Which one is better, V3 or V2+? Do not argue now, here I took some pictures between them to make a comparison, I can not say which one is closer to genuine, but you can asbolutely choose the one you like more. On V3 and V2+, they use the same material and movement, all specifications are the same, except the tiny color difference on the ceramic bezel, you can see from these pictures below. Even without UV light, you can see the red part of the ceramic bezel is brighter on V3, and uder UV light, the brighter red on V3 is more obvious and more transparent. Both versions are equipped with Dandong 3285 movement. Which one you like more? Interestingly Clean factory has prepared stocks for both versions, especially for V3, they have enough stock, no need to wait.
There are two replicas, one comes with an Oyster bracelet, the other has a Jubilee bracelet, both has a meteorite dial. The two replica Rolex GMT-Master II watches are made by C+ factory. Do you know C+? It is a watch maker in our market that manufactures good quality replica Rolex watches, including Submariner, GMT-Master II and Explorer. I do not remember when C+ firstly appeared in our market, perhaps two years ago, their most popular product should be the GMT-Master, how is the quality? It can not be compared with Clean GMT-Master, but C+ GMT-Master is also good clone, take this GMT-Master with Meteorite dial for example, C+ uses the same V3 ceramic bezel as Clean GMT-Master II Pepsi, and about the Shanghai 3285 movement C+ is using, it is also a very stable GMT movement that indeed has a longer history than Dandong 3285 movement used by Clean, in the earlier period when Clean just published replica Rolex GMT-Master II watches, they also used Shanghai 3186.
The dial uses real meteorite material, the dial is not directly made by C+ factory, but they absolutely know the source to get the dial, actually they got every watch part and assembled them together, most watch factories here actually do not manufacture watches, but they know which factory makes the best ceramic bezel, which factory makes the best dial, hands or case. Every watch maker can get this meteorite dial, but some big famous watch maker like Clean seems not like to use such bold dial design, several dealers in the market I know who do customized jobs on the replica watches sometimes sell such replicas with meteorite dial, so I suppose that C+ is just a watch maker rose from a single dealer, he has a small workshop and hired a person who assemble watches for him, after being assembled, each watch is pasted with a cartoon sticker on the case back like Clean, so some customers may have paid the price for a Clean GMT-Master, but their dealers sent them a GMT-Master made by C+, be careful, after all they look very close.
This is the new GMT-Master II watch which Clean factory published several weeks ago, this one has a two tone style, actually at the same time a full gold model was also published by Clean factory, today, we just discuss this two tone model.
From now on, for all GMT-Master II replicas coming from Clean factory, they are equipped with Dandong 3285 movement, which is the best clone 3285 used in replicas of Rolex GMT-Master II, together with the Shanghai 3285 used by C+ factory, these are the two movements I recommend for you to choose when buying a super clone GMT-Master II. By the way, I found two interesting things, first, Clean now frequently changes the cartoon figure on the sticker of the case back, it seems like every batch which Clean factory published has a different cartoon figure on the back, I do not know why they change it so frequently. Second, this replica Rolex GMT-Master has been available for two weeks, but on the websites of some TDs, you still can not find this watch.
This GMT-Master II 126713 replica is absolutely a super clone, is it worth buying? My answer is yes, but do not buy it now, you can wait til Clean factory improves it next time. Clean will absolutely improve its quality in future. I think the first improvement will be made on the bezel. This new GMT-Master II has a black and grey ceramic bezel, the grey color on the ceramic bezel of this replica must not be perfect, the color difference indeed exists, actually I think all GMT-Master II replicas made by Clean factory has color difference on the ceramic bezel, just two or three weeks ago, Clean just made the improvement on the blue/red ceramic bezel of Pepsi GMT. The movement is the best, but currently the bezel on this replica GMT-Master II 126713 is not, so my advice is waiting for the upgraded version, but if you like this watch very much, you can buy now. The gold plating every person cares about on the watch is good, each side of the golden links is fully plated with yellow gold.
Currently four factories are making this replica watch, they are Clean, GM, OW and EW, absolutely the best one is from Clean. The GMT-Master II from GM factory is also good, its quality is above middle level but does not reach up to super clone. If you want one at cheap price but also with reasonable quality, EW is an ideal choice.
Rolex GMT-Master II with blue/red bezel and jubilee bracelet, this replica watch was published by Clean about two years ago, in June of 2021, at that time, this Rolex GMT-Master II was equipped with a clone 3186 movement, although many sellers have told you it uses a 3285, but this is not true, the plate of the movement is engraved with “3186”, two years ago, Clean did not have the 3285 movement, so this was a big flaw on the replica GMT-Master II Pepsi with Jubilee bracelet at that time. Just weeks ago, Clean developed the Dandong 3285 movement, now they started to install this movement in their GMT-Master II replicas, so the big flaw was finally corrected. Check the pictures below, on the movement plate, it says “3285”. The V2 GMT-Master II Pepsi now is stock, Clean changed the movement to 3285, but the price also increases, all GMT-Master II with the new 3285 movement from Clean have high prices than before. I must say that the replica watches from Clean have too expensive prices, especially their Daytona and GMT-Master II, which are much more expensive than the ones made by Noob before.
In recent weeks, things are all about Dandong movements, which are Dandong 4130, Dandong 3235 and Dandong 3285, about Dandong factory, I do not know too much about it, I only know it is one of the oldest watch factories in China, now having been in this business for a few years, I know that Dandong movements have been used in many super clone watches like Clean Daytona, VSF Datejust and Clean GMT-Master II, then how about the movement? Dandong 4130 in Clean Daytona and Dandong 3235 in VSF Datejust have been tested to be very stable and accurate, they are two of the movements that have the fewest issues in this industry, Dandong 4130 movement now being used by several watch factories like Clean, BT and New N, while Dandong 3235 is only authorized to be used by VS factory, you can only find the best 3235 movement in VS’s watches. About this Dandong 3285, the bad news is that now ordering any replica Rolex GMT-Master II watch with this movement from Clean factory needs to wait for a long time, about one month, hope they can solve this issue soon, because a lot of fans want to order. By the way, it is said that the Dandong 3285 movement in the new V2 GMT-Master II has a 3-day power reserve.
Now in our watch market, not too many watch factories are making replicas of Rolex GMT-Master II, GM, GS and Clean are the three factories that make super clones of GMT-Master II Rolex watches. Among these three factories, GM has a long history, GS also makes good quality GMT-Master II, but both not as popular as Clean, while the prices of GMT-Master II from Clean are very high, especially the prices of the latest GMT-Master models like Sprite, Rootbeer and Batgirl. Usually for GMT-Master watch fans, I will recommend them the Batman or Pepsi, because these two models are the oldest and have a mature watch-making technology, but in recent two years, more people are interested in this two tone GMT-Master II or the Batgirl, that’s ok, after all some new features on the latest GMT-Master II are accepted by more people.
For the best replica of GMT-Master II, I usually suggested people buy from Noob before, now this factory does not exist, Clean is the factory I often advise people to buy from. In replicating GMT-Master II, there are two difficulties, the ceramic bezel and movement. First, the ceremic bezel color and the color transition should be made correct. Second, it is about the movement, whether a clone 3186 or 3285, both should have the same time and gmt adjusting as genuine watch. About this GMT-Master II in two tone rose gold style, in my memory, GM and GS made this watch, and it has been proven that GS version is better than that of GM, some clients bought it and said this. But I did not compare it with Clean version.
This GMT-Master II by Clean now is available. It is said that the ceramic bezel from Clean is the best in the market, this is true on green Submariner 116610LV made by Clean, I do not know how good the ceramic bezel on this two tone GMT-Master, although people have a high recognition on its black/blue ceramic bezel of Batman and the blue/red ceramic bezel of Pepsi. I did not compare the black/brown ceramic bezel on this replica GMT-Master with the genuine, but Clean has been specializing in making ceramic bezel for many years, I believe in the quality of this black and brown ceramic bezel. The brown color on the bezel is very close to the rose gold tone on the bracelet.
About its movement, the replica uses a clone 3186 movement, the genuine watch uses a Rolex 3285 movement, on the movement plate, it is engraved with “3186”, not 3285, that’s a pity for this super clone GMT-Master II, but Clean claims that the movement offers the same functions as real. About the GMT-Master II replicas from Clean factory, although they are currently the best ones in our market, but I think they are lack of improvement, it seems like Clean factory rarely made improvements on their GMT-Master II, we all hope they can upgrade their GMT-Master II in future, it is very necessary because they are selling GMT-Master at very high prices, the quality must meet their price level.
It has been a long time since my last post, I took a rest for 7 days, not sick, but it is our National Day holiday, I went back to my hometown and spent the holiday with my Children, wonderful days, yes, much better than living in Guangzhou, which is the so-called big city in China. I always have one question in my mind, what is the meaning of our existence in the world if can not leave our name in the history?
I did not introduce Franken watches before, I learned this world in the forums, more people talked about it before than now, a Franken Rolex is not a genuine one, it just uses some genuine watch parts, like this Rolex GMT-Master 116718 below, the watch is totally a Franken, it uses genuine bezel, dial, hands, crystal and date. I do not know if it is worth to spend a lot of money on a Franken Rolex, basically speaking, a Franken Rolex is still a replica watch, but it is much more expensive, usually costs around thousands of dollars.
Since I created this blog, only one people asked me about the Franken watch, I did not know where to get such type of watches, now I know a trusted source to get the Franken watch. A replica watch can not be so perfect even the best super clone in our market, so some people are seeking genuine watch parts to be installed in the replica, to make it look closer to genuine watch. A Franken Rolex must be built on base of a super clone Rolex from a big factory, otherwise it will be meaningless. A super clone Rolex has the most accurate case profile that is very close to the case of genuine Rolex, so genuine watch parts will fit the case on such clone Rolex. And a super clone Rolex usually has some flaws on the bezel or dial, like this GMT-Master 116718, the bezel markers and dial color are two obvious flaws on the replica, these two places can not be made to be exactly the same as genuine even on a super clone, so its bezel and dial were replaced with genuine parts. By the way, if you have enough budget, to use real 18K gold on the Franken watch.
I am happy today because I found a new watch and our life in Guangzhou will be back to normal soon, the COVID-19 broke out here half one month ago, now it is under control, it is lucky that all watch factories accepted orders during this period, and the shipping now becomes normal.
About the new watch I am going to talk about is a GMT-Master II, which was just published by Rolex in 2022. The GMT-Master II is totally a new face that features a black and green ceramic bezel, we also call the GMT-Master watch Sprite. The watch is left-handed style, well, you can wear it on your left or right hand, that does not matter, it is the first time for me to see a left-handed Rolex watch.
The replica GMT-Master Sprite is made by V9 factory, not the same V9 factory I mentioned before, the new V9 factory now has a new boss. The replica is made with real 904L stainless steel, two big features of the watch are its black/green ceramic bezel insert and the left crown. The case has a diameter of 40mm and is measured to be 12mm in thickness. On the black dial, the central GMT hand is in green color that exactly is line with the green ceramic on the bezel. There is a tiny crown logo between “SWISS” and “MADE” at 6 o’clock.
This GMT-Master replica Sprite model from V9 factory is a good try, its quality is ok, and the price is also very affordable, compared with those GMT-Master replicas made by Noob or Clean, V9 has their price advantage. But the problem is factories like V9 can not make replica watches with the best quality, which means that every detail of this replica watch is not in top level, so, that’s the reason why I always suggest you guys buy from replica watches from big factories, even they have higher prices.
Good news is that Clean factory is going to publish this GMT-Master II Sprite soon, maybe on May 10th. Yes, really exciting, we know the ceramic bezel on GMT-Master II is a big advantage of Clean factory, and they will use a 3186 movement in this GMT watch. And the bracelet will have Oyster and Jubilee options.
Now, Clean factory’s products have become famous all over the world, everyone who wants to buy the best replica Rolex knows Clean, some readers of my blog even found Rolex watches they like and asked me if Clean make them, that’s crazy. Clean’s Rolex represents the highest quality, but they do not make every Rolex watch, and currently they also do not make replicas of other Swiss brands. In this article, I will summarize all Rolex watches made by Clean factory.
I had no idea that there will be a forged carbon GMT-Master II, I only saw Daytona uses Carbon material before, however, this carbon GMT-Master II is not from Rolex, it is a DIW custom-made version, the watch looks very special and cool, full forged carbon in black color, it completely meets my favor. The replica here I am going to share pictures with you is made in our market, but by a factory which I do not know its name, an unknown factory, however, the price of this replica watch is very high.
In one of my previous posts, I talked one DIW GMT-Master II from JH factory, it uses a solid case back, but this one is different, it has a transparent crystal back, where you can clearly see its clone 3186 movement.
The DIW GMT-Master II from unknown factory uses forged carbon material on case, bezel and even dial, I think this is one of reasons for its high price, besides, the clone 3186 movement inside also raises its price, check the decoration on the movement, it looks nice, necessary engravings on the plates all can be found on this replica.
The case is made with forged carbon, the carbon texture is obvious, especially on the four lugs. Carbon bezel has steel 24-hour markers in matte color, which is in line with the black style of the entire watch. Case is measured to be 40mm in diameter and 12mm in thickness, I did not expect it to be so thin. On the black carbon dial, the most striking is the GMT hand, its stem is in fresh red color.
The band has a special design, its inner side is soft black leather, the outside is black nylon, this design makes the watch look cool, while still keeping its good wearing comfort. On the carbon buckle, you can also see “DIW” signature. By the way, if the replica watch has a solid carbon case back, I will consider to buy one for myself.
After I wrote several articles about Clean factory, many readers asked me about its GMT-Master II, is it good? Is it worth buying? And what GMT-Master II models they have? I must say that GMT-Master II from Clean factory is very good, absolutely worth buying. However, I can not promise that their quality is as good as previous Noob’s, I also can not promise you that Clean’s GMT-Master II is better than GMF’s. Just like I said before, the replica watch from every watch factory has their own advantages and shortcomings. What GMT-Master II models you can get from Clean factory now? Only two GMT-Master II models in stock, one is the blue/black ceramic batman, the other is the black ceramic 116710LN, both with Oyster bracelet. On some dealers’ websites, you may see that they are selling GMT-Master II blue/red ceramic 126710BLRO, actually this GMT-Master II from Clean factory is still not in stock, if you want to order, you need to wait for a long time.
Months ago, Clean factory announced that they are going to make GMT-Master II replicas, and published some watch photos, this action indeed attracted a lot of attention at that time, because Noob factory is closed and can not provide the best replica GMT-Master II any more, so these watch fans are expecting Clean factory to bring a perfect GMT-Master watch that is as good as Noob’s, Clean has prepared since last month and now published two models, however, I do not know their quality, but price is much lower than that of Noob.
This GMT-Master II 116710LN is not as popular as the Batman GMT with blue/black ceramic bezel, even more people prefer the latest blue/red GMT-Master rather than this one, I do not know why Clean factory arranged the production of this black GMT-Master first. Whatever, it is still a very good replica watch, I have no doubt.
Please check the specification of this watch below, and about its setting of time, date and GMT, they are all the same as genuine watch.
Movement: Clone 3186 Automatic, Hour Hand Adjustable Case: Solid 904L Stainless Steel, 40mm*12.1mm Bezel: Black Ceramic with Platinum Markers Crystal: Sapphire with Etched Crown at 6 o’clock Dial: Black, Superlumed, Correct Hand Stack Bracelet: Solid 904L Stainless Steel Water Resistant: 30m
