Just two weeks ago, there was a rumor in our market that Clean will use Dandong 3235 movement in their Datejust and 41mm Submariner products, this is a fake news. Dandong 3235 movement will never be given to Clean, at least not now, this is the only advantage VS has in competing with Clean in Rolex field, perhaps Clean will get the Dandong 3235 when VS factory is forced to be closed.
Clean has been always using Shanghai 3235 movement in their Datejust and 41mm Submariner, and they just improved this movement and the new movement will be used by them soon. Please check the movement pictures in the end of the article. The left one in the picture is new Shanghai 3235 movement just developed by Clean. The right one is Dandong 3235 movement from VS. Did you notice the difference? There are extra golden engravings added on the auto rotor. By the way, Clean claims that the new Shanghai 3235 will have a power reserve of about 70 hours, which is very close to that of Dandong 3235. I watched some reviews and they said the power reserve time is true, but some reviewers also said even Dandong 3235 only has a power reserve of about 60 hours.
Once the stocks of Datejust and Submariner with old Shanghai 3235 movement being sold out, Clean will start to use the new version of Shanghai 3235 movement.
