My first Daytona rep was the clean v3 116500 which I swapped out the crystal for a deep crystal. IMO it was NWBIG. The movement ran like a champ with the DD4130 workhorse movement and the aesthetics was perfect. I loved the pronounced subdials and the bezel which really popped out and gave it a saturated panda look. In the new model, the 126500 has more spaced out subdials and a ring around the bezel. It’s more refined and I have just ordered the SBF 126500 from trusty time. I’m looking forward to trying it on, the successor to my all time favourite rep. One thing that I possibly dislike (possibly because I haven’t seen it in person) is the refined aspect of the subdials and bezel. I’m someone who likes “in the face” kind of watches, and the panda 116500 really stood out. Now for 116520, I owned the gen version. What I loved about this piece was the silver subdials. With the metallic bezel and the silver subdials, the entire piece felt like it was synthesised. However it felt very plain and unexciting without any contrast. The 116500 still holds the first place in my heart, and I really look forward to trying the 126500. If I really love it, I’ll sell the SBF rep and get a clean version before they stop using DD movements. Otherwise, I’ll still sell the SBF rep and buy a new 116500 panda. Now this discussion has been all about the panda version but come and make your votes for Godzilla lovers too :)

Imo, the only thing keeping CF v3 116500 from NWBIG (when gen crystal is installed) is the bezel plating, I just wish it was more gen-like and didn't fade.

But given the models, 116500 takes the cake for me. 116500 with 126500 bezel would be the dream.

Edit: black dial only 💪

I think 116520 can be worn with dressy or casual outfits like denim or shirts, while the 116500 and 126500 feels less adventurous, more refined with the ceramic bezel.

When you wearing a Daytona or gen-alike Daytona, it doesn't really matter if you wear it with suits, jeans, football jersey or completely naked. Nothing goes against the look at all.

Hi there,

New Rep Rolex buyer here... I was doing minimal research on some Rolex Replicas that looked nice, and I found the Clean Factory Rolex Explorer 36mm to be very attractive. I was trying to find a reputable source to buy one, and I have already purchased my Replica Rolex last night. However, I am worried that I chose a wrong website. I am seeing a lot of threads of people saying not to trust random websites, and to go to a dealer on this forum website to find the best authentic Replica Rolex.
After doing my research, a lot of people claim that Clean Factory makes the best reps. So I googled Clean Factory Replicas and I came accross this website.
clean-factory.us/
Is this the real website of Clean Factory's rolex's? I have already purchased the following Replica from this website, but after looking online today, I am extremely worried I am not getting an authentic Clean Factory replica...
clean-factory.us/product/cl...k-dial-904l-steel-best-edition-3230-movement/
The link above is the replica I purchased through Paypal, keep in mind, this purchase costed me roughly $700. I contacted them on Whatsapp and Telegram after to learn more about the shipping process, and they said the following: (his telegram is JerryClean)
"Hello sir
Glad to hear you
This is Jerry from clean factory"

When I asked about the shipping process he said the following-
"After payment,your watch will be prepared with 7-14 days,during this moment,it will be inspected well for all the performances in our QC Lab,which has strict standards and professional procedures,to ensure its flawless.
Before we ship it,we will take pictures and videos of your watch for you.
The package will take 2-3 days to transit in HONG KONG,then deliver to your address,usually take 9 days."

I just need advice from others on if I am getting scammed. Should I chargeback if so? Where do I buy an authentic 1:1 Replica Rolex Explorer 36mm anyways? Does Cleanfactory even have a website? If so, what is it?

PLEASE HELP ME :(

That's a scam website.. Look at the TD section to find a seller to buy from. It's impossible to BUY FROM CLEAN. Only from TDs.

Can you open a new thread to talk about that? You are hijacking others' threads.
