Clean has launched its latest creation, the Explorer II 226570, available in both black and white versions. What sets this release apart is the inclusion of the 3285 movement, the same used in the 126710 but scaled larger for the 226570 model. This unique adaptation ensures the date position aligns correctly, unlike other replicas where the date placement is incorrect.
Due to the niche nature of the Explorer II, movement manufacturers have been reluctant to develop a custom size for this model. Clean spent over a year convincing Dandong Movement Factory to create this specialized version, demonstrating their commitment to authenticity and quality.
The differences in the bezel font between the 226570 and 216570 models are significant, highlighting a transformation in the case, hands, and bezel font thickness. While the genuine black dial model retains the older, finer font due to its age, the white dial version purchased in 2023 features a bolder font.
The Explorer II is a rare gem within the Rolex lineup, offering a unique proposition for watch enthusiasts. Prior to Clean’s version, no replica truly captured its essence perfectly. We are hopeful Clean will continue to deliver exceptional products in the future.
