What is the rating for the Clean Factory Rolex Daytona Ice Blue Dior Stripe Edition M116506-0001?

Hello everyone, I’m CN Watch. I am passionate about watching, sharing knowledge, comparing replicas and genuine watches, disassembling and reviewing timepieces. I want to be your guide through the world of timepieces and help you avoid confusion.Rolex 24 Daytona.

Let’s discuss the new Rolex Daytona Ice Blue Di Stripe Edition m116506-0001 released by Clean Factory. Clean Factory had previously introduced the m116506-0002 version with diamonds. The Ice Blue Di Series comes in two versions, which differ mainly in the material used for the hour markers. 0002 has diamond markers while 0001 uses standard metal indices.

Why did Clean Factory release version 0002 first, instead of 0001?

Clean Factory’s biggest challenge in replicating Ice Blue Di was not the diamond version, but the scale bar. It was difficult to achieve an accurate dial shade. The diamond version is highly sought-after by watch lovers, especially because of its remarkable resemblance with the original. Clean Factory’s ice-blue dial is already more accurate than BT Factory. Now, the key question is: Can this version keep up with the high standard set by BT Factory? Does it have the same quality and detail as the original?

Next, let’s take a look at this Clean factory ice blue Daytona. First of all, the appearance is still made of normal 904L stainless steel, while the original authentic one is made of platinum. Its biggest flaw is the weight. 904L stainless steel cannot reach the high density of platinum. At the same time, the weight of the original ice blue Daytona is the heaviest among all Daytonas. The density of platinum is even greater than that of K gold-rose gold, so it occupies a relatively large weight.

Let’s now talk about the bezel. Clean Factory produces the most accurate ceramic bezel in chestnut brown on the market. For a faithful restoration the bezel changes colors depending on the lighting, from black and red to chestnut brown and dark brown. Clean Factory successfully reproduced the authentic version’s color transition, which is achieved by light reflection.

The “120” mark at 6 o’clock is offset slightly to the left, by approximately 1mm. This matches the original design of the bezel. All other scale markers are aligned consistently. The blue high-transparency crystal glass is exceptionally clear, with no visible white edges. It allows a crystal-clear look at the dial’s sharp reflection pattern and ice blue color.

Clean Factory’s Ice Blue Daytona dial is a standout feature, especially its color accuracy. The shade adjustment took Clean Factory several months more than the diamond version. (m116506-0002) This shows the dedication of Clean Factory to perfection. The textures on this watch are flawless and precise, while the rotating patterns of the three subdials keep the right proportions. Clean’s version appears to be more accurate than BT Factory’s.

The standard scale bars have a rounded, polished finish with a luminous filling. Printing on the dial with its radial texture is also a challenge, but the text still appears sharp and clear, free of burrs. Clean Factory’s Daytona V3 features BUFF replacement hands to improve accuracy.Rolex 24 Daytona.

Standard dimensions are 40mm in diameter and 12.4mm thick. Rolex’s official specifications state that the standard stainless steel Daytona model thickness is 12.2mm. This includes the Panda dial as well as black ceramic and black steel dials. It is an important but subtle detail that watch enthusiasts should be aware of. Even small differences can affect authenticity. Different movements can also affect the case thickness. If the watch looks too thick, this may be a sign of its authenticity.

The next step is to restore the shape of the case. Clean Factory’s Daytona replicas have been top-tier since the Clean Daytona V3 was developed. They are 95% accurate compared to original. Curvature control and polished edges on the four corners ensure that there are no sharp edges to cause discomfort. The polishing angles of the three adjustment crowns at the sides are precise, while the crown logos on the central time-setting Crown are also in perfect alignment with the original. The five grips also have a consistent extension and angle with the original scale.Rolex 24 Daytona.

The watch is powered with the Dandong movement 4130, which offers a 72-hour reserve and fully replicates the high-quality chronograph function. Clean Factory’s Ice Blue Daytona is the only version of the watch on the market to closely match the original. It also inherits the quality of the Ice Blue Daytona in terms of dial color accuracy. This makes it a top choice.
