How to distinguish the real Clean/Clean Rolex Daytona 4130 movement? What is the difference with small factories?

The Rolex Daytona model is produced by Clean Factory with an 18K thick gold-plated case, standard case diameter and 7750 automatic chronograph 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.

Nowadays, the parts quality of replica watches has actually increased slightly compared to the past (of course, the issue prices have also increased at the same rate). However, whether it is an original or a replica, when the name and brand value come into play, the product never operates with the logic of "exact value for your money"; When you get to the top level, maybe you pay twice as much and get half as much value. Let me give an example from the automobile again: Isn't the experience offered by a 200-XXX entry-level luxury brand much better than that of a 100 thousand? But a car worth 1 million offers a very limited improvement over a car worth 800 thousand. The improvement and price increase in each tier are different; Everyone should choose according to their own budget.

Movement and Caliber Performance

First, let me talk about the Daytona version with the 7750 movement (it has nothing to do with the visuals). When you look at it in general or just from a certain distance, the 7750 actually doesn't look too bad; but the price of the latter is almost double that of the former! Let me state this, this 7750 version Daytona, which is considered to be well-made on the market, is, in my opinion, much better than the 7750 versions released during the JF and N Factory era; There are not many burrs on the hour, minute hands and dial, you get what you should get for this price. Whether it is good or bad, I do not comment; But I think it gets a passing grade in terms of price-performance. If you are not a real watch enthusiast, why not the 7750 version!

General Evaluation and Conclusion

Price-performance aside, there are still differences! When you get into the details, the difference is not small at all. I'm not even talking about the difference in mechanism; Everyone now knows that there are differences in matters such as the thickness of the 7750, movement structure and operation. Let me tell you about the appearance. Regarding the color to the eye, manufacturers such as Clean have the money to buy original watches for color work, so the color looks more like a champagne tone. This is not very obvious when taken with a phone, but a few degrees of color difference can still be seen with the naked eye. There is also the issue of color permanence, which I find very important! For example, the Clean side claims to coat with the highest quality PVD process. The quality of coating workmanship also varies depending on its quality; Good plating workmanship is much more reliable than the gold plating of those chaotic little workshops. Lately, we do not recommend gold plating to customers; The name of gold plating sounds good, but if the workmanship is not sufficient, it is still the same disappointment, and it is also difficult to get after-sales support from the party doing the work. The coating workmanship of these behind-the-scenes manufacturers that the 7750 represents will definitely be worse. Let me say in one sentence whether the coating workmanship is good or bad: Clean is definitely better in terms of color permanence! Here I will harshly criticize N Factory's 4130 Daytona from back in the day. At that time, the problem had not yet emerged, 4130 was only available on the market from N Factory, and for a while the coating workmanship was infuriatingly bad! Unbelievable, but when kept in stock, even its color changed after two months; Complete garbage quality control, a business that knows no limits for the sake of profit!

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

In terms of belt workmanship, expensive manufacturers allocate more cost to details. For example, in this type of steel-gold (two-tone) bracelet, white is not visible from the side on the Clean side, everything is covered with gold color. Cheap workshops, on the other hand, did not disassemble and dye each pod one by one in order to increase production efficiency and reduce costs; White, that is, uncoated steel, is visible through the gaps between each link of the bracelet.

The same goes for the buckle; Cheap manufacturers also minimize the color on the back of the buckle as much as possible; most people do not notice such details. Let me give you an idea of ​​the cost of the belt: for example, if you wanted to buy a Clean belt alone, its price would be maybe XXX if the manufacturer was willing to sell it; Buying the 7750 type manufacturers' belt alone can be done by two-XXX.

The same problem applies to the inner buckle. Taking Clean as an example above, I explained where the price difference between the big factory and the small factory comes from; The production costs of the mechanism, case set and similar items are different. In terms of profit, manufacturers like Clean are definitely the highest; After all, when you make a name, comes the power to set prices. However, no one should handle this matter too closely. There are many products from top-notch manufacturers; I hope the Daytona I take as an example today will give you all an idea. This price difference also causes some people to turn to heart selling, selling cheap products as expensive. I hope this article will be useful to you.
