Hello everyone, I’m CH Watch Industry. I’m passionate about sharing watch knowledge, comparing replicas with originals, disassembling and reviewing, and guiding you on your journey into the world of watches, ensuring you stay on track. Today, Tao Ge’s review covers the new 41mm Rolex Oyster Perpetual series recently launched by Clean Factory. Clean Factory has already reproduced most of the 36mm Perpetual versions, and with this new 41mm release, it is evident that they are aiming to dominate both luxury and niche watch markets. The m124300-0007 model with a red dial has been particularly popular, especially among young people and women.
Why is that? The reason is straightforward. Rolex introduced the new Oyster Perpetual with colors like blue, green, and yellow, specifically appealing to a younger audience. Unlike the more expensive Submariner or Terrazzo models, the genuine Oyster Perpetual is more accessible for those on a budget. By releasing a youthful and stylish version, Rolex aims to capture the interest of younger buyers. It brings the idea of owning a Rolex within reach for many, and these colorful design elements have especially resonated with women.
The main reason is that most men typically choose Rolex models like the Submariner, GMT, or Daytona, with classics like the Datejust also being popular. To sum up, let’s briefly discuss market trends and why Clean Factory has decided to release a less mainstream model. The goal is to gain a stronghold in the market, allowing watch enthusiasts to recognize that Clean Factory’s official website consistently offers the latest in high-quality Rolex replicas, catering to both fans of popular and niche models.
Let’s take a quick look at how well this Clean Factory Perpetual aligns with the original. Given the dial’s simplicity, replication is relatively straightforward. The watch is crafted entirely from 904L stainless steel. What sets the Clean Factory Perpetual apart from other manufacturers is its fidelity to the original, as it’s created using a 1:1 mold of the authentic piece. This includes the curved shape along the side and the iconic eagle beak, which is rounded and polished seamlessly, free from any cuts.
Now, let’s discuss the bezel. In the Rolex lineup of “cold back” watches, the bezels for the Perpetual, Air-King, and Explorer 1 share a similar style. The bezel on the Oyster Perpetual is the most pronounced and thicker of the three. Its finish combines grinding and polishing for a smooth edge, complementing the brushed finish on the case. This process creates a distinctive two-tone effect. The design and craftsmanship align with the original, featuring high-transparency blue crystal glass. Notably, the glass sits slightly above the bezel, staying true to the authentic version’s detailing.
Now, let’s talk about the entire red dial, which is a key point of interest. Is it the correct version? Clean Factory’s official site confirms that this model was replicated using an original mold. Much of the effort went into perfecting the dial color. The process involved three rounds of adjustments: the first attempt produced a red that lacked depth, while the second achieved the correct hue. When compared to similar models from other manufacturers, Clean Factory’s Perpetual reaches approximately 95% accuracy in color matching—an impressive level of precision.
Next is the lettering. Usually, the lettering of other versions on the market is either too small or too bold, but the printing process produced by Clean Factory is just right. Rolex lettering is mainly large, and the curvature of the lettering is aligned with the plate. The small lettering is OYSTER-PERPETUAL aligned, neat and without burrs. The scale bar is flat-headed and has built-in luminous filling. The small details of the flat-headed rectangular scale bar are reflected in the small cutting surface, that is, the bar is not sharp, and the texture of rounded corners is polished.
The central axis of the hands and the hour markers are crafted from the same high-quality materials and using consistent techniques. The luminous filling, sourced from Switzerland, has a granular texture that enhances visibility. This covers the main aspects of both the exterior and interior of the dial. To get a closer look, you can view actual photos for specific details. Inside, the watch features a 3230 movement with a single-level adjustment function. Without additional complexities like date functions, this movement offers greater stability and a lower likelihood of mechanical issues.
The watch’s configuration details are primarily outlined in the blog, providing a straightforward overview. Although it’s not a men’s model, it makes a great gift for family members. With its affordable price and excellent value for money, it offers a budget-friendly alternative to the Submariner.
