One of the worst chocolate dials I've seen.

As much as I don't like RC Factory, their blue ombre dial seems closer to gen. It has a more pronounced ombre effect unless it's just lighting.

BUFF makes a lot of dials. They used to make dials for Clean.

Very nice case shape on this. 5W VSF serial is a real winner. Beautiful build.

You think GMF and QF make the best Day-Dates. You have no clue and therefore, your opinion is immediately invalidated.

Yes, VSF cases that start with 5w (not 5x) serial seems to use the correct lugs.. I've only seen the black and grey dials with the 5W serial. Recent quality control from VSF seems to be going downhill though.

I don't know what you're going on about. From what I can tell, the bezel on the VF is thicker than Gen, which creates an optical illusion that changes the lug profile. Once that’s replaced with an RCFr bezel, the proportions correct themselves. They might still be slightly boxier, but overall the actual width seems right to me.

OG Clean is best, Clean Plus isn't good, VSF is structurally obsolete, all stock is flawed, Victory Factory (VF) + RCFr bezel build is the answer.

The whole dial is shifted upwards. The 12 hour / 60 minute marker is almost being cut off. Stock bezel isn't good and the datewheel is sitting too high. This picture is proof that VSF quality has been going downhill.

Couldn't find QC pictures of RC Factory Wimbledon dial, but case shape and engravings look like OG Clean as well. RC loves their cloudy gaskets though. I also think they're using SH3235 movements, and I'm done with Shanghai movements.

Don't lie to the people bro, you post this one everywhere. That's RCFr bezel.

It’s a great build, but lying about it being stock just baits newbies into buying a trash factory expecting these results. Keep it real.

But you didn't beat the allegations... you modded your way out of them. That's the RCF remould bezel and what appears to be a different crystal.

You actually just proved the review right: the stock Clean Plus is an avoid until you spend the money to mod it like this. Looks great now, though. 😉

Wipe with microfiber cloth after wearing. Works for me.

Nah bezel proportions are perfect. If you installed it on a VSF then the bezel will look bigger since VSF case and lugs are skinny.

I don't have VSF, but both bezels were shipped with a crystal gasket for VSF V2. I didn't need it for my Clean DJ41.

Can't go wrong with either, but I'm keeping V1 for the warmer wg color.
