Comprehensive Guide to Clone Movements Found in Rolex Reps

[dogwood]

dogwood, thank you for your kind offer to adjust the chrono hand, is it a lengthy process? Also if Im coming up to Van whats the best way to get in touch, perhaps send a message on RWI?
Ive also asked Jerry, the Clean rep, if he can send me a photo of the back of their 126500 showing the movement. I dont know if he will but if so I'll post it here. Im concerned he either made a "mistake" telling me the movement is DD4131 or has perhaps Clean just switched supplier to DD? Also in your opinion which factory makes the best 116500, is it Clean? I would check this myself but cant download the spreadsheet of best rep watches as Google has blocked my account, very annoying. Is it possible to get it from somewhere other than Google docs?

Send me a DM if you’re coming north.

Whoever Jerry is made a mistake. Clean 12-series Daytonas all use the sh4131. If Clean factory suddenly changed movement suppliers to Dandong for their 12-series Daytonas, they wouldn’t be keeping it a secret. There would be announcements everywhere if they made a change like that.

For 11-series Daytonas the “best” is probably Clean or BTF or somebody else depending on which exact model you’re looking at. there are fewer differences between the Shanghai and Dandong 4130 movements than there are on the 4131 movements; Dandong is still better, but the gap isn’t as large.

For 11 series I recommend VSF , same as CLEAN but VSF xtal and cheaper... is the GOAT now for 11 series in panda and gozilla.
