Rolex Explorer II 226570 Clean Factory Review

Rolex Explorer II 226570 model is produced by Clean Factory with a solid 904L stainless steel case, 42 mm diameter and Shanghai 3285 GMT movement architecture. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.

After Clean's new Explorer II was released, I obtained the first batch of Clean 226570 white dial model from all over the internet and I am sharing the real shooting process with you. You wonder whether the detail workmanship within the dial meets a certain expectation compared to the original, right?

When you hold the watch in your hand, it has reached a level of subtle, masterful restoration with its weight and texture. The feeling it gives; The case engraving has rounded lines, there are no noticeable defects on the strap, and the comfort of the chamfer part is extremely good. Generally, the original product has more delicate processing than the replica watches; but this time the machining and polishing workmanship of Clean Explorer II is truly flawless.

This is because the Clean Explorer II is manufactured 1:1 using 904L stainless steel material, the same as the original. The Clean Explorer is also based on the latest Explorer II model; The old Explorer II is the m216570 series. The difference between the new and old model can only be understood by comparison; But in the replica market, most factories produce the new m226570 series, the old model is less. We can distinguish it by looking at whether there is a small crown at the 6th position of the dial: if there is a small crown mark, it is the new Explorer II, otherwise it is the old model.

The diameter of the watch is 42 mm. The main purpose of its all-steel material is that it is one of the watches frequently used by outdoor explorers. It ensures that the watch is not damaged during bumps and impacts encountered outside; Especially the bezel is made of stainless steel.

Comparative advantages: What advantages does Clean 226570 have over the original?

What advantages does it have compared to the same model produced by competing companies? Let's analyze again around these two points. First of all, the biggest advantage of Clean's new Explorer II over other replica factories on the market is that it has the Dandong 3285 movement. This mechanism is the same as the one used in GMT; In this way, Clean Explorer II became the first Explorer model on the market with a power reserve of 72 hours. The mechanism used by other factories is Shanghai 3285 or integrated 3285; Their overall performance cannot reach the stability of Dandong mechanism. Even when compared only in terms of mechanism, Clean Explorer has an inherent advantage. Compared to the original, although the integrity and density of the movement are not 100 percent similar (no replica movement can reach the high precision of the Swiss movement), the power reserve and GMT function indicator are 100 percent authentic.

Compared to the original movement in terms of stability, the Dandong 3285 movement used by Clean Explorer has passed the test of time in previous GMT models. The stability of a mechanism is understood by testing it over time; Whether there are any problems or not, whether there are many or few faults - only watch enthusiasts can experience this by using it.

Second, the innate superiority of the Clean factory. Everyone knows that when buying a replica Rolex, the first choice is Clean; Simply put, Clean is the best choice for Submariner, GMT, Yacht-Master, Daytona, Datejust and Explorer. The sales of the same model produced by rival companies cannot be compared with Clean. So is this Clean Explorer; Before that, many factories released models earlier than Clean 226570, and although it may have grabbed some of the sales, Clean will still affect the sales of other companies after it is released on the official site. The overwhelming superiority of the mechanism and the meticulous workmanship in the details are always pluses.

The workmanship part directly affects the overall detail processing of the dial. Let's look at the bezel first: Compared to the old Explorer II, the bezel of the new Clean 226570 has shrunk slightly, and the size of the inscriptions on the dial surface has also changed. This time the Clean Explorer II is replicated with a 1:1 mold of the original; The hour markers and inscriptions on the bezel, their alignment, spacing distances and positions, and the placement of the inverted triangle inside the bezel are all produced 1:1 based on the original bezel. Using 3D printing technology, the laser markings of the original were taken as a reference and the filling was made with paint coming from a Swiss source. In terms of depth and paint filler amount, Clean Explorer worked without any overflow defects. The bezel does not rotate; It is equipped with a blue crystal high-transparency sapphire glass as standard, and the glass stands higher than the bezel. The word ROLEX and the special model number of this model are engraved on the inner ring; The text markings are clear, the crown logo at position 12 is right in the middle. In the time display section, Clean 226570 uses a metal frame and lume-filled structure. Fully hand-engraved hour and minute hands, solid center shaft; It has a very slight flaw compared to the original, but this is one of the common flaws of all market products. The orange hand structure is the GMT hand and indicates the time display on the bezel. The printed dial inscriptions are coated with 3D printing technology, clear and tidy; Having a space at the end of the text is only the original effect appropriate to the version.

Overall review: From outside to inside Clean's new Explorer II offers an impeccable visual sensation; In my opinion, the accuracy of the white dial is approximately 2 percent higher than the black dial. The fidelity of this Clean 226570 compared to the original can also reach approximately 95 percent; Essentially, the falsity evident at first glance has been eliminated. Considering that non-experts cannot distinguish between the real thing and the replica, it is definitely worth buying.

I hope my article was useful to you. I will share more detailed disassembly, real shot review and real-replica comparison in the future.
