Introduction: The Rolex Platinum Yacht-Master, model 226659, adds a touch of refined elegance to Rolex’s sports watch collection. Not as famous as some other models, it boasts a unique charm with its matte sandblasted outer ring and 3D engraving. Designed for the global traveler, it offers the functionality of setting dual time zones. This review delves into CLEAN Factory’s replica of this exquisite watch, evaluating its fidelity to the original in terms of materials, craftsmanship, and overall quality.
Material and Craftsmanship: CLEAN Factory’s replica uses 904L stainless steel, a pragmatic choice considering the original’s platinum case. Replicating the exact weight and feel of the original is challenging without using tungsten steel – a material not used by any factory currently. Therefore, personal custom modifications are required for an exact match, albeit at a higher price.
Dial Distinction: Setting itself apart, CLEAN Factory employs hawk’s-eye stone for the Yacht-Master’s dial, ensuring each piece is unique with its distinctive natural pattern. This choice is a testament to CLEAN Factory’s commitment to authenticity and individuality.
Movement and Functionality: While VS Factory opts for the Dandong 3235 movement known for stability and a longer power reserve, CLEAN Factory replicates the original’s functionality accurately. However, in terms of power reserve, CLEAN Factory’s movement slightly falls behind VS Factory’s.
Comfort and Wearability: Both CLEAN and VS Factory replicas come with quick-release straps and comfortable rubber straps, enhancing the wearability of the watches.
Conclusion: When comparing the CLEAN and VS Factory replicas of the Rolex Platinum Yacht-Master, personal preference is crucial. CLEAN Factory’s latest version excels in distinguishing a genuine product from a counterfeit. For those seeking a high-quality Rolex replica, CLEAN Factory offers a version that closely mirrors the original in a side-by-side comparison.
Final Thoughts: This review underscores CLEAN Factory‘s expertise in creating top-tier Rolex replicas, making them a prime choice for luxury watch enthusiasts. Stay tuned for further insights into luxury replica watches.
