Clean Titanium YachtMaster 42 mm 226627

Rolex Yacht-Master 226627 model is produced by Clean Factory with a 5th class titanium case, standard case diameter and high precision automatic Super Clone 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.

Case and Body Workmanship

Coming back to the titanium YachtMaster 226627 produced by Clean, it is made entirely of titanium, so its weight is very close to the original watch. With the Clean tag on the bracelet and the plastic case, the replica weighs 109.6 grams; The original watch weighs approximately 107.4 grams. The replica is made of grade 5 titanium, it does not look as shiny as stainless steel, it is a little difficult to complete a very good workmanship on the case and bracelet because the material is very hard, but Clean does its job well. Please see the photos below; In the enlarged photo of the bracelet, some of the brushed lines appear rougher, but this is not noticeable from viewing distance. On the original watch, the brushing is also more noticeable, but I think each brushed line is the same thickness. I don't think this will be a flaw for this replica watch.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

On the bracelet, the engravings on the clasp are correct. But I found a small flaw on it when the buckle was closed. See the photo; The metal piece on the left stands slightly higher than the one on the right, whereas in the original watch they are in the same horizontal alignment. I don't know if all replicas of this watch made by Clean have this defect, or if it's just the one I have.

The thickness of the case is 11.89 mm, which is under 12 mm. Ceramic material is used in the tube of the pin that connects each link of the bracelet; Clean claims this was a feature on the original watch as well. The ceramic tube is highly scratch-resistant and the links remain firmly locked even after long periods of use, you do not feel the bracelet loosening.

Movement and Caliber Performance

The movement inside is a SH3235; A new version of the SH3235, which Clean also uses extensively in the Datejust. Clean said that this also has a 72 hour power reserve, but I stated in another article that this is not true. Anyway, since this mechanism is widely used by other factories, I think its stability is acceptable.

Bezel insert is black ceramic with matte finish; This contrasts with the glossy polish on the hour markers. The matte workmanship on the original is more prominent, while the replica is more refined.

General Evaluation and Conclusion

Overall, the workmanship of the Clean version is definitely better than the EWE model, but the price of the Clean is also much higher. Whether you buy from Clean or EWE, it will be the right decision.
