The Clean Factory has released an impressive replica of the Rolex 4131, showcasing their dedication to quality and attention to detail. When comparing the replica with the genuine model, results reveal subtle differences in the hands and dial markers.

Despite the tight timeframe, Clean purchased five genuine pieces to ensure accuracy in replication. Remarkably, the market value of these watches has dropped significantly, with over $100,000 lost in value, not accounting for dismantled watches and damaged parts.

One of the interesting aspects about the replica is the choice to use the sh4131 movement, which is procured at comparable costs to the dd4130, emphasizing Clean’s commitment to quality over profit. Contrary to assumptions, ‘sh’ does not signify lower quality; Clean’s standards remain high irrespective of the movement used.

Natural lighting comparisons show minimal external differences between the replica and the original, with variations largely attributed to lighting conditions. Real-life photos are provided to support these observations, offering insight into the nuanced disparities and overall craftsmanship.
