I am not aware of any other Clean rep made of titanium yet, so it's going to be interesting to see if they get the finishing right on the first try. I guess they wouldn't release this watch, if they weren't sure that they can deliver a good quality, though. All their recent releases have been top notch, like the 126500 that they released long before all other factories.
Would the factories not source their materials more or less from the same group of parts manufacturers?

Take the IWC Mark XX Patrouille Suisse as example (it has a titanium case) - there are reps from M+F and V7F, and the M+F case looks very different than the V7F case (V7F has a much darker color and rougher finish, and doesn't look like gen at all). So even these mid tier factories use different titanium cases - so I don't think that Clean will just use the same titanium case that is used by EWF.

The problem with this particular model is the fact the GEN is so scarce. When these hit the market properly the demand for the REP will go up.

Perhaps I’m not the majority but the fact the GEN is harder to get than a panda puts me off getting the rep. Anyone who knows anything will ask how on earth you have one?!?

I’m sure Clean will make it; but given Rolex can’t even fulfil orders I don’t see them rushing.

A photo of the watch appeared in the Clean catalog earlier this year, and is still there in the most recent version as well.
It's also confirmed by a TD, that is known to have a strong relationship with Clean, that they are working on a release.
No confirmed timeline, though, and they also have not yet released any early samples.
There were some rumors recently, that there are issues with the manufacturing of the case, but they were from an unknown source and could just have been speculation.

They confirmed me they will be getting a batch next week.
Yeah, cool. I'm really looking forward to your feedback when you hold the watch in your hands.

On Reddit they said today that they expect stock towards the end of the month.
I reached out to them yesterday, and while they didn't confirm a date, it didn't sound like it was just a matter of days.
I leave for vacation in 4 weeks, so I was hoping that they had some stock for quick QC turnaround and shipping, but turns out that I will not go on vacation with a nice titanium watch on my wrist (well, actually I will - it's just going to be a Tactical Frog and not a Clean Rolex 😂 ).

I contacted David and he said Clean makes it and gave me a price too. Only issue is I'm not sure how shipping to the US is even though he said it isn't an issue.

Take his word for it and order the watch. Firstly, the guys know how to do it and secondly, I want to see pictures.

Have you seen the comparison that Ctime made?
