Presently, the majority of watch factories remain on holiday, and the resumption of watch deliveries is contingent upon their return. This hiatus is attributed to a recent crackdown in our watch market, prompting watch factories to exercise caution and avoid potential legal implications. Despite the restrictions imposed during this period, some factories have dared to venture into producing new models, exemplified by the Clean factory. In the latest market developments, it has been revealed that they have recently introduced a replica of the Rolex Submariner 126610LV.
In the past, the pinnacle of quality for the 41mm Rolex Submariner replica was achieved by VS. Unfortunately, this factory was forced to close its operations in the aftermath of the raid. The uncertainty lingers regarding the possibility of their comeback. Speculation circulates, with some asserting that VS may choose not to return, having amassed significant profits. However, based on the prevailing circumstances, it appears unlikely that VS will make a comeback in 2021.
EW represents another factory in the realm of crafting replicas for the 41mm Rolex Submariner. However, their quality falls short of being the best. Additionally, concerns have been raised about the accuracy of the case diameter; although I haven’t personally measured it, reports from some individuals suggest that the case diameter from the EW factory may deviate from the specified 41mm.
Returning to the Submariner produced by the Clean factory, it is purported to be the preeminent replica of the 41mm Submariner currently obtainable in our market. However, due to the recent crackdown, there is a prolonged waiting period after placing an order. Clean factory offers both the black 126610LN and the green 126610LV variations of the 41mm Submariner. Crafted from 904L stainless steel, the case boasts a diameter of 41mm and a thickness measured at 12.4mm. A distinctive feature of the Clean factory is its exceptional green ceramic bezel, as it is renowned for producing the finest green ceramic bezel inserts.
It appears that Clean factory is aiming to establish dominance in the high-end replica Rolex watch market. However, the industry is facing more frequent raids than in the past, raising concerns about the sustainability of Clean’s operations. The uncertainty surrounding ongoing crackdowns adds a layer of complexity to the industry, making it more challenging than before. The future remains uncertain, and there is a looming question about whether Clean factory will eventually be compelled to close its store due to the evolving regulatory landscape.
