Rolex Yacht-Master Clean Factory Review

The Rolex Yacht-Master model is produced by Clean Factory with a solid 904L stainless steel case, 40 mm diameter and ETA 2824-2 caliber in accordance with Swiss norms 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.

There are currently three players producing the Rolex Yacht-Master watch: AR, EW and Clean. AR is on the side that acts a little looser; It used to be not bad, but it hasn't updated for a long time. Its movement is still converted from Seagull's 2824, there is no improvement in the details, the dial color is different from the original. But back in the day, only N and AR made the Yacht-Master good. After N was blacklisted — let me point out here — the current N is not the old one; The current N is an imitation of N, not the real N Factory. That's why most of those who loved Yacht-Master had to choose AR. When EW's Yacht-Master was released, many people turned to EW Yacht-Master, because the general workmanship and details of EW's Yacht-Master are not bad, the movement is again caliber 3235; It is considered good in terms of price-performance. But there is still a slight difference compared to Clean. So if you don't mind the details, you can choose EW; but if you care about detail, workmanship and want the best version, then the only option is CLEAN/Clean Rolex Yacht-Master. No matter which way you look at it, Clean is very successful with its workmanship and details, easily leaving AR and EW behind. CLEAN's dial color is adjusted to the color of the original, very close to the original. Additionally, the bezel has electroplating PVD white gold + anti-fingerprint coating; The bezel material has also been changed from ordinary brass to stainless steel. In other words, even if the bezel hits something, the plating layer is damaged and the underlying color is revealed, that color is the same as the platinum color. Moreover, the hardness of stainless steel is higher than ordinary copper material. Although the bezel of AR and EW is made of 904 steel and platinum electroplating high polishing process, its luster is still slightly different from the original. Also, the font on the dial surface is more three-dimensional in Clean; This is also a difference. As the mechanism, Clean uses the Shanghai-made caliber 3235, its function is the same as the original, and the mechanism is very stable and accurate.

Is the Clean Rolex blue Yacht-Master worth buying?

Now let me tell you about the workmanship details of the Clean Rolex gray Yacht-Master in detail. You can check the site for real-replica detail comparison; I have already done the relevant review.

Its general appearance is not much different from the original. The dial has a simple structure consisting of three large hands + date; The second hand is blue. There is logo information at position 12, date display function at position 3, and brand text at position 6. All hour markers on the dial are made up of Rolex's rod and round spike markers. At all hour signs with hour and minute hands

A subtle lume fill effect is used. The size of the Clean Rolex Yacht-Master is the same as the original, 40 mm; It suits many people's wrists very well. Its thickness is 11.6 mm, which is quite close to the original. Real 904 steel was used as the material and every detail of the original was reproduced perfectly.

Sapphire glass was used as glass; It is scratch resistant, difficult to scratch, and its transparency is extremely good. Also, the glass is slightly raised, like the original; The detail is handled very well. There is a blue coated magnifier at position 3 that magnifies 2.5 times. The bezel of the Clean Rolex gray Yacht-Master is made with two-layer workmanship: sandblasting and polishing. It is worth noting that, like the original, the entire bezel is made of platinum + stainless steel; The sandblasted part is 904 steel, and the raised part is platinum PVD electroplating workmanship. So its brightness is exactly the same as the original. The bezel supports bidirectional rotation, just like the original.

As for the details on the dial surface; The blue seconds hand and the blue English writings on the dial are essentially the same as the original, the workmanship details are quite fine, the writings are clearly visible. The texts are printed with oil print, have a very three-dimensional appearance, and the indentations and protrusions are in place. The filling of the lume dots is very full; no overflow or roughness.

The gray radial patterned dial is even more stylish; There is no burr feeling. Thanks to the blue coated magnifying glass, the feeling of transparency is complete. The history writing is also pretty centered; At a 45 degree angle from the 6 position, Rolex's small anti-counterfeiting crown mark is clearly visible. The 6, 9 and 12 hour markers are chamfered, as in the original.

Crown screw type; It is locked with a screw. The crown has a triple waterproof system with a three-stage lock; It is securely screwed to the case together with its triangular patterned case back.

The crown protection is integrated with the side case and can be used without any problems. The screw-down crown effectively enhances the waterproof function of the watch; There is no problem with swimming and diving in summer. It is necessary to be careful to lock the crown after use. Many details, such as the crown logo on the crown, are also very appropriate.

A closed case back design is used on the back; In fact, almost all Rolex models have a closed case back. CLEAN Rolex Yacht-Master's movement is Shanghai-made caliber 3235; This mechanism is very accurate and stable, its margin of error is also quite low, and its power reserve can reach around 48 hours.

The bracelet is forged from 904L stainless steel, just like the clasp. The bracelet is in the classic Oyster form; Its two sides are brushed and the middle is processed with high polished workmanship. The buckle has a double safety lock, like the original; The writings on it are clearly visible.

Let me also point out this: The Yacht-Master buckle code of factory C is currently E4F; It may change in the future, because if those C imitators remove this code, Clean will probably replace it.

As for the lume effect, there is no need to say much; The color is the same as the original, ice blue and there is no color difference. Let me point out that lume does not burn continuously throughout the night; how long its brightness lasts at night depends on how strong the light source is and how long it is exposed during the day; The effect gradually fades away.

The Clean Rolex gray Yacht-Master was shot in natural surroundings; It can be said that the similarity is over 95 percent. Let me also point out this: if you don't have an original to compare with, you won't be able to tell the difference at all; Because the color is set very close to the original, the workmanship details are also very close to the original, the mechanism function is also the same as the original; so it is very difficult to distinguish.

In summary: The overall workmanship and detailing of the Clean Rolex Yacht-Master is very good. The bezel is platinum electroplated like the original, the movement is Shanghai-made caliber 3235 and its function is the same as the original. Yacht-Master is also one of the popular models; Its design has a colder and more distant atmosphere, more suitable for the aesthetic understanding of modern people.
