Stupid Question: What does SS Clean Factory mean?

[blamonta]

I'm looking at a GMT Master II 126710 904L 1:1 Best Edition on Oyster Bracelet from PureTime. They offer the same watch for $50 less without the SS Clean Factory designation. In watching one of the hundreds of real vs. fake videos on YouTube the watch case was opened and there was some dust in the case. I'd like to avoid that and am willing to pay a few extra $$$s if it guarantees the 'works' will be dust and dirt free.

Does anyone have any experience or words of wisdom for a newbie?

Thanks for reading. I appreciate your input.

As an aside, do shipments normally make it without issues? What happens if the shipment is not delivered?

Replica watches are made in various Chinese factories. They tend to have odd, and often abbreviated, names - ZF, VSF, etc. "Clean" is one such factory.

"SS" usually refers to Stainless Steel."

You def came to the right place. The search here works really good and if you are looking for what factory does this better or makes a top rep, etc, there is a lot of info here.

I've made 3 orders in the last 6 months and all have arrived to the CONUS without issues. Just make sure you are ordering from a trusted dealer site. Incidentally all of mine were ordered from Puretimewatch.io and I had no issues. You can always PM puretime directly with questions here as well.

EDIT: To add to DrHack's post regarding factories, 3EF would be the factory name in the link above, along with Clean. IMHO the Clean Factory GMT would be the better buy, if you can source it, but that is only my opinion forged after a lot of research and owning a VRF 11670LN, ARF 11670LN and a Clean 11670BLNR (batman). If you keep digging and it's a rabbit hole but you'll find a lot of opinions, lol. I also believe Clean just released the 11670LN version as well (all black). Again, opinion only and good luck with the hobby and just always remember that they are never perfect. Go GEN if you want something close
