GMT-II Pepsi insert comparison of Gen MK2, Clean V2, Clean V2s, Xing V5

[2841]

Well with the platinum color peeling on the V2s, the only option atm would be the V2. Why would anyone get anything else?

 

[Akilles]

I will get the v2s for sure. Simply like it darker. The X10 zoom pictures on the platinum color doesn't bother be as long as it's reasonable "peeling"

Compared to Xing insert (like people seem to like) V2s appears to have better filling anyway

This is truly an excellent comparison, thank you!

@CTime im a bit confused about the v2/v2s specifically regarding Clean’s watches, because here we see a Clean with the V2S.

Will there be an option to get a Pepsi with V2S from Clean? Or is the v2s only on the C+ and must be purchased through them? Or can you simply source a v2s separately?

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

 

[Akilles]

Right now you cant get either unless TD has it in stock. CF and C+ appears to supplying issues at the moment.

 

[engbanna1]

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

DD3285 and CF v2 insert and you’ve got a beast

Color score: -0.5 point - It is a bit darker color off: 40%.

UV light score: 1.5 point - It turned red and had a strong glow, brightness: 80%.

Engraving texture score: -1 point - 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.

Subtotal: 2 points.

Gen VS. Xing V5

Color score: 0 point - It is slightly pinkish, color off: 20%.

UV light score: 1 point - It turned red and glowed, brightness: 40%.

Engraving texture score: 1 point - It’s a bit rough.

6/18 transition score: -1 point - The color transition is okay, but the fillings on them are thick and uneven.

Subtotal: 1 point.

@CTime when Summing up the points for each insert I get 4 points for V2s and 3 points for Xing V5, is that a typo?


And thanks heaps for the amazing comparison I really appreciate your attention to details and how you endeavour to educate the community here. Really hat off.

Clean has a more expensive version for V2S, you can get spear bezel insert from us,but it's not available now, out of stock.

Some of them are minus points , were them hard to read?

 

[CTime]

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?

The bezel insert could break if you use wrong tools, but overall not a complicated treatment.
We can also get spear insert.

 

[Akilles]

Interesting that the v2s is more expensive. One would believe it would have the same price as v2. So the v2 is the "budget option" from Clean now

Budget and better option

 

[Akilles]

Not if you like mark 3 colors better

Oh thought it is a dash.. So V2s subtotal would be -0.5+1.5-1+1 = 1 not 2 @CTime

 

[2841]

Li (Jtime) just had a chat with the factory, and they have confirmed that the watches he is getting is with the v2

So my QC from a couple of days ago, is with a V2

v1 on the right

 

[2841]

And a huge thanks to @CTime for doing the side by side

On this you can really see how horrendous V1 is

just watched a YT video, apparently CF comes with v2, if you want v2s there will be additional RMB 300
C+ on other hand comes with v2s
