Rolex GMT Batman “Clean Factory”

[Saga91]

Hello, I got the watch from Chazing time, very fast and practical in shipping and assistance. Aesthetically it is very nice but it has not passed the underwater test. The watchmaker says that the gaskets or the glass or the bezel should be changed.. do you have these spare parts? I sincerely wish I could make him go at least 1 meter under water. Can you give me some advice on what I should do? this movement of the bezel should do it? thanks a lot and good job

Just have the caseback and crown gaskets lubed plus caseback screwed down tight and you'll be ready to go for swims (in shallow non-sea waters) with the watch.

Thank you …what does it mean to lubricate the crown ? by putting silicone? i'm trying to upload a video .. i can't put videos here ? just the photos?

 

[jkrw247]

yes, apply some silicon grease on the rubber gasket in the crown

You have to upload the videos someplace else and post the link here.

thanks so much regarding the advice to apply the silicone in the crown, i will ask some experienced watchmaker. As for the video, I don't know where to move it first, and then put the link here.

As for the water resistance of the watches, the Rolex Daytona, also from "Clean Factory", passed the 10-meter depth test, while the Rolex GMT did not.. Probably all GMT have this water resistance problem at cause of the movement of the crown?

 

[Saga91]

because I'm afraid that the problem may come from the glass or the GMT bezel

It's a v1 or v2? Water resistance should have been corrected in v2.

These watches are notorious leakers and I’ve had two explode in my pressure tester. I don’t know of a perfect solution other than gluing the crystal to the crystal gasket. They claim to have fixed the problem in v2 and I’ll believe it when I see it for myself.

I got it now on Chazing Time, it should be V2 and with the power of the battery boosted to 72 hours. (That would be the new Clean Factory GMT models)

 

[Saga91]

or Chazing on your website you may have written that they are the new clean Factory GMT models but they are not? I got a white Daytona last month from Steve of The One Watches and it's a V2, in fact it says on his website and it passed the 10m underwater test.

Good morning friends, an expert watchmaker managed to make the watch practically underwater, changing and modifying the seals, making it pass the immersion test even at 100 meters. I am very happy!!! a warm greeting to all !

Before applying the modifications, did you pass the waterproofing? How many meters away?

Can you give me details of the watchsmith via pm please. Would like to do the same if he is located in EU.

Mine is being waterproofed right now. In a few days I will be able to share with you the result of the test.

 

[Saga91]

The watchmaker is in Milan Italy, however he doesn't usually do these adjustments, I went privately through a friend of mine.. the watch wasn't waterproof, but now it is, I was very happy with that ..

 

[Saga91]

in any case, I can't understand why Clean Factory, even if it manages to replicate a watch almost perfectly in every detail, neglects the fact of waterproofness.. I don't understand why they don't solve a simple but at the same time important problem, after years of productions! It would be enough to assemble them better or simply use higher level gaskets, equal to an original diver and they would make many more people happy, greetings to all!
