Brilliant review @CTime. I especially liked seeing the laser machine from the supplier who does the engraving on the bezel insert -- the difference in setups can make a big difference between the outcomes of the parts. Understanding the differences in how these parts are made helps us all grow our knowledge and become better rep buyers!

@CTime does it again!
Excellent photos and review. Such a delight to see these beautifully repped BLRO inserts that are available to us all without silly AD games, make believe waiting lists, and for a fraction of gen price.

Trying to bump what I wrote earlier. You show v2 (brighter) and v2s (darker) on CF. What insert would you get if you order a CF-watch today (v2s?) or do you need to specify that? @CTime
Y2L3 or L6V6 - either way the font is not correct in both caseHere is a pic of my qc showing 2L3 case and what looks like a V2 insert.

Bet! Only C+ did it correctly. if we able to put the DD movement on C+ case, then it would be perfect build.

I have witnessed the same font in almost all models of Clean nowadays. I have the first batch of 124060 Submariner. and the font is the same font as gen. But in the last batch of STEEL INOX, the serial number font is always the same. Do you have any idea why he is doing this? The serial number can change, that makes sense, but I have a hard time understanding why the font changes.
Either:
1) different suppliers for the 124060 and the 126710 casesets (after all, the specs and requirements are totally different),
2) they want an excuse to sell you the next upgraded version of the watch, or
a combination of the two points above.

This part is unfortunate:
V2S - "Engraving texture: okay - The texture is different on the red and blue part due to the different rigidity, it also caused some peeling off of the fillings. The flaws are not visible with bare eyes and Clean may fix it after first batch."
One step forward, one step back.

I will just get V2, it's a bit cheaper and overall the easiest for us(stock wise)

Hey guys, I have a 2021 CF gmt, would love to change the bezel for the newest V2 from clean, is it hard to change a bezel by yourself? Also can we buy the bezel only from a td?
