KR Factory 2025 Replica Rolex Oyster Perpetual 126000

KR Factory, perhaps many people have not heard them, I did not introduce too many watches from KR on my blog before, I thought their watches are not good. But this time, after seeing the new Rolex watches from KR, I no longer think that way, sometimes the replicas watches from not that popular factories are also worth purchasing.

The competition in Rolex field is intense, we all think only super clones from these big factories like Clean, VS and THB are worth purchasing, and have ignored the replicas from some unknown watch makers. Super clones are good, but prices are too high for most people, and super clones do not mean they won’t have issues in future. In this year, some customers already complained about the watches made by APS Factory. One case is that a customer bought a Richard Mille from APS and soon its crown fell out. Another case is that a customer bought a Day-Date from THB, but after three months, the movement had an issue because when the minute hand is at 12 o’clock, the hour hand is still in between 5:00 and 6:00. APS and THB are operated by the same watch company, they have published a lot of new replicas including Rolex and Richard Mille, they acted very fast, but I think there appears to be a decline in their quality control in 2025. So, in my opinion, sometimes super clones from these famous factories are not only your options, choosing a right watch from other manufacturers might work as well. For example, the replicas of the new Oyster Perpetual Rolex models published in 2025 from KR Factory are sold at much cheaper prices, but that does not mean they are not good.

For the new Oyster Perpetual Rolex replicas, KR Factory published five models, each has a different dial color, please check the pictures below. In my opinion, they make the dial color correct. KR Factory is the earliest watch factory to make the replicas of Oyster Perpetual Rolex, they made these watches before EW, Clean and VS. This time, KR puts great care into its work, the finish of the new 126000 replicas is very good, they also provide three different movement options for the replicas, Sea-gull 2824, Shanghai 3230 and Swiss SW200. SW200 is the best option, but Sea-gull 2824 is also very reliable and has a very good price. By the way, these three movements do not have date module, pull out the crown to wind, pull the crown out to the first clicking position to adjust time, this adjustment is the same as genuine watch. Besides, on the dial, the hour markers are brightly polished that look very high-end. The clasp has the same construction as that of genuine.

The black one shown below has a Shanghai 3230 movement inside.

Custom-made Replica Rolex GMT-Master Sprite with Meteorite Dial

It is my work. Do you like this watch? I got a GMT-Master replica watch from C+ Factory, which is CPlus that you see on the sticker on the watch. Made three changes on the watch. First, change the bezel insert with a black and green one. This is a new color combination on the bezel of Rolex GMT-Master, this ceramic bezel is the same as the one used on Clean GMT-Master.

The second change lies in the crystal. I replaced the sapphire crystal of C+ with the one from deep crystal factory, it looks more transparent.

The third change lies in the dial. Original watch from C+ comes with a black dial, I replaced it with a meteorite dial. I noticed that there are more than one factories manufacturing the meteorite dial in the market. The Rolex watches from some watch makers are using a default meteorite dial, whose texture does not look as good as the meteorite on this watch. Yes, you need to find a trusted source that could offer you a meteorite dial that looks more real with better texture.

Why choose a C+ GMT Rolex to do the work?

The GMT-Master II from Clean is too expensive, C+ has good Rolex GMT-Master with better price, by the way, the final watch we created does not exist in real Rolex, so, it is important to save money during this process but also can get a good quality replica.

THB Factory Replica Rolex GMT-Master II 126729VTNR Green Dial

If you do not know THB, you may think this is a new factory that has not been in this industry for too long, but actually this is a factory operated by the same team of APS Factory, in short, both THB and APS are the same watch company. APS Factory’s most popular watches are Audemars Piguet 15400 and 15500 as well as the latest Royal Oak Chrono 26240, if you ask me the iconic watches from THB, I have no answer, the Rolex Day-Date? It is good, but I think the price is too expensive. Maybe the most iconic watch from THB is still AP, which is model 15407. I do not know why APS opened a branch to promote their watches, the replicas made by THB are premium in higher quality? I do not think so, maybe the only reason to explain this is to avoid risk. In future, I think there will be a lot of Rolex replicas sold under the name “THB”.

After the release of new Rolex watches in 2025, THB Factory immediately announced that they will publish the replicas of the new Daytona and GMT-Master II, now the replica of the GMT-Master II 126729 is available now. In our market, this replica is also made by AR Factory, both watch companies have a very similar quality. Before, Clean has made the Sprite GMT-Master II that features a black dial, this new GMT-Master II has a green dial and is also left-handed watch, THB offers both oyster and jubilee bracelet options for this replica watch.

The price of the replica is high, but there is no need to doubt the quality, if you have ever bought a Rolex Day-Date from THB, you will know its finish is very good. The case is finished in high quality, brushing and chamfer polishing on the edge, this should represent the most high-end manufacturing level in this industry. The bezel insert is ceramic, which has half black and half green. The entire ceramic bezel is fired and formed as a single piece, the black and green color won’t never fade. The engraving of the bezel markers has the same depth and thickness as that of genuine watch. Big famous factories such as Clean, VS and THB all claim that the bezel markers won’t become darken during future usage, but I thik it will be slightly darken unless you take a very good care of. There is another great way to know if the replica you received is high quality or not, just check the bracelet in hand, if there is a big gap between each link and you feel a bit loose, then this must be a cheap replica. The bracelet of the THB replica should be in high quality.

The movement inside is a clone 3285, which is different from the 3285 from Clean. This 3285 used in THB GMT-Master II is also good, it just does not have a long power reserve like Clean 3285. I saw on some websites, the dealers said EWE Factory also uses the same 3285 as the one of Clean, this is not true. Currently the best clone 3285 is only used by Clean.

THB Factory Replica Rolex Daytona 126518LN Turquoise Dial

This Daytona should be the most attractive new model Rolex has published in 2025, many watch fans have been expecting a super clone watch coming from the factories, so far, some factories have made the replica watch, because Clean and VS still have not published this watch, so I suggest you buy it from THB Factory. There are other factories that also have made the replica of this Daytona, like TWS and APS, but I do not recommend, I do not know TWS, maybe it is a sub-branch of TW Factory that will only make Daytona replicas in future, about APS, this time, they published the weighted version, the weight is closer to genuine, but you need to be cautious when purchasing such a weighted replica watch.

We know THB and APS are the same watch factory. This time, THB published the Daytona with regular weight, APS published the Daytona with increased weight, this watch company acted in head of other factories. For the one made by THB, the replica is made with 904L stainless steel, there is yellow gold coating on the case, the case size is exactly the same as that of genuine watch. The logo on the back of each lug is deeply engraved, they are finished very well, look very clean and refined. On the Daytona from APS, to increase the watch weight, the case is made with tungsten copper alloy, and then being added with a layer of yellow gold, in this case, that layer of yellow gold is more likely to peel off, at that time, the watch will become ugly. While the yellow gold on the THB Daytona will not fade within three years. By the way, if you have ever bought the Day-Date from THB, you won’t doubt the finish on the case, it is very good.

The turquoise dial has a high quality clone level. All letterings, especially the red “DAYTONA”, have embossed font like the genuine. Every hour marker is filled with white luminous material and their edge has fillet polishing to avoid sharp corners. On the inner bezel, there is an individual serial number engraved exactly at 6 o’clock for each watch. Inside the watch, there is a super clone 4131 movement, different from the DD4131 used in Clean Daytona and VS Daytona, this replica Daytona uses a SH4131, but it is still very stable. Open the clasp, you can see all necessary engravings that are well finished. Overall, in my opinion, this replica Rolex Daytona from THB is a super clone, it is worth purchasing. you can also wait for the one from Clean or VS, but do not buy the weighted version from APS.

AR Factory Replica Rolex GMT-Master II Blueberry

Is this really a new model from Rolex? Many people said this is a new model from Rolex, but I did not find it on Rolex’s official website, tha’s strange, what is its reference? There is no review about this new Rolex watch on the internet, however, the replica came first, made by AR Factory. Do you still know AR? Many people think this is the same AR Factory as the previous one, actually it is not the same one, the AR closed several years ago is more famous and has the best quality finish on case and bracelet, the new AR Factory only produces Rolex, now their most popular models are the Day-Date with heavy weight, many watch fans are satisfied with their golden Day-Date and said they have the most authentic golden tone, they also make replicas GMT-Master Rolex, and this is the latest GMT-Master Rolex from AR, the bezel color looks like blueberry, this watch now is only made by AR.

Several years ago, I do not know the exact time when AR was forced to be closed, this was really a bad news, AR attempted to make the case and bracelet to be perfect, even today no factories are able to make the same quality case and bracelet, that’s the reason why people still believe that they are buying from the true AR Factory. Some people have earned a lot of money by just using this name. The same thing has also happened on Noob, which is a very popular watch maker but has been closed for years. A large amount of people do not believe that these two factories have been closed.

Back to this new GMT-Master Rolex replica watch, the bezel is ceramic and uses two blue colors, light blue and dark blue, the dial is also blue, I do not like this watch, it is not that classic like GMT-Master Pepsi and Batman, but this is a good replica watch, case is made with solid 904L stainless steel, it is measured to be 40.2mm in diameter and 12.3mm in thickness. The crystal is sapphire and you can see an etched laser Rolex crown logo at 6 o’clock in the crystal when observing at a certain angle. Everyone who wants a high quality replica watch usually will ask if it is 1:1 cloned, I do not think there will be a replica watch that can meet the “1:1 clone” standard, what does 1:1 mean? It means the replica needs to be the exact same as the genuine, no replica can achieve this level, including this GMT-Master Rolex from AR Factory, but it can make you feel the money you spent is deserved.

When will Clean Factory make this model? I have no idea. Clean will not make it in a short period, this factory seems to be not too active in this field, many watch makers have published a lot of new models since 2025, while the only new model from Clean is a Le Mans Daytona. This GMT-Master II from AR is equipped with a SH3285 movement, which is the newly improved SH3285, not old version. This movement does not have that long power reserve like DD3285 used by Clean, but its stability is acceptable.

Replica Rolex Day-Date 128238 with Swiss ETA 2836 Movement

The watch-making technology in replica watch industry has greatly been improved in the past years, however, watch fans never seem to be satisfied with the quality of current watches made by these factories such as Clean, VS, QF and APS, although these watch makers have tried their best efforts to make the replicas much closer to genuine than before. Let us take Rolex as an example, in the past five years, we have witnessed the big progress in making replica Rolex, in material and movement, there are obvious improvements, the prices also increases, a replica Rolex can be sold over 1000 US Dollars, this was unimaginable in the past. However, there is still a small number of people who are not satisfied with the quality, they are pursuing perfection. These people care the finish in the past, and once the finish becomes better, they now care the weight and gold fading issues. The Rolex Day-Date is in hot discussion today, the weight of the replica can be made to be very close to that of genuine, or even the same as genuine, but none of these factories, including QF, GM, THB and CBD, adopt the most ideal solution to increase watch weight, the weighted case will have issues during future wearing, we understand them, they are factories and produce watches in batch. So, someone may ask if there is a perfect clone Rolex with correct weight and Swiss movement, my answer is yes, if you are willing to spend more money.

I know some persons have been scammed by one online website when they are buying a true Swiss ETA Rolex replica watch, many of you guys know this website, which is a scammer in this industry, but there are replica Rolex watches with real Swiss movements in our market, if you have found a right person. Whether Swiss ETA 2824, ETA 2836, Rolex 3135, Rolex 3235, all of them can be found in the market, certainly, you need to pay a lot to get such a perfect replica Rolex with a real Swiss movement, especially the replica with Rolex 3135 or Rolex 3235 movement. It is easy to get Swiss ETA 2824 or 2836, but the Rolex 3135 and Rolex 3235 are rare.

About the weight, the best solution is to make the watch with solid gold, and this can also be done, but I do not recommend this way, it is too expensive, the Day-Date below in the picture is just made with solid 904L stainless steel, that’s ok. The golden Rolex Day-Date, whether you get if from GM, QF, THB or CBD, the gold coating will fade as time goes by, to prevent fading, you can get watch from them, and then do gold wrapping on the watch, which means adding real gold layer, this will really prevent from fading and this is also the best solution to make the replica have the closest gold tone. By the way, adding gold layer won’t cost you too much.

So, the best way to get a perfect golden Rolex Day-Date is to order a super clone from GM or QF, replace its movement with a grenuine Swiss ETA 2836, and then do gold wrapping on the watch.

Two beautiful Day-Date Rolex

What was the most popular Rolex watch in the past 2024? Day-Date must be one. They have been upgraded, especially the weight, also the movement becomes better. So many factories are making super clone Rolex Day-Date, but too many choices now, are you confused? I do not know how to recommend when people asking for a Day-Date, the Day-Date made by each factory has their selling points, sometimes it is hard for me to decide which factory to choose from.

For the Day-Date with cheapest price, you can choose from GM. THB is very hot, their Day-Date 40mm models and lady 31mm Datejust currently are very hot. However, THB only has 40mm Day-Date, no 36mm. The latest version of THB Day-Date has a weight of over 190 grams, but the bracelet has been added with extra links to increase weight, so the bracelet is too long for a lot of people, if you do not have a big wrist, you need to remove a lot of links, that will be a waste of money. After all, among these watch makers, the Day-Date from THB has the most expensive prices.

QF, many people thought this is a new factory, actually it is owned by GM. QF Day-Date is a bit cheaper than the one from THB, they have 40mm and 36mm options. QF Day-Date is heavy because they use tungsten steel and also adds more links on the bracelet. Check the pictures of the QF Day-Date below, it is a 36mm Day-Date, the weight is 138.2 grams, yes, the 36mm model is lighter, but the 40mm Day-Date can achieve 184 grams. On the bracelet, there is a sticker with “QF Gain Weight” words. The dial on the THB Day-Date below is green, which looks like a better fit for the rose gold than the other green on the 36mm QF Day-Date. Both QF and THB use a super clone 3255 movement that comes from Shanghai. I would like the rose gold Day-Date made by QF, the rose gold looks more authentic than that on the THB.

Q Factory V8 Edition Replica Rolex Daytona Le Mans 24 Hours

This Daytona is one of the best-selling replica Rolex watches in the past 2024, otherwise APS and Clean would not make the replica of this watch immediately after QF, APS version has been available for several months, now we are expecting to see the quality of the Clean version. Since 2023, many watch readers here have told me that they wanted a factory to make the replicas of Rolex Daytona with see-through crystal back, then Q Factory made the ice blue Daytona 126506 with 4131 in July, 2024, later their Le Mans Daytona 126529 came out, some watch fans bought the replica Le Mans Daytona 126529 from Q Factory, but the first version has an obvious flaw, which is the hour-chronograph counter set at 9 o’clock is actually 12 hours, not 24 hours. The movement inside in first version is actually a clone 4131, not real clone 4132, however, people still bought this replica because it is really a beauty.

Last time, Q Factory published the latest edition of this replica Le Mans Daytona, there are two versions, V8 and V9. V8 is a a version with regular weight, which has 142 grams, V9 is a gain weight version with about 175 grams. Both have stainless steel and yellow gold models. I only recommend the stainless steel one, the yellow gold model has color difference, seeing from the pictures below, the golden tone looks a bit weird.

On this latest version, there are two big improvements Q Factory has made. First, the movement. Now the replica uses a real clone 4132 movement that can offer a real 24-hour chronograph counter function at 9 o’clock, by the way, the movement is also known as Shanghai 4132, only Q Factory has it. I guess that Clean will also use this movement in their Le Mans 24 Hours Daytona that will be published soon. Second, the sunburst finish on the dial, on this V8 edition, we can see slight sunburst finish on the dial, not obvious, but it is better than the only pure black of previous versions.

My advice is you can buy the V8 edition, V9 is too expensive, no need to pay more to get it because V9 is added with two extra links to gain weight. But if you have a big wrist size, V9 is good, you do not need to pay extra money to get extra links and install by yourself.

Top Ten Best-selling Replica Rolex in 2024

The cheap Rolex replicas are being sold much better than those super clones, but here we only talk about these super clone Rolex. In this best-seller list, most of the watches are made by Clean and VS, both watch makers almost occupy the entire market share in Rolex field, and in 2024, they had a stronger competiton ever than before, especially in Daytona, the result is VS Factory has a trend of catch up with Clean, this should be thanks to the development of their Dandong 4131 movement in the new 12xxxx series Daytona. Now, let us see what Rolex watches will come in this list.

1.Clean GMT-Master II 126710 Pepsi V3

The GMT-Master II 126710 Pepsi with blue and red ceramic bezel has a super clone in the market, currently both AR Factory and Clean Factory make this replica, both have a high quality, but Clean has the Dandong 3285 movement inside, which is the biggest advantage, this movement is only used by Clean. So I always say Clean is the best source to get a super clone GMT-Master II Rolex, do not buy the heavy version of GMT-Master II in the market, price is high and not worth. The Pepsi GMT has two types of bracelet, Oyster and Jubilee.

2.VS Daytona 126500

The new Daytona from VS Factory, equipped with super clone Dandong 4131 movement, every one said it is a better movement than the Shanghai 4131 used in Clean, actually the Dandong 4131 indeed has a better decoration on the movement plates and auto rotor. Besides, this Daytona from VS Factory is sold at a cheaper price than Clean, I think it will be more popular than the Clean 4131 Daytona in 2025.

3.Clean Daytona Grey with Rubber Band

For the Daytona replicas with rubber band, this one is the best made. Clean Factory offers severl length combined option for the rubber band on that Daytona, customers can order according to their wrist size. For this Daytona, I do not think it still needs to be further improved. It is not necessary to buy the heavy version from APS or Gold Factory.

4.Clean Submariner 126610LV

For beginners who just entered this industry, if they want to buy their first replica Rolex, it is always a good idea to choose one from Submariner, Daytona and Datejust. This green Submariner is made by both Clean and VS, both have their own advantages, for the green ceramic bezel, choosing from Clean will not be a wrong decision. We all know that Clean was well-known for making the best green ceramic in the past.

5.Clean GMT-Master II Batgirl

With jubilee bracelet, the GMT-Master II with black and blue ceramic bezel is known as Batgirl. The replica made by Clean is considered to be the best in the market. The case is measured to be 40mm in diameter and only 12mm in thickness, which is the same as that of genuine watch. With Dandong 3285 movement, making this watch very stable and last for years.

6.THB Day-Date 40mm

This is the increased weight version of Day-Date replica Rolex watch, I recommend GM and THB. GM has price advantage, purchasing GM V3 is more cost-efficient, while THB Factory really has more amazing case finish and bracelet finish. The movement super clone 3255 from THB is also a big selling point.

7.Clean or VS Datejust

Almost all Datejust from Clean and VS are sold very well, you must have reasons whether you choose from Clean or VS, and not wrong. In the video, could you tell which one is from Clean? It is hard if you do not check their dial carefully.

8.GMT-Master II with meteorite dial

C+ Factory makes this watch, with a real meteorite dial and uses Shanghai 3285 movement. The meteorite element was used on Datejust, GMT-Master II and Daytona in 2024, and it was very hot, especially this GMT-Master II, many watch fans love it with meteorite dial. Some dealers also got a GMT-Master II pepsi from Clean Factory and a meteorite dial from a watch-part factory, then replacing the dial, this is better, because the Dandong 3285 in Clean GMT is worth spending more money.

9.Le Mans Daytona

This Daytona seemed to be very hot in the past 2024, Q is the first factory to make it, after that, APS produced, and just a few days ago, Clean Factory announced that they will also make it. Currently QF version is the best. However, all of them have one common flaw, which is the dial is not sunburst, many watch fans are still seeking for the one with sunburst finish.

10.Sea-Dweller Single Red

The best one should be made by Clean and VS. Before Clean making a further improvement on this watch in 2024, which is also the He Valve improvement, I think every one will choose the VS version because of its super 3235 movement. Like the Submariner, on this 43mm Sea-Dwller, I think there will be no improvements made in future.

For people who want to buy a super clone Rolex, I want my suggestion to be more simple, please follow:

To buy black Submariner, whether 40mm or 41mm, please buy from VS.

To buy green Submariner, whether 40mm or 41mm, please buy from Clean.

To buy 11xxxx series Daytona, please directly buy from Clean.

To buy 12xxxx series Daytona, please buy from VS.

To buy Day-Date 40mm, please buy from THB.

To buy Datejust, please buy from VS.

Day-Date Heavy Watch – which factory you should choose from?

Since the first heavy Rolex Day-Date from GM Factory, there have been a lot of watch factories making replicas of heavy Rolex Day-Date in recent two years, the competition in this field is crazy, every watch factory also claims that their Day-Date is the best one in the market, and the prices are more and more expensive. As customers, we are very confused, it is really worth to spend a big money on a heavy Day-Date replica Rolex watch? Which watch maker we should choose from?

Today, I will choose the Day-Date from three watch makers including GM, THB and CY as examples, to do a basic review on each, and tell you which one to choose from.

First, it is GM V3 edition. GM is the first factory that made heavy Day-Date Rolex watch in the market, in 2022, GM factory published the first heavy Day-Date Rolex, now in the market, there are two versions in stock from GM, V3 and V5. The following two pictures showing you the V3 Day-Date from GM. I think this is the Day-Date you should choose. The reasons? Not expensive and finish is good. V3 usually has a weight of 175 grams to 178 grams, which is still different from the weight of genuine Rolex, even not closer, but they are not that expensive like THB and CY. About V5 edition, GM sells this watch under a new name “QF”, absolutely what they did this is to get more easy money, upon V3, they only added two extra links, so the V5 has a much longer bracelet, but price is higher. I do not think it is necessary to choose V5, because V3 already has a longer bracelet.

GM Day-Date V3
GM Day-Date Weight

The following two pictures show you the Day-Date from THB factory. It has the bracelet that is the same length as that of GM V5, but THB Day-Date is about 195 grams, while GM V5 is about 186 grams. THB uses a super clone 3255 movement, which seems to become the main selling point, but I do not think there is a big difference between the GM 3255 and theirs.

THB Day-Date 3255
THB Day-Date Weight

Last, it is the Day-Date produced by CY. I totally not recommend this one, it is too expensive, I know THB already has a very high price, which is very close to that of Daytona, but the price of Day-Date made by CY is more expensive than THB, this is crazy. CY factory found a strange solution to gain weight, they make the links on the bracelet thicker, I measured the links, each is about 0.3mm thicker than the one on GM. This is not good.

CY Day-Date
CY Day-Date Weight

My advice for beginner is just choosing the V3 Day-Date from GM, with clone ETA 2836 movement. It has a more reasonable price, GM has been in this industry for years, the finish is acceptable.
