Hello everyone, I am the editor of the Clean Factory official website. Today, I’ll review our latest Daytona featuring the 4131 movement, known for its precise Space Grey dial rendition. This model stands out for being virtually indistinguishable at a glance from the original, showcasing its remarkable quality. Let’s examine the craftsmanship in detail.
The Clean Factory Daytona exhibits a sophisticated cement grey hue. The dial’s radial pattern is strikingly clear, and upon closer examination, each line is meticulously defined, including the textures on the trio of sub-dials that boast prominent CD patterns. The newer model refines these elements further, with subtler track markings that enhance the overall sophistication. The tactile oil-based printing adds depth and a refined touch to the overall design. The crystal, a carryover from previous models, is prominently domed, and the bezel’s engravings are deep and precise, enhancing both clarity and legibility.
This edition is exclusively offered with a rubber strap, notable for its polished center—lending an elegant flair. The strap’s soft rubber is internally reinforced with a metal strip, rendering it one of the most durable and comfortable in the market. The clasp is finely crafted; the crown logo is seamlessly integrated, featuring sharp, readable engravings. It also includes a micro-adjustment feature, crucial for optimal fit and comfort.
The hands are flawlessly finished, devoid of any burrs, appearing robust and precise, enhancing the watch’s premium feel.
Randomly applied, the sticker on the back indicates a slimmer profile accommodated by the newer, thinner 4131 movement compared to the 4130. The case back engravings, including those denoting precious metals, are crisp and deep. The case sides boast a high polish, with perfectly proportioned dots—larger in the center and smaller on the sides—near the strap attachment, mirroring the original design accurately.
In summary, when deciding between BT and Clean Factory for a Daytona, the latter’s model unequivocally excels with its accurate color rendition and meticulous attention to detail. Highly recommended, this model epitomizes top-tier craftsmanship and fidelity to the original Rolex Daytona.
