This Daytona is one of the best-selling replica Rolex watches in the past 2024, otherwise APS and Clean would not make the replica of this watch immediately after QF, APS version has been available for several months, now we are expecting to see the quality of the Clean version. Since 2023, many watch readers here have told me that they wanted a factory to make the replicas of Rolex Daytona with see-through crystal back, then Q Factory made the ice blue Daytona 126506 with 4131 in July, 2024, later their Le Mans Daytona 126529 came out, some watch fans bought the replica Le Mans Daytona 126529 from Q Factory, but the first version has an obvious flaw, which is the hour-chronograph counter set at 9 o’clock is actually 12 hours, not 24 hours. The movement inside in first version is actually a clone 4131, not real clone 4132, however, people still bought this replica because it is really a beauty.
Last time, Q Factory published the latest edition of this replica Le Mans Daytona, there are two versions, V8 and V9. V8 is a a version with regular weight, which has 142 grams, V9 is a gain weight version with about 175 grams. Both have stainless steel and yellow gold models. I only recommend the stainless steel one, the yellow gold model has color difference, seeing from the pictures below, the golden tone looks a bit weird.
On this latest version, there are two big improvements Q Factory has made. First, the movement. Now the replica uses a real clone 4132 movement that can offer a real 24-hour chronograph counter function at 9 o’clock, by the way, the movement is also known as Shanghai 4132, only Q Factory has it. I guess that Clean will also use this movement in their Le Mans 24 Hours Daytona that will be published soon. Second, the sunburst finish on the dial, on this V8 edition, we can see slight sunburst finish on the dial, not obvious, but it is better than the only pure black of previous versions.
My advice is you can buy the V8 edition, V9 is too expensive, no need to pay more to get it because V9 is added with two extra links to gain weight. But if you have a big wrist size, V9 is good, you do not need to pay extra money to get extra links and install by yourself.
