Clean Rolex Oyster Perpetual vs VS Factory Perpetual Tiffany blue: Which is superior?

Comprehensive comparative analysis of the Clean Rolex Oyster Perpetual and Factory Perpetual Tiffany Blue Versus Which models: Case finishes, movement precision, dial details and production tolerances are examined in detail with Saat Detective expertise standards.

In the comparison images below, Clean Perpetual is on the left, VS Factory Perpetual is on the right:

This time around, Clean Perpetual has also just been released and, quite literally, it crushes every version on the market. The ones that are not really worth buying are TW Factory and KING Factory; The quality made by these two factories is not the high-end version. VS Factory, on the other hand, can be considered semi-high-end in terms of details, it is not exactly high-end Perpetual. If you ask what the high-end version is like, then naturally Clean Oyster Perpetual is the popular first choice model right now. Compared to the original product, it can reach a similarity of over 95 percent. VS Factory Perpetual, on the other hand, can approach around 85 percent in terms of appearance. But the most comparable part is the mechanism side; We can say that VS Factory's sincerity is still not enough, it has not reached the ideal state in everyone's hearts. When you look at the mechanism comparison, you will see that VS Factory can only be placed below Clean.

Let's first understand the comparison on the mechanism side. The original product carries the 3230 movement from the latest 32 series. The power reserve of this movement can reach approximately 70 hours. Since the Oyster Perpetual is a model without a calendar, it only has a two-stage adjustment function. Calendar watches such as the Rolex Submariner or Datejust have a three-stage setting function. In addition to being better than EW Factory and KING Factory in terms of appearance details, VS Factory Oyster Perpetual is also incomparable with any factory on the market on the movement side. The reason for this is that the movement used by VS Factory is the Dandong 3235 movement converted to 3230. But the most serious problem is that Perpetual, which is calendar-free, has a three-stage adjustment function. The Dandong 3235 movement has a 72-hour power reserve, but compared to the original product's two-stage adjustment, you'll be tempted to opt for the VS Factory if you're an obsessive.

The main reason for this problem is that although VS Factory is a large factory, it does not produce or purchase ready-made 3230 movement. In his understanding, this was strictly done to capture the market; After all, it is faster to directly install the ready-made 3235 movement. But having three-stage adjustment does not fully match the two-stage adjustment function of the original product. Clean Perpetual, on the other hand, used the 3230 movement, which is true to the original. Although it can only reach 40-odd hours in terms of power reserve, it likewise has a two-stage adjustment function. Compared to the mechanism, VS Factory Perpetual is a complete failure. But since Clean Perpetual was released, this watch has also boosted overall sales. Everyone still trusts Clean more; After all, the release of every new Rolex replica watch makes people want to buy it.

This Tiffany blue Perpetual that we are comparing this time is also a very popular model. The light blue color in the look is also quite popular. As for the dimensions, there are 31 mm, 36 mm and also 41 mm. Currently, both factories produce products other than 36 and 41 mm. There's not much to compare with in terms of size; The same workmanship and the same materials are used. It's a small issue that can only be solved by increasing the size of the replica mold. In the comparison other than the mechanism, the comparison between the dials is also very important. Because the difficulty of replicating this blue dial requires opening the original mold to reproduce it exactly in order to reach the condition suitable for the original. Clean Perpetual used exactly the original pattern; After the color palette comparison test was carried out several times, mass production was started when it reached approximately 98 percent.

When the color values ​​of the two factories in the image are compared, the difference between them is not very big. But when you compare the two watches in the real product, on the contrary, the Clean is closer to the color value of the original, there is almost no color difference. VS Factory's actual product has a slight color difference compared to the original dial. Then let's come to the craftsmanship of the hour markers. The hour markers in the original are also in the form of long bars. The corner rounding that Clean does is more subtle; The hour markers engraving made by VS Factory is a bit too rectangular, meaning it does not achieve the rounded effect. There is no problem with the lume filling placed inside; Nowadays, the lume work of large factories is done quite well. When we compare the two factories in the hour and minute hands, the similarity is approximately the same, there are not many details to compare; a normal hour-minute hand and center shaft structure.

The third comparison is the dial surface part. There is a difference between the two on the black oil printed dial surface. You can see that VS Factory's overall dial surface printing is thinner; This is a situation that does not match the original. The printed dial surface in all size versions of Clean Oyster Perpetual is slightly thicker; This detail is the dial surface that matches the original. This comparison can adequately reveal the difference between Clean Perpetual and VS Factory. Then the material used in the whole watch is 904L stainless steel; In the Rolex original, this is called Oyster steel. Currently, machining, brushing and polishing work in the appearance part is considered a normal process in large factories, there is no place to compare. That's all to say about the dial and appearance of the watch, there is nothing else to compare it with.

When it comes to choosing Clean Perpetual or VS Factory Perpetual, everyone already has a first choice. In terms of price, the differences are not very large. Well, this ends the comparison between replica factories in this section.
