Rolex GMT-Master II 116713 Clean Factory Review

Rolex GMT-Master II 116713 model is produced by Clean Factory with a solid 904L stainless steel case, standard case diameter and Dandong 3135 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.

This time the model released by Clean is the two-tone (steel-gold) GMT 116713. Since the first original mold sample was completely broken, we temporarily purchased a new one; Therefore, there may be slight differences in details. However, during the comparison process, I will make comparisons visually and in writing, and I will not ignore the weak points. Although there are differences in the details of the original version, there will be no major deviation in the overall workmanship. I will present each model from now on to watch lovers with this real-replica comparison method; If there is something missing, we correct it, otherwise we act more carefully. There will be a difference in the date font due to the version difference, I hope you understand this. Clean is extremely meticulous not only in the production of the ceramic bezel, but also in the dial font printing and date window. Due to page limitation, I will not explain them all one by one.

The entire 904L steel body is used in the case appearance; The entire case form of the GMT has been reproduced perfectly, the rotation feel of the GMT's bezel has been corrected, and the embossed crown effect on the crown head has also been revealed. The same 3186 movement as the original is used. The case back is also the same as the original; There is polished, brushed and brushed workmanship on the bottom of the case. The fit of the case back to the case is almost perfect. You can compare the gap between the crown and the case yourself. In the internal reflection (rehaut) section, the tail of the letter "R" in the entire series has been corrected and slightly embossed. If we were to be really careful, the underlying texture in the internal reflection part is not as thin as the original; The reason for this is the limitations of laser technology and equipment in the country.

Ceramic bezel font and depth. Ceramic bezel font detail comparison: In the triangular part at position 12, the top angle, bottom angles and pointed corners are all rounded; The same level as the original has been reached. Darkness-lightness in the font is only one side of the issue. In the original workmanship, the base surface of the inscription was processed in a way that was exactly 90 degrees perpendicular to the body of the inscription; The only way to achieve this effect is one-piece production with a mold. When writing with a laser, a number of problems arise, such as bent edges, rough substrate and edge breaks. The writing depth is the same as the original, 0.13 mm deep. Additionally, the edges of the text are rounded. The coating color is also digitally adjusted; Most on the market are pure yellow-gold, whereas the original is slightly reddish. It is much easier on the eyes, too.

Comparison of hour markers, square markers. (Note: in the new version, the hour markers are no longer low and with round corners; the overall height of the markers has been increased, their lines are steeper and more distinct, but there is still a slight chamfering on the edges.) Round markers and triangular markers are also produced with the workmanship described above. As for the hour markers, this is also an innovation pioneered by clean; Handcrafted signs with rounded corners were used for the first time in the mass production process. Additionally, Clean has always remained true to its original factory workmanship. While some parts of the original are not that perfect, for example the original Rolex lume has a very noticeable grained texture; Crystals and luminescent dots often appear, especially around the edges of the hour markers, as Rolex is after that perfect "ice blue" lume effect. Interested watch friends can inquire; Clean uses bgw9 and SL-blue here. The gram price of these two lume powders has exceeded XXX; In other words, what is filled is not lume powder, but rather "liquid gold".

Comparison of hour and minute hands. A lot of effort has also been put into the hour and minute hands: needle form, three-dimensionality, curvature, lume filling and central hub part; cone-shaped inverted triangular hub. You can compare the high light part of the scorpion; The light and dark surfaces are almost the same. It is clearly seen that its curvature and three-dimensionality are very close to the original.

Engraving part. The common method for the front and rear ends of the case where the strap is attached is laser machining or acid etching. After years of work, we have solved the "CNC" engraving workmanship unique to Rolex; The depth is deep enough and is accompanied by a glitter effect on the inner surface of the writing groove. Of course, the cost of this is obvious; literally equipped "to the teeth".

Dial surface font printing. Even when approached to this magnification, the font is smooth, with no noticeable difference in letter shape. Clean went the extra mile in every detail, struggling with the original until the end. As for the strap part, let's look at the image above due to the page. In fact, the answers to a few questions that everyone is most curious about when comparing belts are as follows: separate-piece links, steel color, leak-proof, maintaining the quality ar belt. Regarding discoloration, Clean two-tone (steel-gold) models have been on the market for over a year and there have been no complaints about widespread discoloration from any customer; Because PVD vacuum coating is used, not water coating. Resistant to oxidation, strong adhesion, high cost. So you don't have to worry about the quality.

The steel color does not leak. The steel color does not bleed on the side surfaces of the strap either. Whenever Clean deals with two-tone (steel-gold) or full-gold models, ensuring that the steel color does not leak is Clean's red line; This is the last stubbornness shown for watch lovers who are hesitant about precious metal watch models. Either you don't, or if you do, you make the best of it. However, it is not possible to really describe in words the cost and trouble behind this. That's why the two-tone (steel-gold) Submariner model was out of stock for up to half a year. The production success rate is really low. If defects occur in steel parts during assembly, they can be reprocessed and used; However, if a blister or scratch occurs while assembling the belt after the PVD coating, it can no longer be repaired and is thrown away directly. This leads to material waste and increased coating costs. This is why two-tone (steel-gold) or full gold models are XXX more expensive. Three-piece pods are used to assemble the pods; After coating, it is assembled and fits perfectly. While the single-piece link is directly CNC machined, the three-piece link requires three pieces to be put together for one finished link; The workmanship requirement and precision are also extremely high.
