Sub no date - Clean or VSF

[SamboMambo]

For some reason the Clean dials look more like Gen to me (I'm big on dials and bezel inserts) . Won't really know until I finally get one in-hand though

Compare the 300m and certified print between the two and see what you think.

If you can't find a different in these pics, be Happy and buy the cheaper one, not everyone is looking with a microscope at their reps. Both are great pieces

There is an 114060 Clean model with VSF 3130 movement and ARF Bracelet wich would be the ultimate no date version

I’d like to grab one of those up. Who has them or do you have a link? Thanks

I have a clean 114060, however the numbering on the bezel seems to be dull/faded.

Is VSF 124060/114060 better in terms of the color/numbering on the bezel?

I picked up a gently used clean 114060 for $300 this weekend, my first No date. I wanted to try it out before I commit to a new VSF. Sounds like a Clean 114060 will at least be close enough to Gen for me to make a decision on Date vs No Date

Your numbering is probably just dirty and needs a little soap and water. The numbering is cut into the bezel and it picks up oil, skin and crud from everywhere. I use a brush on mine from time to time and it gets most of my crud out.
There might be a difference in the coloring but I think they’re the same in everything but the size.

Can you please tell me more about the floating m, just so I know what I’m looking out for.

IMO you are way overthinking this and going down the rabbit hole of "tells" that only the most discerning eye would see at about three inches from your watch.

Get a VSF for a CLEAN from a TD and I promise you will love it. NO ONE but about .0001% of the population would be able it is not a gen watch- and even those guys need to be a foot away or less.

enjoy and post pics once received.

Absolutely. Especially being that the one one the right is Gen and the left is Clean Factory...

Thanks for the tip. It's strange because I rarely wore the watch out, maybe 3-4 times? After which its in my watchbox... and I have to add that my Clean 114060 is maybe 1.5 years old? so its not the most updated version; wonder if the new versions, the bezels are better ? (in terms of numbers color/clarity)

I know they changed the GMT and made improvements so they might have done something with the submariner.

Buy a toothbrush and some dawn and clean it.

I’m brand new to this and this site has been a gift to me, and the info on here is so helpful and detailed. So for my first rep purchase I’m going for this too. Sound like a great combo, Clean with 3130. Thanks everyone.
