Hi members

I got the gen GMT 126713 from Clean that they just bought for their new models!


Recently, they have finished most of the work on two-tone and full yellow gold jubilee bracelet. This new plating technique on jubilee bracelet is very complicated, yet costly. Clean will also consider using this technique on their future 36/41mm two-tone Datejust.

Now we are waiting for the color modulation of black/grey bezel instert to be perfect. And if factories try to do the bezel without gen reference but from their finely designed advertisements on the website, it would turn out barely correct(like the one below that were custom made by clients). That's why I find Clean reliable on every details, they always try to do the best.


This watch has been disassembled and sent to different factories to make moulds. I'm already excited about the result!

No more chitchat, let's take a close look at this beautiful piece!

Beautiful piece indeed. Sure hope CLEAN improves the bezel assembly components on this one. They could have a stellar rep with the great lengths they are going to with the rest of it.

I was surprised to see how recessed the insert looks, making the crystal appear to sit higher. I prefer a closer to flush fit on the insert but hey gen is gen right?

Thank you CTime.

The boss of CF must spend serious $$$ at Rolex. He has no problem buying any model.

I mean he basically has every gen. His collection must be amazing.

Spending? Just think about what profit he has from these thousands of reps he sells..

And I heard that they many tend to sell the gen after they "perfected" their rep.

Spend $10,000 on a gen Rolex
Sell 10,000 reps of that gen Rolex at a wholesale price of $400 each = $4,000,000 (20,000 reps = $8million, etc...)
Clean factory sells over 20 different Rolex models. Imagine those profit margins, multiplied by all the various models, over and over and over again. The rep industry is very lucrative, easily high multi-million dollar. Especially for top tier factories.

R Factory give them to Clean Factory for free on the proviso they use a rubbish xtal and shocking bezel assembly. Everyone knows profits are the shared equally between R factory and Clean Factory. Same was the case for the Noob factory untill they copied the Daytona movement without prior agreement. All hell broke loose and Noob was shut down. I heard that the Noob boss was sent back to Switzerland to run Tudor Factory as punishment 🤷‍♂️

Can't wait for this new CF release! As long as the bezel looks good, I'll be the first to buy.

Would this bracelet fit a 41mm sub (e.g. a CF 126613LB?)

I hope so - I've always wanted a bluesy on a jubilee!

No, the Sub 41 lug width is 21mm. GMT lug widths are 20mm.
