When it comes to replica watches, the Clean Factory has carved out a reputation for producing high-quality clones that don’t just look good on the wrist but also hold up under scrutiny. One of their most discussed recent releases is the third-generation Rolex GMT-Master II “Batman” with the black and blue bezel and the upgraded Dandong 3285 movement. So what makes this version different? And more importantly, is it really worth your attention? Let’s get into the details.
First Impressions: Classic Look with Solid Specs
The watch features a 40mm case made from 904L stainless steel, a material praised for its corrosion resistance and shine. It has the familiar bidirectional rotating bezel, allowing for dual time zone tracking—a practical feature for frequent travelers. On the wrist, it feels substantial but not bulky, and the overall finishing gives off a clean, balanced look.
A sapphire crystal with 2.5x magnification over the date window ensures legibility. The dial follows the typical GMT layout, but what stands out is the luminous fill: C3 Super-LumiNova that glows ice blue in the dark. The Mercedes hour hand and triangle markers at 6 and 9 o’clock feel right in place. Even the tiny laser-etched crown logo at 6 o’clock is present, a subtle nod to the attention to detail.
Under the Hood: The Dandong 3285 Movement
Powering the watch is the Dandong 3285, a clone of Rolex 3285 movement. It offers a 72-hour power reserve and features an independently adjustable hour hand. Unlike older clone movements, this one allows you to adjust the hour hand backward to change the date—just like the original. Day-to-day timekeeping is stable, with an average deviation within five seconds.
Mechanically, it’s well executed. From the decorated rotor to the engraved bridges, the layout has been carefully thought out. The movement also supports dual-direction winding, and the rubber gaskets and reinforced crown help achieve a 100-meter water resistance rating, though we wouldn’t recommend swimming with it.
Bracelet and Wearing Comfort
The bracelet is where things get personal. Clean offers both the Jubilee (five-piece link) and Oyster (three-piece link) styles. Both are solid, well-machined, and come with polished center links and brushed outer links. The clasp feels sturdy, and internal markings such as the 1NQ stamp add to the realism.
We found the Jubilee option especially comfortable, molding to the wrist without pinching. The easy link extension system is smooth and functional, making small size adjustments on the fly a breeze.
Aesthetics and Versatility
Between the black and blue bezel and the subtle sunburst effect on the dial, the watch has a strong visual identity. It pairs well with most outfits, especially neutral tones. The “Batman” color scheme is arguably more versatile than the more attention-grabbing Pepsi bezel, which might make this a better daily wear option.
Final Thoughts: Who Is This Watch For?
The Clean Factory Rolex GMT-Master II Batman isn’t trying to fool anyone—at least, not in the sense of passing for a genuine Rolex under a loupe. But what it does offer is a genuinely well-crafted, high-performing homage that doesn’t cut corners where it counts.
If you’re someone who appreciates Rolex design but isn’t ready to spend the equivalent of a car down payment on a watch, this model makes a lot of sense. It doesn’t scream for attention, but for those who know what they’re looking at, it’s a conversation starter. No hype, no gimmicks—just a thoughtfully executed piece for watch lovers who care about design, proportion, and mechanical integrity.
