Following our previous comparison, let’s delve deeper into the meticulous craftsmanship that sets Clean Factory’s Rolex GMT Master II 126711 Root Beer Bezel apart from the rest.
Visual Analysis of Clean Factory’s Root Beer Bezel: As shown in the images, there’s zero color deviation in the black section, and the brown portion is nearly identical, eliminating any suspicion of color manipulation. Authentic watch owners can verify this by comparing with the actual watch. The depth and shape of the numerals, as well as the rose gold electroplating, are impressively accurate. In the lower right image, the intersection of the two colors on Clean Factory’s ceramic bezel is seamless, crafted as a single piece rather than a composite. Achieving this effect required countless attempts due to the complexities of dual-color ceramic firing.
Unique Features of Clean Factory’s Root Beer Bezel: The intersection of black and brown colors aligns with the original Rolex GMT Master II 126711 Root Beer Bezel, where the line is curved rather than straight. As long as the brown intersects with the numeral 8 without exceeding the upper and lower bounds of the size 0 within the numeral 8 scale, it’s considered an authentic craft. The dual-color ceramic firing process necessitates meticulous attention to the ceramic’s shrinkage rate, a challenge even for genuine products.
Three-Piece Assembly of Clean Factory’s Root Beer Bezel Bracelet: This assembly, unique to Clean Factory, is challenging to craft, almost leading to its discontinuation. The advantage lies in maintaining the rose gold color even when disassembled, with significant wear and tear during assembly and polishing. The rose gold color is achieved through 18K vacuum electroplating, resistant to fading over time. After-sales servicing of the gold Submariner two years ago revealed no significant color loss, a testament to its durability.
Adjustable Engraving and Clasp Mechanism: The clasp’s engraving, opening force, and safety catch strength have been meticulously adjusted to ensure a smooth and “magnetic” closure. Haven’t heard of it? Experience it with Clean Factory and discover the unparalleled smoothness firsthand.
Engraving and Dial Details: The engraving on the case’s side and the hidden positions where the case connects to the bracelet reflect the authentic craftsmanship. Our goal is to imagine ourselves as customers, providing a product from their perspective, always focusing on quality without exaggeration.
Dial, Hands, and Luminescent Markers: The overall printing process mirrors the original, with the Rolex crown logo and English fonts closely resembling the authentic version. The Chromalight luminescence, known officially as bgw9 Swiss luminous, offers an ice-blue glow with a matte texture and crystal-like appearance. This feature, albeit unconventional, serves as a vital criterion for authenticity.
Conclusion: Yes, you read that right; even genuine Rolexes may not align their crowns perfectly with the 12 o’clock marker. It’s not a flaw but a characteristic due to the need to adjust the movement for the 2.5x magnification of the date at 3 o’clock. This showcases that perfection isn’t always black and white but lies in the nuances.
This concludes our in-depth look at Clean Factory Rolex GMT Master II 126711 Root Beer Bezel. The journey of horological excellence continues, and the next installment promises even more intriguing insights into the world of Rolex replicas. Stay tuned!
