Last time, VS Factory published the replica Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi, this is a big challenge to Clean, first, VS finally got the Dandong 3285 movement, from now on, Clean is not the only factory that uses this super clone movement, second, VS factory claims that their GMT-Master II is the best one and closer to the genuine watch, so today, I will make a picture comparison review on the GMT-Master II Pepsi between Clean and VS, let us see which one is better.
Bezel
The left one is from Clean, the right one is from VS, both are the latest version, the bezel is manufactured by the same watch part factory, it is the latest V3 ceramic bezel. No color difference on the bezel between the two factories. The platinum coating on each bezel marker has noticeable matte finish.
The bezel is bi-directional rotating. It takes me a bit more force to rotate the bezel on VS Pepsi GMT than rotating the bezel on Clean Pepsi GMT, and the bezel rotation on VS Pepsi produces a crisper sound. I think the bezel rotating feel is better on VS.
The ceramic bezel rim on VS Pepsi GMT is thicker.
Bezel teeth comparison. The top one is VS. The bottom one is Clean. It looks like the bezel tooth on VS Pepsi GMT has a smaller opening.
Crystal
This is the crystal on Clean. It stands a bit higher than the crystal on VS Pepsi GMT. The edge of the crystal has a more rounded finish on Clean.
This is the crystal height on VS GMT. On the edge of the crystal, its top has a rounded polishing, while its side has a beveled polishing that looks more obvious than Clean.
Check the edge of the crystal on VS Pepsi GMT, it has a distinct bevel.
Date
On the date magnifier, Clean has a blue AR coating, while VS does not have that.
The black date font seems to have a bigger size on Clean, please check the Clean watch on the right. I think the magnifier on Clean offers a greater magnification.
Hands
I did not take too many pictures to compare their hands, but I can tell you that Clean has a better finish on the hands, their hands are in higher quality. The hands on Clean have a rounded finish on the edge that makes them look more tridimensional, while the hands on VS look more flat. The minute hand tip on VS is more pointed. Please check the pictures below.
This is the tip of the minute hand on VS.
This is the tip of the minute hand on Clean.
The gap between the hour hand and the 9:00 hour marker is different, please check the two pictures I took below.
On Clean, the hour hand is closer to the 9:00 hour marker.
On VS, the gap is bigger.
About the color of the GMT hand, the red color of the GMT hand on VS looks brighter. Look at the picture, the left watch is from VS.
There are also differences on other parts between the two watches, but the differences are not very noticeable. For example, some people said the engravings on the clasp are much deeper on the VS GMT Pepsi, this is wrong, not much deeper, just looks slightly deeper. The finish of the bracelet is also the same.
Have you gotten the GMT-Master II Pepsi from both VS and Clean? If yes, please tell us more differences between them, this will help our watch fans.
