,,, But you’re replacing a problem which you most likely won’t have, with one you definitely do - the subdial hand now looks like it was stuck on by a 3 year old. Which it probably was, but still…
Good point. And I'm pretty sure it was a six-year-old.

Has anyone tested the power reserve on the DD4131 yet? I have seen some commentaries online with various contradicting claims about the power reserve of the SH4131 vs the DD4131. Not really sure which claim is more accurate...

I was always wondering since the dandong 4802 comes directly from peacock factory, they will lube the movemebts perfectly, and when tooken apart and engraved and put together again for rep factory, they may not be so accurate after. Is that a weong thought from me @dogwood ?

Would appreciate your input a lot.

I am in a dilema, I want to order the black version but I do not know if clean or VSF. Has Vsf fixed the 3 dots in the crown?

Now that Clean has updated the movement to DD4131 there is basically no reason to get a VSF (unless you plan to get the version with the budget movement, but then the savings outweigh any flaw on the crown).

And is there easy way, like new rehaut serial number or similar, to identify it is the DD4131 and not SH4131 when you receive the QC pics? Or it is same case and you need to open the caseback to identify

I'm also hearing rumours that the new Clean 126500 with the DD4131 movement has an improved bezel, sub dials and crystal. But it doesn't seem like any TD's can actually get hold of it at the moment.

I asked CTIME and they said that nothing changed other than the movement… where did you hear this?

I saw photos of 2 watches on Reddit that had an improved bezel. One had a Clean sticker and the new movement, that other one was claimed to be Clean with the new movement.
All other photos I have seen of this updated model did not have an updated bezel, though. CTime sent me photos of 3 watches that they had on stock, and they were all optically identical to mine from March last year.
So either someone was playing funny games on Reddit, or there are weird things happening.

Alright, step away from your phone, find a comfy spot, and settle into a position that doesn’t scream “I’m about to pull a muscle.” Now, open your eyes with a soft, “I’m zen” look and take a nice, calming deep breath. Close your eyes, and repeat after me: "This is from Reddit, this is from Reddit, this is from Reddit." Don’t worry, if you start to doubt, just do it again. Maybe throw in some soothing music for good measure.

Now, let’s get real — do you honestly believe that everything you read on Reddit is 100% factual? Because those “Rediots” might just be onto something with that nickname… Just saying.

It was probably me. I just make shit up and wait for others to parrot my BS to others as truth.
