42mm YachtMaster 226659 Replica with Increased Weight: TED vs Gold

TED is a new name in this industry given by VS factory, actually it is a name VS used to publish their replica Rolex watches with increased weight. I have heard that Clean will also publish the Rolex replicas with added weight, now we expect to see what name Clean will use.

In the entire month of November, all attention is on the replica watches with added weight published by TED, APS and Gold, in next year, I think there will be a more fierce competition on these watches between VS, APS and Clean.

Currently TED only makes the YachtMaster 226659, Gold factory has published a lot of Daytonas and YachtMaster with rubber band, today, let me do a simple comparison review on the replica YachtMaster 226659 between TED and Gold.

There are three editions of replica YachtMaster 226659 you can buy, the first one is made by VS factory, which is a regular version and was considered to be the best in the past, the second one is made by TED factory with added weight, the third one is made by Gold factory, among these three watches, the one made by Gold factory has the heaviest weight, which is about 152 grams, but still lighter than the genuine watch.

Added with tungsten steel, the YachtMaster 226659 on both TED and Gold is heavier, but some people told me on the YachtMaster from TED, only the case back is added weight, while on the Gold Factory version, the entire case is added weight so it is heavier than the TED version. Well, because of the special properties, the case made with tungsten steel is harder to be polished, so I think this is the reason why TED did not add tungsten steel material in the case but only in the case back. On the case, especially on the lugs and case back of the Gold Factory version, its finish is not as good as that on VS YachtMaster.

The rubber band on the Gold Factory is also longer than that of TED. From the comparison pictures in hand, we can see some subtle difference, the rotating bezel also has a different feeling, on TED, the bezel is smooth, while on the Gold, you will feel a little tight when rotating the bezel.

By the way, the YachtMaster made by TED uses VS 3235 movement, while the YachtMaster from Gold Factory is equipped with Shanghai 3235 movement, which has a shorter power reserve than VS 3235.

At last, currently I do not suggest you buy these Rolexs with added weight, whether made by Gold, TED or APS, they are still being improved, when Clean enters this field in next year, I think they will improve the quality and there will be better versions.

Important industry events in 2023

GM Day-Date Blue

First, GM and GS published the Day-Date with improved weight at the same time. You might not agree, but I think this is the most important affair in 2023. In July, both GM and GS published the Day-Date replicas with improved weight that is much heavier than the models they made before, then these Day-Date became very hot, because of the high popularity of the Day-Date with improved weight, some factories started to use tungsten steel to add the weight of the entire Rolex watch, among these factories, some are new, some are old, sthe new factories that are doing this are Gold Factory and TED, the old ones are APS and QF, absolutely Gold Factory is more popular among them, and I think they will get a success, after all increasing the weight is also a big improvement in replica watch, many customers have complained the light weight. By the way, the appearance of Gold Factory and what they are doing will push Clean and VS to improve the weight of their watches, even Clean still has not taken steps, but I am sure they will do something in future.

GO JL Moonphase

The second big event is GF was closed, but fortunately this factory back to the business again with another name several days ago. The new name of this factory is GO. During the closing of GF, we lost some great watches such as the Breitling Avenger Blackbird and Breitling Superocen as well as Jaeger LeCoultre Moonphase. Hope they can bring us more good replica watches in 2024.

Clean Gold GMT-Master
Clean Dandong 3285 Movement

Third, it is the Dandong 3285 movement used by Clean factory. This is the best clone 3285 movement used in GMT-Master II replicas, we are lucky to see that Clean now has installed Dandong 3285 movement in all of their GMT-Master II models. There is a rumor in our market about Dandong 3285 movement, which is this movement was supposed to be used by VS factory at the beginning, but VS did not have extra time to deal with so many things after recovering from the raiding. Clean seized this opportunity, but they are not doing good with this movement because customers usually need to wait for a long time if ordering their Dandong 3285 GMT-Master.

Fully Gold Plated Links

Fourth, another big progress made in this industry is very important, it is about the gold plating, from the start of Clean 40m Two Tone Submariner, now on all high-end two tone golden Rolex replicas made by big factories, each link in golden part is fully plated with gold, in the past, you can see it is even stainless steel on both sides, now this won’t happen on the golden watches.
