Clean has been closed for months, a lot of people are still seeking for their products, but if I say you can not buy a replica Rolex from the original Clean, do you believe that? Because I see many people say Clean Plus is the real Clean factory, I have made comparisons between their Datejust, there are differences, Clean Plus not really use all the same components on Clean. In last week, I heard a rumor that the real Clean factory has been back, please check the following watches, are you familiar with the sticker on these watches? It looks very like the sticker on Clean. But I do not think this is the real Clean factory. First, VS Factory’s Rolex replica watches are currently in short supply and high demand. In such a situation, many people looking to take a share of the profits will enter the watchmaking industry. The best approach at this time is to sell watches using the previous factory’s name or reputation. Second, Clean only made Rolex watches in the past, the new factory Victory, which pretends to be Clean, now not only makes Datejust, but also has the Nautilus 5711. Based on First and Second thought above, I do not think this is the real Clean. But their watches will not be bad, after all, the Datejust from them uses the latest DD3235 movement. If they are truly going to operate under Clean Factory’s name, they are unlikely to make the watch quality too poor.
With the closure of Clean Factory in this year, the biggest winner in this industry is VS Factory, a lot of Rolex replica watches made by this factory are so hot that demand exceeds supply, I am not sure if this is a good thing for our customers. For example, for the V2 Datejust and some gain weight Daytona models, after placing your orders with VS, you usually need to wait for longer than usual. VS Factory has made breakthroughs in several areas this year, one of them is the weight increasing watch-making technology is applied in more Rolex models, such as Daytona and Day-Date, last time, I introduced the V2 Day-Date from VS at https://www.wristwatchspot.com/2025/11/28/vs-factory-v2-rolex-day-date/, they include three models, white, blue and green. Today, let’s see more pictures of the green one.
Like I said in my last post, the weight of V2 Day-Date has come to 182 grams, this weight is acceptable to me and it is not much lighter than the genuine watch, I know there are other factories making Rolex Day-Date with a weight that is much heavier than this one, but it does not mean the watch is better if it is heavier, and sometimes it is risky to get a gain weight Rolex from a factory, because you do not know if the watch will have case issue of peeling off. Some factories even added the thickness of the links of the bracelet to increase weight, most of them have a thicker case. But for the V2 Day-Date made by VS, it is the one in the market with closest weight to the genuine, and the case will never have any issues.
The replica watch has a great green on the dial, this is the closest green color on this Day-Date model I have ever seen. The watch comes with a DD3255 movement, which is the only super clone 3255 in this industry and only used by VS currently. VS Factory developed two movements in this year, one is the 8806 used in Seamaster 300m, the other is this DD3255. The former is a bit controversial because a lot of people think it is not better than the previous movement that is based on an Asian 2824, but the DD3255, in my opinion, is very good and has a super stability, check the movement pictures I took.
Now in replica Rolex field, more and more customers are pursuing a weight that matches that of genuine watches, this trend was started by GM factory, and now being adopted by a lot of factories like AR, ZF, Gold, VS, APS, etc. Having been in this industry for years, I need to tell you that heavier does not necessarily mean superior, when choosing a super clone, there are many other things you need to consider, many of them are more important than the weight.
Today, I will introduce several Day-Date replica Rolex watches made by VS factory, VS introduced the Day-Date about two months ago, but at that time the V1 is just with regular weight, the new V2 has gained weight. The strategy of developing Daytona with gained weight is a great success for VS factory, now they want to use the same strategy in Day-Date, but will face the competition of GM, QF and RC, which I think are the best three factories that produce replicas of Day-Date with gained weight.
The weight of V2 Day-Date is about 182 grams, currently VS has published three models, white, blue and green, they are equipped with the latest DD3255 movement, which is now only used by VS. Like their V2 Datejust, VS claims that they also use platinum coating on the bezel of the V2 Day-Date. The case has been added with extra weight, but the case thickness does not change, which is still 12.1mm. Some other factories added the thickness of the case back to increase the weight, but their case thickness is up to 12.7mm, which is not good. I think VS Factory will do improvements on the Day-Date in future, currently if you really want a replica Day-Date that has the closest weight to genuine, I recommend the one from RC.
Here it is a brief introduction of the history of VS Factory.
In 2015, they made Panerai PAM 441, PAM 661 and Cartier Ballon Bleu. At that time, the factory made PAM 441 and PAM 661 was called KW. The name they used to sell the Cartier Ballon Bleu is V6.
In the end of 2016, the P.9000 movement from DD was born. They changed the factory’s name to VS.
In 2018, VS published the Seamaster 300 with SG2824 movement and the Seamaster 600 with 8500 and 8900 from DD. They had an automatic production line at that time. And in 2018, the factory started to become famous.
In 2020, the Submariner with DD3135 made by VS was born. The 41mm Submariner and Datejust with DD3235 appeared. 2020 was a golden year for all factories in this industry, they updated their watches very often.
In 2021, VS has been closed for a while.
In 2022, VS back to the business. However, it has consistently been at a disadvantage in its competition with Clean Factory.
Between 2023 and 2024, no big news from VS, but they brought the DD8800 movement and DD4131 movement.
In 2025, in July, after the closure of Clean, VS became the boss in this area.
For men who like luxury diamond Rolex, I think they can consider to buy this one I show below. This replica watch is a new model from VS factory, it just came out with V2 version, now VS factory has seven different models for V2 Datejust, in my opinion, the V2 Datejust is exactly the best 41mm Datejust in the market, you do not need to consider other choices.
This Rolex has a gray dial with diamonds, it is called ‘灰钻’, ‘灰劳’ in Chinese, which is a homophone of two other words ‘会赚’ and ‘会捞’， meaning a person who is good at making money, also means he is going to make a fortune. So, after seeing this, do you think you need such a watch?
I introduced the V2 Datejust from VS Factory before, you can check at https://www.wristwatchspot.com/2025/09/27/vs-factory-v2-replica-rolex-datejust/. I said the most important improvements lie in its weight and bezel, but now I found VS V2 Datejust has much better dial finishes than the Datejust produced by them before, the sunburst finishes, dial color and finish on the edge of the hands, you can see they really have been upgraded to a very good quality level. Look at the dial of this gray diamond Datejust, there is subtle and even no color difference when being compared with the genuine. The sunburst finish is also very refined.
About the movement, it is the best DD3235, this movement was only used by VS before, now three factories are using it, including VS, Clean Plus and AR. I do not know how AR Factory got this movement, and AR also makes this gray diamond Datejust, but I do not suggest you buy it from AR. The best one is still made by VS, the one from Clean Plus is also very good.
After the closure of the Clean Factory, VS Factory did many works to improve their Rolex, on this Datejust, the clasp engravings are also upgraded, they are deeper, the engraved font looks exactly the same as that of the genuine watch.
My conclusion
For this gray diamond Datejust, the first choice is VS V2 version, the second choice is the one from Clean Plus.
About AR Factory, many people heard this name and still have an extremely good impression about it because the watches from this factory usually comes with the best case and bracelet, now this AR is not the same one as before, but the new AR still makes good quality Rolex watches replicas for us. Few people mention about them, this is good, it will be risky if a factory gets too much attention.
Before, AR makes Day-Date, many people do not know this because AR did not promote their products, I mentioned their Day-Date when reviewing the increased weight Day-Date made by other factories, actually the Day-Date from AR also has a similar weight to the genuine, also the golden tone looks very real, perhaps you guys only focused on CBD, GM, QF and RC, and forgot AR.
I do not know when AR wanted to make Daytona and how did they get the DD4131 movement. After the closure of Clean, many factories have taken fast actions, this is a good opportunity for them, also for AR. VS Factory also made upgrade in weight of their Daytona, now with the accumulated experience in making weighted Day-Date Rolex, they make the Daytona with a heavier weight than VS, check the picture below, it is 161.4 grams, which is the heaviest one in the market. As far as I know, the latest version of this Daytona from VS is 136 grams.
In recent weeks, I heard two news, first, Clean is back. Second, many movements are now made available to more factories. About Clean, this factory was closed, but there have been a lot of fans of this factory, they are still hoping that Clean will come back one day, but it is impossible, one factory that is in hot discussion in this field is claimed to be Clean Factory by some people, it is Clean Plus, while this factory is also not the same previous Clean, I made a comparison between their Datejust, the difference is obvious. The second thing is about the movements. Now a lot of movements have been authorized to be used by more factories, like previous PP324, which was only used by 3K, now DDF and BBF are also using this movement. The DD4131, which was only used by BT and VS, now ARF also uses this movement in their Daytona with gain weight. This is good for our watch fans, the competition between these factories will bring us more better quality watches.
It seems like the appearance of Clean Plus does not change the situation in the market, the Rolex replica watches from VS Factory, including Datejust, GMT-Master and Daytona, are always in a high demand, they are often out of stock because a lot of people ordered, VS Rolex is too hot that people usually need to wait. The marketing strategy of Clean Plus is that they use the same Clean watch parts on their Rolex watches, but if you have bought Clean products before and observe carefully, you will find this is not true, if you want me to choose between Clean Plus and VS, I will absolutely select VS.
About the movement, Clean Plus uses the latest version of DD3235, in Rolex from VS, they randomly use the old version and new version of DD3235, some people said the new version of DD3235 is more stable, this is not true, both versions have the same high stability.
Clean Plus currently does not have advantages when being compared with VS, especially in Datejust 2. The Datejust from Clean Plus seems to be more like the V1 edition of VS, while the Datejust 2 from VS Factory has been upgraded to V2. The weight of Clean Plus is about 128 grams, the weight of VS Datejust V2 is about 135 grams, the bezel on VS Datejust looks closer to that on the genuine.
Conclusion:
If you want to buy the best Datejust replica watch, VS is the best option. While Clean Plus also has a good quality. In future, I think Q Factory will also use the DD3235 movement in their Rolex.
I said Clean won’t come back before, but just several days ago, a news from the market said they came back, with a new name C Plus, some people said this is true, but I really doubt, I still remember that C+ is the competitor of Clean, they also have a name C Plus, so have they taken over Clean’s operations completely? Will C Plus make the same quality Rolex as Clean? Let us see what happen next.
The biggest beneficiary of Clean’s closure is its competitor, which is absolutely VS, VS Factory has been making Rolex for years and has gained a lot of fans, now many fans of Clean Rolex turn to buy the watches of VS, so now the Rolex is wildly popular that VS Factory can not keep up with the great demand. VS often updates their Rolex such as Daytona and Datejust, just several days ago, they published the V2 edition of the grey Datejust.
Actually before this grey Datejust, VS Factory has published the V2 edition of the blue one. VS mainly made improvements on its bezel and dial. The bezel looks brighter, some dealers said VS uses Platinum coating on the bezel, some said they just use Rhodium, but the bezel will keep this bright finish as always, its tone will not easily fade like before, the flutes on the bezel also look to be in more correct shape.
About the grey dial, it is as good as before, the sunburst finish is obvious and very delicate, the axi of the hands refers to the design of the latest genuine Rolex Datejust, , both hour hand and minute hand do not have burr on the edge even you observe very closely, two hands also have more rounded polishing than before, so do these hour markers.
By the way, the weight of the entire watch is about 133.5 grams, which is the same as the genuine watch. The replica watch is equipped with a super clone 3235 movement, which is the best clone Rolex 3235 movement in this industry. In a word, now if you need a super clone Datejust, the best option is VS.
Do not wait now, Clean Factory will not be back, there are no news about them in the market, this factory has been closed forever. In my opinion, Clean made the best replicas Rolex watches in the past, like many people thought Noob made the best ones before, but Clean has brought the quality of replica Rolex into another level, which is much better than that of Noob, it is a great loss for all of us. Currently in the market, VS should be the best alternative of Clean, but I still think the Rolex from VS is not as good as Clean in some details, especially the finish of the hands and markers. Will there be another factory can make super clone Rolex that has the same quality as Clean? I think we will wait for a long time.
When there be a new model published by Rolex, every one is waiting for a super clone from Clean, but now you start paying attention to other factories like VS, KR, AR, QF. Today, I will make a brief comparison on the replica Oyster Perpetual 126000 between VS and KR. This replica Rolex watch with a Pistachio dial is very popular.
Besides the movement, there is another big difference between the two watches, which is the dial color. Look at the two pictures below, the left one is from VS, the right watch is from KR. The dial of the VS looks nice, but the watch from KR has a more correct dial color that looks slightly darker. However, if you observe the dial very closely, you will find VS has a fine gritty texture, while the dial of KR is smooth, in this aspect, VS is closer to the genuine.
The right watch from KRF has a dial color that is closer to genuine.
There is no need to compare the other details, VS uses a super clone 3230 movement, pull out the crown to wind the watch, pull it to the first click to adjust time directly, there is no date module in this movement, just like the genuine Rolex movement.
On both watches, the crystal is slightly higher above the bezel, but the edge of the crystal lacks rounded and smooth polishing, not like the Rolex from Clean, every piece has very good rounded polishing on the crystal.
Before VS, Clean already made this replica Rolex GMT-Master II before, now Clean is closed, many people are asking me if this factory will come back, I am afraid that they will not, it is very hard. And this is a lost for our watch fans, because I always think that Clean makes the best replicas of Rolex GMT-Master II, even VS has tried their best efforts to make good quality replica Rolex GMT-Master II, but I think in some details they are still not as good as the ones made by Clean. Besides Clean, I want to talk about another factory before our today’s topic, it is ZF. There is a rumor in the market that ZF was closed years ago, now today the watches such as AP 15400, 15500 and others are not from the real ZF, if this is true, would you still buy watches from ZF? In my opinion, this does not matter, after all these watches still have the same good quality as before.
Today, I will make a brief review on the replica Rolex GMT-Master II watch with black and grey ceramic bezel, it is the latest model released by VS Factory. The watch comes with a jubilee bracelet, VS will launch the one with Oyster bracelet soon.
Bezel
The black and grey ceramic bezel insert is the same as that on previous Clean, they use the bezel coming from the same watch parts manufacturer. The shift between black and gray appears smooth.
The platinum coating on the bezel markers features a frosted finish, which is the same as the genuine.
Dial
First, it is the green GMT hand, it looks brighter on the replica, while the hand on the genuine watch is dark green.
Seeing from the side, the hour hand and minute hand look flatter than that of the Clean factory, both hands are lack of the rounded polishing.
There is a layer of blue coating on the date magnifier, it does not look obvious, but you will find blue hue at a certain angle.
Bezel
The bezel rotates with a tight, precise feel – not loose at all. Each click has a very defined/positive engagement.
Bracelet
The bracelet has a very good finish, which is polishing on the center links and brushing on the links at both sides. The brushing lines on the links are very obvious but also very refined.
The engravings on the clasp. “ROLEX” is thinner and shallower than the genuine, the engravings of the other letterings are also shallower.
Movement
It is DD3285, the same super clone 3285 movement as the one used by Clean before. The movement is very stable, like DD4130, it usually has no issues and can be used for many years. Some websites selling this movement as a Swiss movement option, this is not correct, this movement is cloned in China.
Conclusion
This GMT-Master Rolex replica watch from VS is currently the best one in the market. If you want to compare it with the one made by Clean, I must say each has their own advantages. In some details like the hands polishing and the edge polishing of the sapphire crystal, they are better finished by Clean. Unfortunately Clean has been closed.
