A new factory named Clean Plus just appeared in the market, we talked about it before, some people say it is Clean and they are back to the business, some people say it is not the original Clean Factory, so the hottest thing we are discussing about is whether the new Clean Plus is still the same previous Clean Factory. Now Clean Plus has released Datejust, YachtMaster and Daytona, I think they will publish more watches next.
Clean Factory has been closed for a while, people are still looking for Clean watches, I do hope Clean Plus can make the same quality watches as Clean, or even better quality. But after checking the Datejust from Clean Plus, I found their quality is still not the same as that of Clean.
There are two Datejust watches above, the left one is from Clean Plus, the right one is from Clean.
First, check the crystal, it is lower on Clean Plus, while on the right Clean Datejust, the crystal stands a little higher.
Second, the date wheel is different. Check the date font on the left Datejust from Clean Plus, it is a little thicker.
Third, the Rolex Crown logo on the buckle is different, I like the one on the right watch from Clean.
Fourth, the clasp engraving is different. On the top, it is the clasp on Clean. The engraving is bigger and deeper. On the bottom clasp, the letter ‘O’ is more like a digit 0.
Clean Plus uses DD3235 movement, this is good, as far as I know, they also use DD3235 in the Titanium YachtMaster and DD4131 in Daytona.
Conclusion
Clean Plus is not the original Clean Factory. Take the Datejust as an example, some watch parts like date wheel and bracelet on Clean Plus are different from that of Clean. Currently the best option for Datejust is still VS V2.
Is this the first titanium watch made by Rolex? It is a popular watch and many people have asked if there is a super clone in the market. The first factory that made its replica is EW, several months ago, this factory was shut down, everyone knew the reason. Later a new manufacturer named EWE apppeared, does it have some relationship with EW? Maybe a new factory or still EW. Any way, before Clean, everyone chose this titanium YachtMaster Rolex from EWE. TW+ also made the replica, there are many factories using TW name, such as TWA, TW and TW+, I do not know what is the relationship between them, but they are not involved in manufacutring super clones, they provide cheap to middle quality replicas. For this titanium YachtMaster replica, EWE uses a Hangzhou 3235 movement, which has nearly 72 hours power reserve and is very reliable. The replica from TW+ is equipped with a Shanghai 3235, I am not sure if they are using the updated version released later. But in my memory, the Hangzhou 3235 used by EWE is good.
Back to the titanium YachtMaster 226627 made by Clean, it is fully made with titanium, so the weight is very close to that of genuine watch. With the Clean sticker on the bracelet and plastic cover, the replica has a weight of 109.6 grams, the genuine watch weighs about 107.4 grams. The replica is made with grade 5 titanium, it looks not that bright like stainless steel, this material is very hard, so it is a bit difficult to complete a very good finish on the case and bracelet, but Clean does a job work. Please look at the following pictures, on the enlarged picture of the bracelet, some brushed lines look coarser, but from a viewing distance, this is unnoticeable. On genuine watch, the brushing is also more obvious, but I think every brushed line has the same thickness. I do not think it will be a flaw for this replica watch.
On the bracelet, the engravings on the clasp are correct. But I found one tiny flaw on the clasp when it is closed. Look at the picture, the left metal piece stands slightly taller than the right metal piece, they are on the same horizontal line on the genuine watch. I do not know if all replicas of this watch made by Clean have this flaw, or just the one in my hand.
The case has a thickness of 11.89mm, less than 12mm. The tube of the pin that connects each link of the bracelet uses ceramic material, Clean claims this is also a feature on the genuine watch. The ceramic tube is highly scratch resistant and after a long time of wearing, the links can still locks firmly, you will not feel the bracelet becoming loose.
The movement inside is a SH3235, which is widely used by Clean in the Datejust, it is the new version of SH3235, Clean said it is also 72 hours of power reserve, but I said this is not true in another post. Well, because this movement has also been widely used by other factories, so I think its stability is acceptable.
The bezel insert is black ceramic in matt finish, which is in contrast with the bright polishing on the markers. The matt finish on the genuine is more obvious, while on the replica, it is more refined.
Overall, the finish of the Clean version absolutely better than that of the EWE model, but Clean also has a much higher price. Whether you buy from Clean or EWE, it will be a right decision.
Today, I want to show you some new names just appeared in our market, they are not new watches in this field, but some new factories names you may just heard of.
First, it is S+, this factory, maybe it is more suitable to call it somebody, just appeared in our market in the end of October, with the release of two Omega Seamaster replica watches, including the full black ceramic Seamaster I show below. As far as I know, S+ currently only makes two Seamaster models, why does it suddenly appear in the market? Because these two replicas of Seamaster made by VS factory have been out of stock for a long time, people who want good replicas, so they want to seize this chance, let’s see if they can succeed, How about this Seamster made by S+? Quality is ok, the movement decoration is nice, closer to genuine watch, but movement stability needs time to be tested. My advice is wait, do not push your trigger now.
Second, it is VVS. I knew this factory just several days ago because they released the full titanium replica of Seamaster 007 No Time To Die, then I made some searches online and found some replicas posted online are using the bezel or dial under VVS name, so I guess this is a factory that only made watch parts before, now they want to sell replica watches by themselves and just entered this field. How about the Seamaster 007 No Time To Die made by VVS? Its quality is ok, but I do not suggest you buy. We know the best replica of this watch was made by VS factory, and the latest version has come to V4, but the bracelet is still not titanium. VVS corrected it and uses titanium material on the case and bracelet, this is a big improvement, but its dial finish, case back engravings and movement are not as good as VS. I opened the case back, there are no decorations on the plate. The price of this replica from VVS is even sold at a higher price than VS. Not recommended.
Third, Gold Factory. Here we call it “狗厂” in China because there is a dog head icon on the strap. This is a new factory in our market. Perhaps you have seen the replica watches made by this factory on the internet, on your dealers’ wechat moment, they have posted pictures of the watches from Gold Factory. Currently Gold Factory only makes two types of Rolex replicas, Daytona and YachtMaster. What is the difference between their watches and the ones made by Clean and VS? The watches made by Gold Factory are much heavier, which have a closer weight to genuine watches, that’s the biggest difference. Look at the rose gold Daytona posted below, it has a weight of 145 grams, and the last picture shows you all Rolex watches Gold Factory is making. Why this Daytona is heavier than the same one made by Clean or BT? Because Gold Factory uses tungsten steel as case material. The movement is Dandong 4130.
It has been a long time for me not to write such type of articles, some readers asked me to send them the best sellers list before they make decision on which watch to buy, so sometimes I am wondering that this list may be helpful to them, but it only works in the field of super clones. Actually I have written several articles about the best-selling replica watches in past years, but things changed, some replica watches that were very popular before now are not sold very well, and some watch factories have been closed and do not exist, today, I will write a review about the top ten best sellers of replica watches in 2023, although 2023 is not over yet, the result won’t change.
1.VSF Submariner 126610LV
126610LV is the Submariner with 41mm case Rolex has published, it is known as Starbucks among our watch fans. The replica watch was made and released by VS factory in 2020, now it is still a best seller in our market, many people will buy a 41mm 126610LV when they are considering a green Submariner. The movement in the watch is a super clone 3235, which is known as Dandong 3235, people buy the 41mm Submariner from VS factory mainly because of this movement, which is very reliable and has a low repairing rate.
2.Clean Daytona 116500 V3
A big difference between Clean and VS is Clean will continuously improve their flagship model, while VS does not. For example, the Daytona 116500 should be the flagship model of Clean, it is the most profitable watch of Clean, it is also the Daytona 116500 makes Clean factory to be the boss in the field of super clone Rolex. Since the release of the Daytona 116500 by Clean, the watch has been improved three times, even BT factory made this watch next, I still think Clean makes the best one.
3.VSF YachtMaster 226659
Published by VS factory in 2020, immediately became one of the best sellers and almost beat all other YachtMaster watches, people will consider to buy this YachtMaster replica watch first when they need a YachtMaster. The YachtMaster 226659 has a 42mm case that is made with 316F stainless steel, not 904L stainless steel like being claimed by other dealers. The replica YachtMaster 226659 is equipped with a Dandong 3235 movement. Because the big hotness of the Dandong 3235 movement at that time, many customers wanted to buy this YachtMaster from VS, but this watch was often out of stock, so, somebody noticed this and assembled a team, then started to sell this replica YachtMaster watch, the team was called JVS.
4.Clean Daytona 116519
Like the other Daytonas made by Clean, this Daytona 116519 is also made with 904L stainless steel and uses the super clone 4130 movement, which is also known as Dandong 4130. This Daytona 116519 has a gray dial and is equipped with one pair of black rubber straps. Seeing from the sales record, a lot of people like this grey Daytona more than other models. By the way, for the length of the rubber band, Clean offers different length combinations for various wrist size.
5.Clean Datejust Wimbledon
Published by Clean factory in 2022, this Wimbledon Datejust has a ringing name. This is a Datejust with a new face, tired of seeing pure black, blue or silver dial colors, try this Wimbledon green Rome dial. For 41mm Datejust, perhaps some people will advise VS factory, but in my opinion, the sunburst finish on the dial of Datejust is better on Clean. Dandong 3235 movement from VS on the Datejust is not a big advantage, I prefer the one from Clean that has a better dial finish.
6.ZF AP Royal Oak 15400
Royal Oak 15400 should be my first suggestion if you want to buy a high quality replica Audemars Piguet watch. It is also first watch I recommend if you are looking for a full stainless steel watch with masculine and robust design. Both APS factory and Z factory make super clones of AP Royal Oak 15400, I still suggest you buy from ZF even APS has released the latest V4 edition, because my clients who bought ZF 15400 have not complained its finish and movement.
7.Clean GMT-Master II 126710
Known as Batgirl, this GMT-Master II has a very similar design to Batman, Batgirl GMT has a Jubilee bracelet, while Batman has a Oyster bracelet, both have a black and blue ceramic bezel. The GMT-Master II has become the second flagship model of Clean because of the Dandong 3285 movement. Currently the best Dandong 3285 movement is only used in the GMT-Master II production line of Clean factory. But ordering a GMT-Master II from Clean needs to wait for more than half one month, if you do not want to wait that long, C+ factory is also a good option.
8.Clean GMT-Master II 126710BLRO
Known as Pepsi GMT, this GMT-Master II has a jubilee bracelet and a blue/red ceramic bezel. The case is measured to be 40mm in diameter and 12.1mm in thickness. Together with the Batgirl and Sprite, three of them are the latest GMT-Master II replicas Clean has published in this year. Clean makes the best replica GMT-Master Rolex watch, this is the truth, many dealers will choose Clean’s product as a base watch if they want to make a franken.
9.3KF Nautilus 5711
About Nautilus 5711, it is also one of the best-selling replica watches, the blue one is the most popular model among all Nautilus 5711 replicas published by 3KF and PPF. 3K Factory installs a super clone PP 324 movement in the replica, its case thickness is also the one that is closest to genuine watch, which is less than 8.5mm. By the way, inside the Nautilus 5711 by 3KF, you will never hear a big noise caused by the auto rotor, it can be fixed easily.
10.GMF Day-Date
Definitely a big dark horse in this year, GS factory firstly released the 40mm Day-Date with improved weight, and then GM factory followed the step. I never thought that Day-Date will occupy a position in this list, but it is indeed being sold very well, a lot of people have shown their interest in the updated Day-Date replica watch. After being improved, the weight of the Day-Date replica Rolex watch from GS or GM is very close to that of genuine Rolex. It is ok to buy that Day-Date from GM or GS, both have the same quality.
On this top ten list, you will find most of these replica watches are from Rolex, I am not surprised because the best-selling replica watches are coming from two main factories VS and Clean, even APS and ZF wanted to enter the field of replica Rolex, but not succeeded.
When talking about the YachtMaster 226659, it is one of the best-selling replica Rolex watches in recent two years. Genuine watch is made with platinum and solid, the replica is made with 904L stainless steel, there are still some people asking me if this replica can be made with solid platinum, I said impossible, if a replica uses solid platinum or solid gold, then it is a Franken watch, which is sold at thousands of us dollars. About the replica YachtMaster 226659, now every one thinks the best one is made by VS factory, although a lot of factories are making this watch. Clean, GM, EW and VS make it, I can not say which one is the best because every factory has their own advantages, but the one from VS factory is indeed the most popular, among Clean and VS, I think most people will choose this replica from VS, but Clean really has a better bezel, and the movement inside from Clean is also a good clone Shanghai 3235, which also has almost 48-hour power reserve.
Today, I want to introduce a new replica watch from Clean factory, it is also the replica YachtMaster 226659, but features a new dial, which is called Falcon’s eye. Genuine watch exists, you can find it on the official website of Rolex. About this new replica, now only Clean factory makes it. The dial looks special, the Falcon’s eye is a special material? Look at the pictures, they may be not obvious, but when you swing the watch, the dial will show you a special effect. That’s the only difference between it and the regular 226659 released before. The replica has a 42mm case diameter, it is about 13mm in thickness, the watch weighs about 120 grams, genuine watch is 160 grams, you can feel the weight difference when holding both in hands.
The ceramic bezel is bi-directional rotating and is satin-finished, it features high-gloss markers that form a high-contrast visual effect with the ceramic bezel base. The rubber band must be a big selling point on this replica, it has the most authentic construction to the rubber band used on genuine watch. And the movement inside is Shanghai 3235, which does not have that long power reserve like Dandong 3235, but Shanghai 3235 is still very reliable and stable because it has been tested for years in this field.
It seems that VS factory has focused on the production of replica Rolex watches, in recent two years, they have released replicas watches of Submariner and Datejust, now VS started to make replicas of other Rolex, this time, they released a Yachatmaster replica watch in rose gold. About their Omega Seamaster and Panerai, we know they were star products of VS factory before, now VS will not stop producing them but they also won’t prepare too many stocks at the same time, so now you need to wait for more days than usual if ordering Omega Seamaster and Panerai from VS factory.
About this rose gold Rolex YachtMaster replica watch from VS factory, its genuine model is an old Rolex whose reference is 116655, Clean factory also published a rose gold YachtMaster before, but not the same one, the one from Clean is the new model 126655, each has a different movement. I think VS factory will publish the 126655 replica soon because their clone 3235 movement is a big advantage upon other factories including Clean.
The case of YachtMaster 116655 replica is made with 904L stainless steel, there is a layer of rose gold coating, its gold thickness is unknow, but I am sure it won’t be too thick, the case has a diameter of 40mm and thickness of about 12.5mm. The bi-directional rotating bezel has a black ceramic insert and 120 clicks, rotating the bezel is not hard but very soft, just like the experience on the genuine watch. On the back of each lug, there is engraving of a very small icon.
Inside the replica watch, it is a clone 3135 automatic movement, the old 116655 from VS uses a clone 3135 movement, while inside the new 126655 from Clean, it is a clone 3235 movement. About the clone 3135 movement, there is no big difference as long as it is from big famous factory, for example, I won’t compare the 3135 movement between Clean and VS, also between VR and GM, they have very close quality, and because of the greatly-improved watch-making technology, the stability and accuracy of clone 3135 movement from each factory have reached to be in the same class.
Several weeks ago, I introduced the YachtMaster grey model made by Clean factory, it is a great YachtMaster replica whose quality can compete with that of YachtMaster from GM factory. Days ago, Clean again announced that the publishment of the blue YachtMaster and rose gold YachtMaster. The three new YachtMaster watches from Clean are equipped with clone 3235 movement and are made with 904L stainless steel.
Clean has released a lot of new watches in recent months, they are best gifts for us, besides the YachtMaster, they also bring us several Daytona new models, and the following pictures show you another Daytona replica watch they just made, stainless steel case with white Arabic dial, also with black rubber band. Now in the Daytona collection of Clean, there are a lot of styles for you to choose.
Just in the last weekend, I heard that VS made a big improvement on their 40mm Submariner Green Hulk 116610LV, what is that improvement? Perhaps you have read in those forums, many people must have helped VS factory to promote this in the forums. The improvement is made on the bezel, now the green hulk Submariner 116610LV from VS uses the latest green ceramic bezel from Clean, the bezel markers look bright silver, which is very close to the platinum tone on genuine watch. With this improvement, VS claims that their Green Hulk Submariner 116610LV replica is the best one in the market, better than Clean’s. Well, I do not think so, first, I have to admit that the 41mm Submariner replicas made by VS factory are the best in our market, but for the 40mm Submariner replicas, especially the Green Hulk 116610LV replica, VS factory’s version can not called the best one. I have one question, VS and Clean compete with each other, will Clean really sell the latest version of green ceramic bezel to VS?
The last surprise is APS factory just published the V3 edition of Royal Oak 15400 replica, dial color has black, gray, white and blue options. For 15400 replica, APS has a big advantage which even ZF does not have, that’s their super clone 3120 movement, which is not simply based on Miyota 9015 with extra plates. About the latest V3 edition, APS again made some upgrades, the most important upgrade was made on the finish of the case and bracelet, now the workmanship of polishing and brushing on case and bracelet looks more superb. The axis of the hand set now is upgraded to be solid. Now, the V3 comes out, compared with the ZF 15400, which one is the best? In my opinion, APS 15400 will one day become the best one in our market.
It is a great news to hear that Clean publishes new watches, well, this Rolex is not new to us, many watch factories published it before, such as AR, GM and JVS, but it is the first time for Clean factory to make a Rolex YachtMaster replica watch. About this YachtMaster II 116622, the best replica was made by AR, but this factory has been closed for a while, so for a long time people did not know which factory they should go for the best replica of this Rolex. Actually I recommended GM before, their YachtMaster is good, and this grey model from GM factory has been updated to V2 edition, which is currently the best one in our market. Now, the Clean version came out, I did not compare them, which one is better? I am not sure, but both are worth buying.
I just got this YachtMaster grey watch from Clean, it looks good, but how its quality when being compared with the one made by GM? I do not know. Everytime when Clean published a new watch, they will promote grandly, and a lot of watch dealers will also speak for their watches loudly, so this caused a misunderstanding that Clean’s is the best, I admit that Clean factory makes a lot of good quality replica Rolex watches, but I did not say that each one of them is the best in the market. I remembered one thing, a few people emailed me and said want to buy Patek Philippe Nautilus from Noob, I told them Noob did not manufacturer replicas of PP Nautilus, they did not believe and said some websites they found online can help them purchase one, I was surprised. Why did this happen? First, Noob had a very high reputation in the industry at that time, many people thought that Noob made the replica of every Swiss brand. Second, the promotion or sales network Noob has created in past years is very big, a lot of guys always thought that Noob’s is the best, some guys still think so today. Well, I think the popular selling of Noob watches in the past largely thanks to the biggest promotion network they create. Now, Noob was closed, and I do not want Clean to become the second “Noob” factory, but I see they are trying to, not a good news.
Clean likes to use these comparing pictures(GEN VS CLEAN) to show how good the replica watch is, are these pictures really able to show the difference between the replica and genuine? I do not think so. With one comparing photo (GEN VS CLEAN) of each watch part, there will be sentences in Chinese to explain how close it is to genuine, usually they only say good things, the purpose is to convince people in their sales network to promote their watches, usually you can not hear an honest evaluation about the replica watch when it was just released. I did not say this grey YachtMaster from Clean is not good, actually it is very good, but I am sure it is not as perfect as the factory said. By the way, the YachtMaster with blue dial from Clean will also come out soon.
In recent months, there are two popular YachtMaster replica watches in our market, both have a 42mm case diameter, one is 226659 stainless steel, the other is 226658 yellow gold. The two YachtMaster watches are latest models Rolex published, the white gold 226659 YachtMaster, about its best replica, is absolutely made by VS factory, VS published the white gold 42mm YachtMaster in 2020, but after the raid, they did not offer this watch any more, although the watch is not in stock, but you can place your order and wait, VS will assemble some pieces and release to the market once in a while, people’s need for replica YachtMaster 226659 always exists.
If you do not want to wait, I recommend another factory, which is GM. Yes, I know this factory very well, it firstly appeared in our market several years ago and only made GMT-Master replicas at the beginning, so, you know the meaning of the two letters of “GM” in factory’s name. Now, GM has grown bigger and made a lot of replica Rolex watches, except Daytona. The YachtMaster 226659 is also a famous work from GM, the latest version has come to V2. So, compared with JVS, EW or some other factories like WF, I more recommend GM if you are going to buy the replica white gold YachtMaster 42mm 226659.
About the second YachtMaster I am going to talk, it is the latest 226658 in yellow gold. Three watch factories are making it, EW, JVS and WF. Among the three, I only recommend EW, which is much cheaper. JVS makes this yellow gold YachtMaster, but I think their price is too expensive, and I do not like its name, why they advertise their products using the name of “VS”, they will mislead the customers, so you guys must be careful, some websites on the internet are selling replica watches under the factory name VS, actually they are not made by the real VS factory, but JVS. By the way, the yellow gold YachtMaster 42mm 226658 made by EW is much cheaper, but this does not mean the quality is not good. For all replica Rolex watches in moderate quality, I always recommend EW factory, a lot of people buy Rolex from them and few have negative reviews, their Rolex can also last for years, very durable. The following pictures show the yellow gold YachtMaster from EW. Certainly, if you are pursuing higher quality in case finish, you can wait for GM version, I think GM factory will make this watch soon.
Now, the situation here in our watch market is not good, although it becomes more normal than one month ago. There are main three problems people will encounter when buying watches, first, some replica watches that are available from big factories like Noob and VSF can not be bought now. For example, Noob’s 4130 Daytona and Submariner, VSF’s Submariner, Datejust and Panerai, now they are all not available, now you can not even find alternative factories that can provide those watches at the same quality. Fortunately, in recent days, Clean factory can provide us with some Submariner and GMT-Master, whose quality should equal to Noob and VSF.
The second problem is factories ship watches out very slow, they are afraid of raid, once you place your orders, it may take about one week or more for your dealer to get your watches from factories, sometimes need to wait longer.
The third problem is shipping, delivery to you, DHL and FedEx are not available, now only EMS or China Registered Air Mail can do, so shipping will take longer than before. Whatever, hope it get better soon.
Back to today’s topic, the replica watch I am going to show you is YachtMaster from GM factory, it is one of the best replica Rolex YachtMaster watches, for Rolex replicas, GM should be one of the few manufactuers that can still provide you with top quality Rolex in this situation.
This YachtMaster 116655 replica is made with 904L stainless steel, for every Rolex, GM now uses real 904L stainless steel, not like some factories that only claimed they use, actually not. The rose gold coating on the case is about 5 mils thick, evenly plated on the case. On the back, you can see the back of every lug has a small symbol engraving, just like genuine watch, about the polishing of case edges and such engraving details, GM watch master is very careful. By the way, the case thickness is correct, the same as genuine, only 12.5mm.
GM uses the new style dial, there is a tiny Rolex Crown logo between “SWISS” and “MADE”, now every buyer wants this new style dial, I think not a few factories use the new style dial, GM is one of them. About the inner bezel, there are full of engravings, including the individual serial number, each watch, even it is a replica, the serial number engraved there is unique.
The black rubber strap is a perfect combination to the entire style of this watch, the black rubber and ceramic bezel, they together are important complement to the rose gold case head, black and rose gold tone highlights each other and integrated into one piece. At last, check read the specification of this watch.
Movement: Clone 3235 Automatic, Decorated to Look of Real Rolex 3235 Case: 40mm*12.5mm, 904L Stainless Steel, 18K Rose Gold Plating Bezel: Black Ceramic Crystal: Sapphire with Laser Rolex Crown Logo at 6 Dial: Black Bracelet: Black Rubber Band with Rose Gold Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 30m
