CLEAN Factory Replica Rolex Daytona 116519 in Cement Grey: Detailed Overview
Key Features of the 116519
Dual Sample Acquisition: We purchased two identical cement grey Daytona models—one for disassembly and measurements, and the other as a backup. Currently, one has been completely scrapped, leaving us with only a pristine dial for comparison.
Dial Characteristics: The cement grey tone is achieved through vacuum PVD electroplating rather than ordinary spray paint. This method allows for a thickness of only 2-4 microns, preserving the underlying sunburst pattern. In contrast, spray paint typically exceeds 100 microns, which can obscure details. The chronograph sub-dials feature a black sunburst center and a CD pattern around the edges, meticulously replicated to match the original.
Upgraded Hour Markers: The hour markers have been refined for a flat appearance on the face while retaining rounded edges on the sides, closely following the original design.
Glass Quality: The original glass is not high-transparency, which helps avoid fingerprints due to its flat surface. While some may prefer high-transparency glass, we’re considering upgrades based on customer feedback, acknowledging this could be a last stand for authenticity.
Case Details: As a precious metal model, the case features a 750/Bernese dog head engraving on the four corners of the bottom. This aspect has been carefully replicated, with comparison images included. However, we’re unable to replicate the small tuft of dog hair on the engraving, which remains a minor shortcoming.
Unique Case Design: The case sides feature specially made lugs. Compared to the standard 116500 steel model, this is the most cost-intensive aspect, as we fully disassembled and replicated the original for perfect interchangeability.
Strap Material: The strap is made using CLEAN factory materials—not just a marketing gimmick. Detailed comparison images are provided below.
Buckle Quality: We use AR buckles, ensuring that the opening and closing mechanism and detailing are consistent with those of the steel bracelet.
CLEAN Factory takes a meticulous approach to production, often resulting in slower output. Our focus is on ensuring each component is crafted with care, avoiding mere imitation of official designs. For now, we plan to release only the cement grey variant, with future color options accompanied by true-and-fake comparison images to demonstrate our commitment to the Daytona model’s authenticity.Clean Factory 116519 Replica.
