I -124270 Gen & Clean Comprehensive Comparison

I think it's affected the 40mm too. I didn't notice mine on QC until after I saw this thread. Of course, after its been green lit.

40mm Explorer doesn't really have an aggressive "curve" to it like 36mm

That's good to know. Either way, it's too small to spot in the wild anyway. Only my own OCD I'm worried about.

Hi guys, sorry for the stupide question. Im quite new to this. Does the gen and reps have slightly chamfered case and bracelets?

Got a Clean 36 this week - wow, what a wonderful rep, love the size - thought it would be too small but it isn't at all. So much better proportions than the 39mm.

Agree on the proportional layout, so much better for me at 36mm

I had 36mm but for me was looks small! The 40mm version i think its more great

I prefer 39mm for the size, and also placement of "Explorer" on bottom half of the dial

Still going back and forth on whether to still pick up the CF 36mm since there were some rumors that the 6-9 was an actual mistake and not an intentional design change. Might hold off for a for more weeks to see if any new batch QCs come through.

Just wait or M2M no need to rush

Is the Clean 36mm better than the VSF? Couldn't find any detailed views on the latter but noticed Andiot is charging 20 bucks more for it.

I've come to the painful conclusion that my 41mm sub is just a little bit too big on my tiny little wrists

 

[phoibos12]

I think yes that clean 36mm its better from vrf

In recent batches, Clean used the wrong numbers for 6 and 9 on the dial. So I personally would wait until this flaw is resolved before I ordered one.
To my knowledge, VSF uses the wrong case for the 36mm Explorer, which is why the Clean one is more popular.

 

[phoibos12]

Tell me one replica that is perfect?????just my opinion the explorer clean version 36 or 39 or 40 its so close to the real thing....

 

[chrisat]

Look, they did it right until around November, and then suddenly they introduced an unnecessary flaw. They confirmed that they are aware of it, and that they will amend it. So now you have the choice - get one immediately, or wait a few weeks until it's resolved again. Your choice. You won't get a discount now, if you buy the flawed version, though Also, if we just buy any crap they throw at us, quality will eventually go down.

I dont understand what is wrong with version of 40mm explorer clean version?

 

[chrisat]

Nothing is wrong with the 40mm. Last few posts were about the 36mm, though.

 

[phoibos12]

Ok thanks!

Seems like everyone is rating Clean over VSF for 36mm explorer. Anyone had a BP one and how does is hold up against Clean and VSF? Just curious.
