1. Hands (Pointers)
The Clean Factory version of the Rolex DateJust 126334 replicates the iconic Mercedes-style hands with impressive accuracy. While the shape and proportions closely match the genuine model, subtle differences exist in the polishing finish. The authentic Rolex hands exhibit a flawless, mirror-like polish.
2. Hour Markers and Dial Scale
The large hour markers on the Clean Factory dial are crafted with high precision, mirroring the polished, three-dimensional design of the genuine Rolex. However, the edges of Clean’s markers are slightly less crisp when examined closely.
3. Crown and Engraving Depth
The fluted crown on the Clean version mimics the 18ct white gold bezel of the authentic Rolex but uses a platinum-plated steel alloy. While the sharpness of the fluting is remarkably close, the genuine bezel’s grooves reflect light with greater intensity due to the purity of its white gold.
4. Text Engraving and Serial Codes
Case engraving differences are most noticeable in the rehaut (inner bezel) and caseback. The genuine Rolex features laser-etched serial numbers with ultra-fine, consistent depth, while Clean Factory’s engravings exhibit slightly uneven depths and less refined edges.
Conclusion:
Clean Factory’s DateJust 126334 achieves remarkable fidelity to the genuine Rolex, particularly in dial aesthetics and case structure. However, nuances in finishing quality, engraving precision, and material composition distinguish the two. For enthusiasts prioritizing cost-effectiveness without compromising visual appeal, Clean Factory offers a compelling alternative.
