I refuse to give advice to people that dont

- support the forum
- arent certified
- have 45 posts in 6 years
- wanna save some extra money by buying from local wechat dealers but wanting the service they could have get for premium from TDs.

Pay me fucking 150 quid and I tell you if its a Clean or just a stickered fakeclean.😂

Looking at the pictures provided, it is not possible to tell 100%.
Clasp code is correct.
Serial I cannot verify 100%
There are quite many fake Clean Factory stocks lurking in the market.
The only possible tell is to open the case back and check the movement is a DD 3285 (Dan Dong 3285 movement)
Then it is assured 100% Clean stocks

Is it common practice to buy just the stickers and putting them on some small factory watches? for example, cheap caseset and a DD4130 daytona movement (cheap nowadays) and selling as CLEAN would give massive profit and only guys like us living in a rabbithole would see this.
I am not talking about the TDs, I am talking about the tons of other foreign dealers that operate on wechat with no aftersales service.

Difficult to tell without opening it up. If you want 100% CF watch better buy it from a trusted source.

There are really unscrupulous dealers who does that.

They copied and make those stickers and then just sell a cheaper Factory one as Clean.

You can check if the GMT hand wobbles while changing the hours hand. If yes: its a VR3186
I have a video of this but couldnt upload it due to size limit. The GMT hand did not wobble while changing the hours hand. Thanks very much for your help!

It arrived. Definitely Clean. Bezel turns red under UV light. No wobble when setting the hour hand. Correct serial number.
