Hello everyone, this is Steve and I'm back!

As the title says, let's get started!

Indoor and outdoor mobile phone pictures​

By repeated comparison with the object, clean dial colour is closest to GEN! VR, GM seems darker and in poor light VR looks like purple. The CS is too bright blue.

Bezel Side View​

The surface of the VR is too grainy, and the other three factories are not bad!

Crystal Side View​

The chamfering of GM's glass edge is very good, almost the same as the original! Although Clean has been done, it is too obvious! The effect of VR and CS processing is almost invisible.

Teeth Side View
There is no problem with the shape of the teeth, but the VR has a horizontal brushed pattern! It's doing it wrong here.

In addition, it can be clearly seen that the CS bezel and the side of the case are too tight, and there is almost no gap. Maybe it is an assembly problem and this has yet to be confirmed!

From the perspective of the second picture, the structure and grinding treatment under the bezel of GM and CS are somewhat different from GEN. Clean is very close to GEN, followed by VR. However, there is a problem with Clean in the section below the teeth—— there are very clear horizontal lines!

bezel font View​

Clean, GM, and CS all have the edge chamfering of numbers and scale bars, but Clean handles the details and the inner corner of the digital logo better, while VR almost does not do secondary processing.

Triangular View​

The triangle and small bar scale of CS are obviously too small!

For the chamfering of the triangle, VR did not do it, and the other three factories have different control of shape and distance! Combining these two data, I think GM is better! You can also discuss in the comments section.

Stick Side View​

Clean does the best in the overall shape and the smoothness of the chamfer, CS has also done the corresponding treatment, but the stick is too thick!

Luminous Filled View​

The graininess of all the factories’ hands is not bad, but the CS factory scale filling is too smooth!

From the picture, we can see that both Clean and CS have a three-dimensional sense of pointers. On the whole, Clean is closer to
GEN.

Oil font View​

Needless to say, Clean’s font shapes and colors are the best. In terms of flatness, color and thickness, Clean has done very well while other three factories have their own defects. You can look at the pictures carefully.

In addition, as mentioned at the beginning, the color of the VR dial is obviously purple.

Hands View​

Clean and GEN have the most similar axis shapes, CS differs greatly in both flatness and shape.

rehaut view​

The position of the rehaut crown of Clean and VR is aligned, GM and CS are a bit offset.

The engraving of Clean is relatively clear, and the font is closer. The other three factories still have room for improvement in size and font.

Calendar window side view​

Clean and GM's overall cross-sectional shape and edge are better, while the VR window is a little thicker, and the CS roundness is a little worse.

This is an eye-consuming job, I didn't spend the energy to see it, leave it to you! Guys who care about this can compare!

Backcase view​

This time, Clean finally solved the problem of the bottom cover. In other models of its products, the edge of the bottom cover teeth was a circle of lines, but the bottom cover of the yacht was gone!

Endlink side view​

In many previous Rolex model comparison posts, I said that GEN's endlink situation is not static, and there will be subtle differences, so I think you cannot care too much!

But overall, Clean is installed better in which the connection distance between the inner side and the strap is the best!

Movement view​

The VR3235 movement used by Clean, GM, and CS and only VR still use the VR3135 movement. This may be difficult to accept now. Perhaps the subsequent update of the VR factory will upgrade the movement to 3235!

Data comparison chart
Note: All watches are measured in a clamped state, and there may be errors due to the slight deviation of the position of the caliper. In addition, GEN intercepts the strap, and the factory has a steel strap protective film that has not been torn off.

Well, today's post is here, thank you guys for watching. If there are any mistakes, please correct me. If there is anything else I overlooked, you can put it up, and I will try my best to complete it. Welcome to comment and exchange!

I will continue to bring you more detailed comparisons between replica watches and GEN’s. And it is also for you to choose the favorite models conveniently.

Illustration: Some photos deviate from the real object due to the light source. For details, please refer to the content. The size of the comparison picture is relatively large, you can download it and enlarge it for comparison.

There is no perfect replica, only the one you prefer.

With ARF, the shape of the housing is wrong when viewed from the side. CF's Yachtmaster feels like you've got the gene on your arm!

The Rolex Original bezel on the Yachtmaster is the same shade as CF.

For now, Clean is the clear winner, but that makes sense, because the later has to do better! If it is to be forced to get better, then a new competitor must emerge!
