Hi guys. The rootbeer from clean looks awesome!!! This week I will make an order for one because I just fell in love with it.
But I wanted to ask you about the gold. Will it fade away because right now I have a datejust from ewf which I wore for only a month and the gold on the bezel started to fade away. I know that ewf isnt a great factory, but unfortunately at the time I bought it I still havent found RWI and bought it way more expensive than it should have been…

for the most part, no one has gotten the 2 tone right and the longetvity is always an issues unless you get it replated

GMF and C+ has the best rose gold. But GMF root beer is off in many ways. Bezel is wrong, insert is off and some other things. IMHO C+ is the best for root beer ATM. Unless you want the better movement go with clean.

Yes I will definetly go with clean and see if anyone in my country can make another layer of gold plating because today I saw the DJ bezel which is only a month old. I know that this watches are reps and it is not a solid gold like in real ones but I thought I would have more time untill it fades. Probably I should see if anyone in my country can make a gold plate of the bezel

The gold plating used by Clean is apparently very durable. I wouldn't bother getting it plated unless it starts to show signs of wear.

According to @CTime this batch has an improved dial and waterproofing..
its interesting that only CTime gives out this info. my non-TD didnt know anything about silent updates and even said the factory doesnt know what I am talking about when I showed him CTimes thread here on rwi (new batman vs gen). Also Steve, who is also a TD here, didnt say anything about updates on the rootbeer (but it took over a month to get it so its definitely a new batch). Guess we will see

Please post your results if you do a waterproofing test

Yeah I don't know why I wrote as if it'll never ever fade lol. Perhaps. I just couldn't imagine it changing much over the course of time after seeing how it doesn't respond to polishing cloths and got carried away. Just in my experience and the way I use the watch it's been rock solid. I'm very impressed with it compared to other factory's application of gold where it's more clearly gonna wear away. Clean was different, the stuff is like paint. Do you have one Gains?

Hi sorry for the question but for how long do you have the rootbeer and how is the gold on it? Are you wearing it everyday or you are switching your watches? I am curious because I just made an order for rootbeer(clean) from ctime

I've got the Rootbeer from clean (ctime) as well, and it's great! It's more rose in real than in the photo's, as its very hard to get the right color on a photo. I don't wear it that much, but it's pretty decent. Platings is still very solid :)
