Titanium Yatchmaster 42mm - 2023 release

[ExtraExtra]

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.

I hope vsf olso we need more than one maker.
