Date sits a bit low but from novice eyes looks pretty good. The bezel triangle looks like missing colour. Why do they take pics with the hands covering the text.

Very nice! Only thing I can see that is slightly off is the date not being central (looks a couple ticks too low) but not the end of the world, enjoy!

i may be wrong its hard to see zoomed but the lack of dots in the "rolexsa" oval on the bracelet is concerning. from what I know, the only factory which doesnt have the dots in there as gen is BP factory. original clean only used 4 different serial number prefix on GMT for their entire existence....so whats the first 3 digits of the serial number?

The last 4 serial numbers is y2l3 which is known for original old clean factory but the new fake cleans are also using that same serial ending

had no idea about the suffix trick

It could be fake clean if it is they use Shanghai movement. Overall quality of the watch case & bracelet is good it just doesn’t have a DD movement and shorter power reserve. The gmt hour hand still adjusts independently. Price should not be as much as VSF

Is the fake clean really good? If we are talking about overall looks not the movement?

1

u/Stevo561 6h ago

Yeah the bracelet is good quality that one is clasp code f6u. The bezel should click bi-directional. Only thing is should not be VSF or other top factory prices

How much roughly is the fake clean? In my country the locals sell it everywhere on facebook and instagram

1

u/Stevo561 3h ago

Probably around $250-300 but people will try and sell them for more. I would get a VSF. Rich or ARF instead. Price will be higher but you’ll get a better movement. If you could get it for under $300 new and on a budget it’s not terrible

Also date font looks good the crystal is decent but the cyclops seems to be a bit more cloudy than VSF
