Rolex Air-King M126900 Clean Factory Review

Rolex Air-King M126900 model is produced by Clean Factory with a solid 904L stainless steel 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.

Let's especially mention the following points about unknown watches: When the Clean Air-King first came out, there were watch lovers looking for replicas of this model, but all of them were low-quality versions of small workshops; they were basically a synonym for cheap. Now with Clean Rolex releasing the Air-King, I think this watch will become popular models; This is about everyone's confidence in Clean crafting, which is now a stage that gives extra points. Whatever model comes out, as long as it looks nice enough and there is no big difference, it will basically be preferred. So let's see if this Clean Air-King is worth buying in its workmanship details compared to the original.

Case and Body Workmanship

First of all, the material used throughout the watch is 904L stainless steel; Rolex officially calls it Oyster steel for short, and there is no difference, so you don't have to worry about the difference in material.

Regarding the general external form of the case and its curvature seen from the side, the Clean Air-King is completely replicated from the original mold; Therefore, there is absolutely no problem in terms of size and thickness.

Everything is exactly the same, including the brushed workmanship and polishing on the case back.

Movement and Caliber Performance

On the movement side, the original is equipped with the latest 32 series 3230 movement; This super clone Air-King also carries the latest 3230 movement. There is not much finesse about the mechanism, it has a two-stage adjustment function, again without a date window.

Dial and Hand Details

As for the comparison of the entire dial, I think this black dial performs extremely well when we compare it from the color value of the dial surface to all the details, large and small. Although the original has a slight oxidation feeling, which causes Clean Air-King to not match completely, other workmanship details do not appear to be fake at first glance. On the contrary, it makes people more accepting of the replica produced by Clean Rolex. In other words, the entire dial is a very serious, decent watch.

This is a topic that will be addressed separately; Again, we are comparing the hour and minute hands of the original, but this small detail does not pose a big problem for Clean, it should be something that most people will easily accept. As for the center shaft side, originally the center point of the center shaft was hollow and the edge of the cavity was protruding. If we compare it with Clean Air-King in terms of shape, a 90 percent similarity effect is achieved.

Regarding the all-black dial, in the replica market we always advocate that every watch lover should prioritize the absence of color difference on the black dial; You don't have to worry about whether there will be a color difference on this dial or whether it will be obvious as a fake at first glance.

The white and green text printed on the dial is used after comparing it with the original and verifying that there are no burrs or roughness left. Apart from a slight difference in text color value, Clean remains whiter; The text color value of the original has a more oxidized feel. As for the clarity and neatness of the yellow crown logo and the overall green English writing, it's all fine.

Glass and Sapphire Crystal

The inner ring part can be seen through the sapphire glass lens; The font of the hour markers and the crown logo here are finished with standard workmanship. It is possible to distinguish the difference between high quality and low quality even from small details.

The material used in the Arabic numerals indicating the time and the inverted triangle part is metal edged and lume filled; In detail comparison with the Clean Air-King original, it is exactly the same, including the numbers. If you compare it with a magnifying glass shot, there is no difference in the clear and bright color value offered by the lume fill; Based on this point, we can say that there is no problem in Clean workmanship.

369, another name of Air-King, shows itself in the large numbers on the dial markers. The dial looks relatively complex, but its function is not; Still, it's a dial surface with quite a design feel. Then, coming to the comparison part of the green hour and minute hands, we can see that the metal color value of the hour and minute hands of the original has a slightly matte metal feel; On the other hand, the hour and minute hands color value offered by Clean Air-King looks newer. Frankly, if this were not an original Air-King, on the contrary, it could be considered a fake; However, Clean did this with a higher quality texture, right!

As for the crown section on the side, which is used to adjust the watch, there is a three-dimensional crown logo engraved on it. There is some difference at this point when looked at closely: the five-pronged form of the logo is relatively greatly elongated, whereas in the original it is fuller and less elongated. This is the comparison difference currently detected in the external appearance; Friends can refer!

Then, when it comes to the structure formed by the crown section, the relevant model number and logo are engraved on the inside. In general, the problem is not a big one, because it is not possible to see whether it is real or a replica at the knob of the crown. Therefore, there is no need to pay attention to such details.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

Then, when it comes to the comparison of the belt part, let's say it is a normal workmanship, quite common. Nowadays, if you cannot do belt work yourself, you can apply to a subcontracting workshop; This is a ready-made product, you do not need to develop and manufacture a production line yourself. Then there is the buckle part. Looking at the engraved text on the inside, you notice that the font of the original is large and in a flawed condition; Clean Air-King, on the other hand, does not have that many flaws because it has just left the factory. A truly advantageous distinction has been achieved based on the font of the original, and at this point, there are not many people looking to see if it is real or a replica, which is a different matter. If I just compare it to the engraved text on the inside of the original buckle, I like the Clean workmanship more; The font is neat and the spacing is also fine. That's it for the appearance comparison, friends can take it as a reference.

Finally, let me teach you how to spot the newest Air-King. You can look at the text 05 on the marking at 1 o'clock on the dial; Compared to the old version, there was only the number 5 in the old version, but in the new model it is written as 05. The second distinguishing point is that the adjustment crown on the right has two shoulder guards; The old model Air-King had a single adjustment crown. Both of these innovations are based on the original and have been replicated in accordance with the newest model. Yep, that's where his review for this episode ends. I hope this article helps you. We will share more detailed teardowns, real shot reviews and real-replica comparisons in the future.
