Greetings to all. We did a real and fake dismantling comparison between the gen 4130 movement and the clean 4130 movement.

This movement has been in the market for many years, and it is one of the few Daytona chronograph movements that is known for its ultra-high stability. Of course, the price is also expensive. In order to let all of our watch lovers have a further understanding of the 4130 movement, so I specially made this popularization post.

Clean has been using 4130 movement for about a year. Comparing to the previous 4130 movement from noob, the movement has been polished and other accessories have been upgraded. It is called v2 4130 movement for short.

We carefully photographed all parts and found that some parts have slight differences in polishing. After all, the price of the movement differs by 50 times. But most of the accessories can be exchanged with gen. So there is no doubt that this is the best custom movement in the world.

We also took a video, which will be sent later. I hope you can feel the charm of this top replica 4130 movement more clearly from now on. See you next time~

terrific job - thanks so much.

One questions: the different chronograph wheel - does this imply to be more carefully with the chronograph use of the Clean 4130? ... I would assume so ...

Great comparison, thanks for taking time to share with us! Clones are improving all the time but to see the comparison side by side shows the precision Rolex uses in the manufacturing processes.

@CTime Honestly, you do the most detailed and useful reviews Ive seen. Thank you!
If you plan on doing more of these for other calibres, it would be epic.
Also would appreciate your opinion on whats worth upgrading, I see couple of parts that I would target, the rest is basically on par with gen.

It’s always sensible to minimise use of any Chinese clone chrono movement. My philosophy is, if you don’t have to use it… don’t.
