March | 2026 | Susan Reviews on Replica Watches

Any Rolex watch with turquoise dial will attract people and is sold at high price, it is the same for a replica Rolex. Do you still know the last Rolex with turquoise dial? It is an Oyster Perpetual model, the replica was made by a lot of factories, but you might not expect that the one with the closest dial color actually comes from a small factory, not from Clean and VS. For this Daytona 126518, the most difficult part to clone is also the dial color. Its replica is made by a lot of big factories, including APS, GM, QF, Clean Plus, UFO, but each is different in dial color.

After our holiday, VS published this Daytona, and this is the V2 edition with extra weight. For all Daytona replicas, VS has upgraded their weight, the Daytona models with stainless steel bracelet have been upgraded to V3, while the Daytona watches with rubber band have been upgraded to V2. This turquoise Daytona from VS has a weight of about 139 grams, it is not the one with the heaviest weight, CBD version has a weight of 158 grams, but VS claims that their Daytona replicas never have case peeling off issue.

How is the dial color on this watch from VS? I think it is much closer to the genuine dial than the one from some factories like GM and UFO. The turquoise color on VS does not look that dark, the color looks lighter, I do not have a chance to see the genuine watch, but found some pictures to compare, the completion of turquoise dial color by VS is indeed better. But I found the color looks darker if I observe the dial at a closer distance. Besides the weight, VS has already improved the gold tone on the yellow gold Daytona watches, now on the V2 yellow gold Daytona, the golden case does not look that yellow, the yellow gold tone looks lighter too.

There are flaws on the dial, the three subdials have correct position and correct functions, but I noticed that the central round part on each sundial stands a bit higher, the round golden edge of the small dial is a bit thinner than that on the genuine, the round edge’s golden tone looks slightly different from the yellow gold tone on the hands.

The replica watch is equipped with DD4131 movement, which is used by three factories, VS, BT and Clean Plus. The rubber band comes with a length combination of E and F, which is suitable for wrist size from 17.3cm to 18.2cm, if you have a bigger wrist size that that, for example more than 19cm, you will need to order longer rubber band by yourself. VS Factory offers F+F length combination for 19.2cm wrist, but usually they do not sell separately, and all Daytona come with E+F by default.

This watch was more popular in the past than today, especially when Clean factory published it in May https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/05/26/clean-titanium-yachmaster-42mm-226627/, 2025, but after the closure of Clean, few people are discussing this watch today, but that does not mean there is no good replica for this YachtMaster, some people thought only Clean has the best Rolex, now they need to change their minds, like I said before, every replica is not perfect, and the replica from each factory has their own advantages. So now which factory makes the best replica of this YachtMaster?

Currently a lot of factories make this replica watch, including TW, EWE, QF, Clean Plus, Victory, ARF. If you want the most affordable one, I recommend EWE. If you want a high-end one, please check with QF, Victory and ARF, and I do not think there is too much difference between these three factories. QF and ARF have been in this industry for more than five years, their watch quality and quality control are trusted. Victory is a new factory and many dealers said their watches are the same quality as previous Clean, I got one Daytona from Victory last week, and found it indeed uses many watch parts that were used on Clean clone watches. The quality of Victory Rolex is no problem, I only have a little bit worry about their quality control, after all they are a beginner. Among these factories, I do not suggest you buy from Clean Plus, which is also called C Plus.

If I were you, I will consider ARF first when buying this YachtMaster watch. They upgraded the movement to DD3235, and the pin that connects each link of the bracelet also uses ceramic tube. Currently only makes Rolex, and the movement of their GMT-Master has also been upgraded to DD3285, but at the same time they also supply the Rolex SH3235 and SH3285. There have been a controversial topic on which movement is better between SH3235 and DD3235, I do not think DD3235 is better in each aspect, otherwise people won’t buy from QF.

The following pictures show the YachtMaster 226627 from Victory. It is a good watch but not perfect. Two obvious flaws I can notice when firstly got the watch, the matt finish on the ceramic bezel is too delicate, while on genuine watch it should be more obvious. Second, the bezel rotation is too smooth. The finish of other places is in quite high quality level.

By the way, VS Factory currently does not make this YachtMaster, but they are about to publish the Daytona 126518 with turquoise dial.
