About 3K factory

Like Clean, 3K also does not have a long history in this industry, it has another two names, K3 and BT. Today, I will give a brief introduction of 3K factory.

In 2019, someone in Zhanxi market bought one Cartier Ballon Bleu replica from V6 factory, he was impressed by the quality and decided to make Ballon Bleu Cartier replica watches by himself, finally, the products came out and the quality is very good, the Ballon Bleu made by him has a very close quality to V6, he was smart, put the V6 sticker on each of his watches and then sell under the name of V6, but at a cheaper price, the result is he earned some money.

The super clone 4130 movement that was developed by Noob and a movement factory in Dandong was very popular at that time. He found this movement factory in Dandong and expressed his thought of wanting to develop a clone PP 324 movement. After half one year of researching, the first generation of clone PP 324 movement came out, which was then equipped in Nautilus 5711 and Aquanaut by WY-3K. But these Patek Philippe replicas equipped with the first generation of PP 324 has a few big issues like jumping seconds, date stuck, sudden stop and noisy auto rotor. Because of these serious problems, a lot of Patek watches were overstocked in their warehouse.

In the end of 2020, I do not remember exact time, they decided to re-study the PP 324 and wanted to solve these issues, then finally the second generation of clone PP 324 came out, which is also the final clone 324 movement you see in current 3K Nautilus 5711 and Aquanaut. The new clone 324 solved all movement issues mentioned above and it is more stable than the movement used in PPF Nautilus. Because of this movement, the case of Nautilus 5711 replica from 3K can be reduced to only 8.3mm, which is closest to gen thickness among all replicas. Afterwards, 3K factory continued to update the case shape of the Nautilus 5711, with the promotion of watch fans who did custom-made works on replica watches, the 3K Nautilus became popular quickly, and now more people are like to buy Nautilus 5711 replica from 3K, other than from PPF, except the blue/gray dial version.

Along with the closure of V6, 3K gained a large portion of the market that belonged to V6 before, then they started to compete with AF in the field of Ballon Bleu. And a branch of 3K, which was called K3, specialized in making ladies Cartier Ballon Bleu.

BT, which is another branch of 3K, makes good quality replicas of Rolex Daytona. Clean is not the only one factory that owns super clone 4130 movement developed by a movement factory in Dandong, BT and New Noob also has it. After the release of Daytona 116500LN by Clean, BT also published the replica Rolex Daytona 116500 white and black models, later Clean made several improvements on the Daytona bezel and dial, but BT also did, so I think the 116500LN Daytona from BT is also very good. Perhaps they wanted to beat Clean so urgently, so next BT published a series of Daytona models earlier than Clean, but the finish is not as good as the first two Daytona 116500LN watches they made before. Next Clean also published a lot of Daytona watches including the yellow gold one and white gold one with rubber band, which have a better quality than BT, so in the competition of Daytona between Clean and BT, BT is gradually at a disadvantage. However, their Daytona 116500LN, full stainless steel Daytona and ice blue Daytona are still worth buying.

This is the story about 3K factory.

Which factory makes the best gold Daytona 116518 replica?

Gold Daytona Comparison BT vs Clean

About the gold Daytona 116518, there are several factories that are making its super clone, they are Clean, BT, Gold, APS, QF, New Noob, among these factories, maybe you are more familiar with Clean and BT, which are more mentioned when people talking about super clone Daytona. Gold and APS also make good quality Daytona replicas with increased weight, but they are using Shanghai 4130 movement, which is not as good as the Dandong 4130 equipped in Daytona made by Clean and BT. About QF, I heard very little about this factory, and about New Noob, I have introduced it in one of my articles before. Currently I only suggest you buy Daytona from Clean and BT. Many Franken watches are also customized on basis of the Daytona from them.

The gold Daytona 116518 is a very popular replica, both Clean and BT are make this model and form a direct competition, which factory makes the best one? I though BT makes this watch better before, but after watching a lot of video reviews on this replica watch, I changed my mind, Clean version is better, please buy with Clean.

Look at the pictures in the beginning of this article, do you know which one is from Clean?

First, I want to say the replica made by both Clean and BT has flaws if you compare them with genuine watch. The case has color difference, genuine watch uses real 18K yellow gold, the replica only has a layer of gold plating on the case, the gold tone on the replica looks brighter and more yellowish. The weight difference also exists, the replica is about 35 grams lighter than the genuine watch. The dial printings on genuine watch are better, especially the red “DAYTONA”, which has a thicker font on the genuine watch. I have seen the movement comparison between them and genuine, the decoration on genuine Rolex 4130 movement is better, and genuine Rolex 4130 movement has one feature that could not be found on Dandong 4130.

BT makes 116518 earlier than Clean, now the latest version comes to V2, on the V1, the gold on the case and dial is too yellow, BT has made the changes on the V2 edition, now the gold tone is very close to that on Clean. However, the dial color is still a little yellow. The dial color on Clean is closer to genuine, I think this is the biggest difference between BT and Clean. Which one will you choose if I put them together. Many videos reviews said the one made by Clean is the ultimate version, so I also recommend Clean even it has a higher price.

Except the dial color, I can not find other differences, can you? Which one is Clean and which one is from BT? Please comment below and share your opinions about the two replicas.

Clean Factory New Blue Daytona

Now in our market, there is a strange phenomenon, that is fewer and fewer new models are being published, why? I think the main reason is the more strict government’s policy against fakes. Every watch factory is afraid of being caught and raided. Now, according to my observation, only VS and APS publish new watches from time to time, it usually takes a long time for other factories including Clean usually to publish a new model. Today, the blue Daytona is made by Clean, it is a new model for the Clean, but not new to the market, because BT factory has published this replica.

About the Daytona, if you want a super clone, actually I only recommend Clean factory, about the ones made by BT and APS, their quality still can not be compared with that of Clean. On BT Daytona, two places make the quality difference between it and Clean, the dial printings and the axis of the handset, Clean does better on these two parts than BT, while on other parts of the Daytona, the finish is almost the same. However about Daytona from APS factory, most people said their Daytona is made with 316L stainless steel.

About version of Daytona from Clean, the black ceramic Panda Daytona 116500 is V3, the white ceramic Panda Daytona 116500 is V2, while other Daytonas made by Clean factory is V1. By the way, Clean does not make the Daytona with ice blue dial, only BT and New Noob make this Daytona.

At last, please appreciate the pictures of the new Daytona from Clean.

New Daytona from Clean Factory

Recently, Clean factory has released new watches one after another, they are also improving the quality of their existing watches such as Daytona and Submariner. People’s recognition of their watches is quite high, especially for their Daytona, the model with gray dial and rubber band, is very popular and still hard to get one even you pay for it first. BT factory also has all Daytona watches which Clean is selling, but people seem to be more willing to pay for Clean’s and then wait. Today, I am going to introduce a new Daytona from Clean, the watch was just announced its publishment, so you still can not find it on those dealers’ website, but the news has already been unveiled in the forums.

The new Daytona replica watch is also made with 904L stainless steel like other Rolex watches from Clean. This one has a gray dial with red color use on small dials, which enhances the readability of the dial. The watch uses Arabic numeral hour markers, each has lume material filled, so are hour hand and minute hand, the lume light emitting from these watch parts is blue and looks strong. The finish of the dial is good, the radial finish on the dial, also known as sunray finish, is delicately completed, not that obvious on some moderate quality Daytona from other factories. After the second improvement Clean has made on the Daytona, the three small hands have finally been corrected to have the same length and shape as that on real watch.

It is interesting that Clean usually changes the cartoon image on the case back of their watches. Seeing from the case back, we also find the tiny symbol engraving on each lug. The tooth design on the edge of the case back has also been carefully researched by Clean. In a word, the Daytona from Clean is the best replica Daytona in our market. The only thing I feel not good is that Clean will not install the rubber band in right size according to your wrist size, they indeed offer different length combinations, but you can not choose by yourself, every client will get the rubber band in the same size, but they can order one extra band if there is a need, the price is also very expensive.

New Daytona from Clean Factory

Replica Rolex Daytona Yellow Gold Watch

About Daytona, the competition between BT and Clean becomes more and more intense, Clean made improvements immediately on their Panda Daytona after BT started to make Daytona, and several weeks ago, BT also improved all Daytona watches to V2 edition. On BT V2 Daytona, two big improvements were made, first, the length of the three small hands was corrected, seconds, the 60 triangle marker at 12 o’clock on the bezel, the crown marker on inner bezel and the crown logo on the dial, they are finally aligned, many people care about this detail. BT factory published a lot of Daytona models at one time, Clean felt about this, so they also started to publish new models to rich their Daytona collection. In last week, we welcomed their first yellow gold Daytona, now Clean just claimed the second new Daytona model in yellow gold. I am sure the Daytona will become better and better in future as long as BT and Clean are in our market.

The first golden Daytona from Clean, I already have gotten it, which has a yellow gold face, it is really good, much better than Daytona Noob made before. Any super clone, in my opinion, they are not perfect, when I gotten the yellow gold Daytona from Clean, I have one point to complain about, it is the aligning problem of the crown logo with the central second hand. Many clients want this detail to be perfect, while this can not be made to be perfect, most pieces are slightly left or right, so, be sure to ask your dealer to choose the one that is closest to be in a perfect position.

The second new yellow gold Daytona features a black dial, Clean also offers several lengths options for the rubber band, as far as I know, there totally five combinations for different wrist size. Every Daytona coming out from Clean will be installed with the same pair of rubber band for wrist with a size of 16cm to 17.2cm, so, if your wrist is smaller or bigger, the only solution is to ask your dealer to order one extra pair of rubber straps from Clean. By the way, the rubber band for Daytona is sold at a very high price by Clean. There is a big need for the super clone Daytona in the market, but this need can not be fulfilled even there are BT, Clean and New Noob here, I found one interesting thing, before the yellow gold Daytona, Clean has already published the Daytona with gray face and rubber band, but now it takes longer to order the gray Daytona from Clean than ordering its yellow gold Daytona just published, maybe the gray one is more popular and too many orders waiting to be processed.

Clean V2 Panda Daytona

The new V2 was just published several days ago, now it is available. I know Clean will upgrade their Panda Daytona in this year, because many Daytona fans complained the V1’s dial color, which looks like a little blue, now facing the competition from BT factory, Clean finally made some improvements on the V1 and published the latest V2 edition.

V2 is much better than previous V1, first, Clean changed the dial color, V2 dial is milky white, not like blue any more, I think that’s the main reason why many people did not buy the V1, they do not like the dial color. Second, the three points on the crown are on the same straight line, now it is curved on V2, which is the same as genuine. I think these are two big and obvious improvements on V2.

If you have both V1 and V2 in hand, you will see some other subtle changes, for example, the color of lume fillment on hour markers and hands is the same, which looks a little greenish, much closer to genuine than V1. On the dial, there are too many small changes if you compare both very carefully, the “DAYTONA” printing is one of them, on V1, it is in dark red, now Clean corrected it to be bright red on V2, which is closer to genuine. Check the SEL of V2 bracelet, is has a correct position now and does not stand that high like V1.

Now, you will know whether the Daytona received from your dealer is Clean V1 or V2 after reading these above. Beside, on the case back of V2, the cartoon character on the sticker should be SpongeBob, not Patrick Star and SpongeBob, there will also be a plastic cap protecting the case comes with V2 Daytona from Clean.

At last, I want to clear up some false rumors you may hear from the online market.

1.BT Daytona is the best, much better than Clean. No.

2.BT Daytona’s crystal has a better transparency, so it is closer to genuine and better than Clean. No. Some people said that the sapphire crystal on genuine is also not that transparent like Clean.

3.Clean V2 Daytona is perfect. No. Like I said before, no replica watch can be made to be perfect.

4.BT Daytona’s movement is better than Clean. No. Actually both BT and Clean have found the movement manufacturer that offered SA4130 movement for Noob before. So, both factories use the same SA4130 movement in their Daytona, however, on the plates and auto rotor of the movement from BT and Clean, the engravings are different in depth and thickness.

The following pictures are V2 Clean Daytona.
