Currently Clean is still the king in the replica Rolex Daytona field in this industry, but I think now VS has the ability to challenge its dominance, for the 1165xx series Daytona, VS factory has published four models, they are 116500 Panda white, 116500 black, 116519 and 116518, these four Daytona replicas are sold at a much cheaper price than the ones from Clean. Like I said before, Clean is a good factory and they just seized an opportunity years ago during the closure of Noob and AR, now they have replaced Noob and become the king in this area, usually in this situation, no watch makers can be a threat to them. But last time when VS published the replica 116519 and I saw its price, I think there may be a chance for VS to regain more market share, as we know, that Dandong 4130 movement has been supposed to be used by VS after Noob was raided and closed, but unfortunately VS also suffered from that raid.
For the same Dandong 4130 movement used in these four Daytona watches, the biggest advantage VS owned is their price, which is much cheaper, and VS also sends a card with correct serial and model number for each Rolex. To win the battle completely, I think VS still need to improve two places on the watch, first, on the dial of Daytona 116518 and 116519, Clean indeed does a better sunray polishing. Second, the crown buckle on the bracelet, its skelecton looks clearer and more tridimensional on Clean. In summary, Clean still has some places that are slightly better than that of VS. Clean has proper reasons to sell their Daytona at higher prices than other watch makers.
The Dandong 4131 Daytona is also a good opportunity for VS to beat Clean, as far as I know, only BT and VS are allowed to use Dandong 4131, I heard that Dandong 4131 movements do not have enough inventory, and will be authorized to be used only by BT in future, is that true?
