What are the pros of and cons for the Clean Factory Rolex Daytona Red Dial Platinum “Red Magic” version?

I am CN Watch. I love to share knowledge about watches, compare real versus fake models, disassemble and evaluate, and guide you through the worlds of watches so you don’t lose your way. This issue we dive into the Clean Factory Rolex Daytona Platinum​ Series – specifically, the 116509 Red Magic Daytona in platinum with the 4130 Movement.

Start with the replica made by the manufacturer:

Clean Factory Rolex Daytona Platinum​ – Cement Gray/Red Magic

1. Three-stage split head grain
2. The original model of the head grain protrusion is mirrored.
3. Unique in the market, the side of the grain head is polished.
4. The original Cement Gray font was compared with the copy before to ensure authenticity
5. The Red Magic font is the original with a matte-black dial
6. We’d like customers who are unfamiliar with the original clean bezel to know that the font size, bezel shape, and flatness of the latest version is worth comparing. The bezel is notable for its three polished edges that intersect, creating a clear surface line. This refinement is something most factories are unable to achieve, as they end up with large rounded corners.
7. The font on the bezel is frosted and the oil filling has been done with precision.

We’re always happy to address any concerns raised by customers. If no problems arise, we value their positive feedback. Clean Factory put a lot of effort into creating this model. We do not want our customers to ignore the details.

We measured the thickness of the watch using calipers. The thickest part measures 12.1mm. The watch weighed 143 grams. This is significantly lighter than the original which weighs 208 grams because of its 18K white-gold case and bracelet. This model is made from 904 steel to ensure durability and no fading.

Let’s look at the bezel. It’s finally been adjusted. In my previous review I stated that the entire 60 including the upper point would be more centralized. Now the platinum bezel is a little bit closer to mirror edge. This correction makes the bezel more centered, and slightly thinner. This adjustment affects the entire bezel including the inverted rectangle, which is now closer to inside.

The entire dial is a vibrant red. You can see the bright, striking second hand from different angles. It also has a solid central axis. The numbers not only look bright and three-dimensional, but the oil finish has been done very well. Overall, it is more pleasing visually than the N factory’s previous version. Printing quality and other details have also been improved compared to the N Factory. The second hand has the biggest improvement: the N Factory version had a dull red while the Clean Factory accurately reproduces the bright red of the original, and with an oily finishing that enhances the appearance. These improvements make a significant difference.Rolex Daytona Platinum​.

Examine the case. The original case of platinum is slightly curved, which makes the end steel band convex. The gentle convex curve is visible from the top to the bottom. The top stays flat with the curve only visible at the end. This is a design that matches the original.

This mirror gives the appearance of a transparent watch when you view it from the front. The edges don’t have to be sunken. And the original mirror is also slightly raised.

Let’s now go through the functions. The crown can be pulled out to set the time, pushed back in for manual winding and the middle position to set the date. To secure the crown, tighten it. To start the chronograph press the top button, then again to pause and reset.

The subdial at 3 o’clock displays chronograph minutes, seconds and hours. At 9 o’clock, it tracks chronograph seconds and hours. And the subdial at 6 o’clock is the continuous seconds hand. The large central seconds hand only functions when the chronograph has been activated.

The original watch has all of these features, but the only difference is the slightly lighter weight. This is a very well-made, detailed replica. If you like it, then it’s worth looking at.

The caseback features a brand new design, inspired by Sun Wukong. It has deeply etched engravings to highlight the fine detail. The stamps on the steel are prominent, and the links connecting the bands of steel are tight for a seamless finish.

Look at the quality of the craftsmanship on the strap. The buckle is beautifully polished and chamfered, while the clasp has a solid and satisfying feel. The code and the 750 mark are clearly visible when you open the case.
