Rolex Daytona M116515LN Clean Factory Review

The Rolex Daytona M116515LN model is produced by Clean Factory with a solid 904L stainless steel case, standard case diameter and Dandong 4130 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.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

In the photo, the one on the left is the original, the one on the right is the model with Clean Daytona rubber strap. There are a total of two identical version options of the original, and the difference is in the material: 18K rose gold and 18CT everose gold. They are both actually the same, only 18K rose gold has a higher gold rate, while everose gold has less gold rate. On the replica Rolex side, there is no such fine distinction; All of them use a single type of 904L steel, and with the PVD coating process, the same rose gold color value as the original is obtained. Currently, PVD coating can provide approximately 95 percent faithful results, and there is basically no color difference. Meanwhile, Clean coats the case, buckle and crown section as separate parts in the plating process; It doesn't cover the entire hour at once. Piece by piece coating, to ensure a better coating in all directions and to prevent steel traces on the bottom.

Dial and Hand Details

The part that Clean has made most faithfully this time is the hour-minute hands and the three chronograph secondary dials. The rose gold color on the hour and minute hands easily reaches 98 percent when compared to the original. There is not much problem with the three-color single body hour-minute hand structure, including the carved design of the central shaft section, as in the original. The patterns of the secondary dials, the plaque texture design and the metal edge work on the outer wall are also made very closely; This is truly Clean's masterwork. The general lume part of the watch comes from the hour markers and the hour and minute hands; When you look at it, its texture looks grainy, this is true lume processing. Phosphorus filler of Swiss origin was used as the material.

Black oiled dial, hour markers on the inner ring are the same as the original; The crown logo and English engravings are quite neatly done. The metal edges of the hour markers are machined with rounded corners, but there is a little color difference; So the rose gold color value is not processed very well. This is clearly seen in the crown logo and hour markers at 12: while the original engraving plays a darker rose gold, the Clean Daytona remains slightly lighter. If this detail defect on the dial surface is not replaced or improved in the future compared to the Clean Daytona original, installing a spare dial instead is also a solution; So it is possible to fix this defect with later renovation and development, no problem. If you don't like this Daytona, there's no need to buy it.

There is no problem on the printed dial surface; The overall fidelity and size arrangement of the dial surface are consistent with the original.

Case and Body Workmanship

As for the bezel, we certainly don't have to worry about the Clean Daytona compared to the original. Clean's ceramic bezels that we have received so far have always been made exactly to the original with the highest level of craftsmanship and quality control in terms of workmanship. The entire order and roundness of the bezel is presented perfectly. The hour markers on the bezel are oil-filled and colored with a stainless steel PVD coating. Currently, with this technology, we can use such rose gold or 18K gold watches in normal use for three years without discoloration or oxidation. There are no white edges at the junction between the sapphire glass lens and the bezel; In addition, the lens has a bulging structure towards the outside, it is not flat glass and it is not collapsed inwards. It is offered in three angles: glass, bezel, case.

The strap material used on this rose gold rubber strap Daytona is rubber strap. A year ago, the Clean Daytona V3 switched to a rubber belt with a memory steel plate inserted into it; It is both synchronized with the original and fits the wrist very well while wearing it, with high comfort. The buckle workmanship is again PVD coated, the crown logo is engraved, there is no pricking. The hour markers inside are also very good, there are no defects. Additionally, the buckle also has the ability to lengthen or shorten; You can research this, similarly, to use the extension function, you need to disassemble it with a pin and you can adjust it according to your own wrist size. As for the case back, there are some time markings and logos; Everything that needs to be is available.

Movement and Caliber Performance

The issue of mechanism is probably the issue that everyone is most curious about. Clean Daytona also uses the Dandong 4130 movement. We do not know how much stock of this mechanism remains at the moment; Only because the Daytona is a best-selling model, the production of this movement will decrease. Therefore, it is not without reason that the price of Clean Daytona and BT Factory Daytona is high now. Some people find it expensive and don't buy it; Someone else might find it expensive and buy it, it's perfectly normal. Anyway, that ends this section's comparison review of Clean Daytona vs the original. Overall the details are fine; The current color difference will be corrected in the future, we will see together. I hope this article was useful to you. We will share more detailed disassembly, real shot review and real-replica comparison in the future.
