The Clean Factory has fully addressed the shortcomings of other factories in their 42mm 226659 Yacht-Master replica. Equipped with the 3235 movement and featuring a black Cerachrom bezel with unique textured engraving, this model also includes a detailed comparison between genuine and fake versions.
Comparison between Clean Factory 42mm 226659 Yacht-Master and VS Factory version:
We conducted a side-by-side comparison of genuine, Clean Factory (CF), and VS Factory (VS) models, identifying the following differences:
1. VS Factory’s case shape significantly differs from the original, whereas Clean Factory demonstrates superior craftsmanship in case construction, toothed ring polishing, and overall finish.
2. The rubber strap quality of VS is far inferior to that of CF, as Clean Factory uses a special titanium alloy memory steel insert in their straps.
3. The hands on the VS version lack dimensionality; moreover, the second hand center axle design is completely incorrect ❌.
4. The crystal (glass) on the VS model is too high and lacks proper beveled edges.
5. The curvature of the clasp on the VS version is insufficient, resulting in an inaccurate appearance.
6. Engravings on the precious metal case back are clearer and more three-dimensional on the Clean Factory model.
7. The date display font on Clean Factory exhibits a more pronounced ink-like depth and three-dimensional effect.
8. Internal engravings on the VS version appear relatively rough.
9. The round, square, and triangular hour markers on Clean Factory are more smoothly rounded and refined.
