Clean Factory's White Daytona (Model 126500-0001), Comparison with Gen. 

Clean Factory Daytona 4131 New Model:
126500 White

Based on photo comparisons, a key focus is the three silver subdials on the dial. The biggest update in the 4131 model is the addition of a bright ring around the subdials, which Clean has executed well in terms of angle and brightness. However, the texture of the silver-grey subdials is not as fine as the genuine article, though this is not noticeable to the naked eye. You can see the specifics in natural light comparisons.

Other aspects, such as the indices and luminescence, are also done very well. It was mentioned that the genuine 4131 now features cylindrical pinion heads for the hands, but upon examining four genuine pieces provided by Clean, we noticed some issues. For example, the roundness of the indices varies, and some hands still use the old tapered pinion heads. This suggests that Rolex may be clearing out its 4130 stock.

There are also photo comparisons of the case and bracelet, showing minimal overall differences in appearance.

Despite the tight schedule, Clean managed to purchase five genuine pieces immediately. It's reported that the value of these watches has dropped by over $100,000, not including the disassembled watches and damaged parts. I carefully examined and photographed the real and replica pieces, and I believe this is an excellent creation.

The choice of the SH4131 movement involves complex considerations. However, it’s important to understand that SH does not equal low-end quality. Clean has never compromised on procurement costs to increase profits. According to Clean, the procurement cost for the SH4131 movement is not lower than that of the DD4130.

Due to lighting issues, natural light photos will be included, and I think these should be considered the standard.
