A Closer Look at Clean Factory’s 226570 Explorer II : Dandong 3280 Movement and Key Distinctions
Clean Factory’s latest replica, the Rolex Explorer II, 226570 is available with both a black or white dial. It has quickly caught the eye of watch collectors. The use of the Dandong 3285″ movement is one of the main highlights. The same movement is used to power the 126710, but the 3285 in the 226570 has a larger size overall and a repositioned window for the date.


Date Window Accuracy Issues
The misaligned window for the date is a common problem among 226570 replicas. Most movement manufacturers hesitate to develop custom-sized movements because the Explorer II is such a niche model. Clean Factory convinced Dandong, after a lengthy process of more than a full year, to design a movement that met the required dimensions.


Bezel Font Variations
There are clear differences in the font styles on the bezels between the 226570 model and the 216570 model. The earlier black dialed 226570 retains a finer, thinner font. However, the white dialed 2023 version adopts a thicker, bolder font. This change reflects the gradual evolution of the Explorer II Series.


Updates Case, Hands and Movement
Clean Factory replica 226570 retains original 42mm case dimension. The case shape, the hand shapes and the thickness of bezel fonts have all been adjusted to reflect the subtle differences. Clean Factory has refined these elements in order to produce an authentic and faithful replica of the original model.



Explorer II’s Distinctive Status
The Explorer II is a unique Rolex collection, combining rugged style with practicality. Before the launch of Clean Factory, high-quality copies of the Explorer II was rare. This latest release fills that void with an incredibly accurate reproduction.


Conclusion
Clean Factory’s Explorer II 226570 impresses thanks to its exact replication of the Dandong 32855 movement, accurate date setting, and faithful font updates on the bezel. The 226570 Explorer II’s exceptional craftsmanship makes it a great alternative for collectors who want a high-quality, affordable model. Clean Factory is sure to release more amazing releases in the future.
