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.
