Titanium Yacht-Master 42mm 226627 – A High-Quality Rolex Replica Review

Is this Rolex’s first titanium timepiece? It’s a highly sought-after watch, and many enthusiasts wonder if a top-tier replica exists. Initially, the EW factory produced this replica, but it was shut down months ago for reasons well-known in the community. Later, a new manufacturer named EWE emerged—could it be connected to EW? Perhaps a rebranded version or an entirely new operation. Before Clean entered the scene, most buyers opted for EWE’s titanium Yacht-Master replica. Another factory, TW+, also crafted this model, though there are multiple factories using the “TW” name (such as TWA, TW, and TW+). Their exact relationship is unclear, but they typically produce mid-range replicas rather than super clones.

EWE’s version features a Hangzhou 3235 movement, known for its reliability and impressive 72-hour power reserve. Meanwhile, TW+ equips its replica with a Shanghai 3235—though it’s uncertain if they’ve upgraded to a newer version. From my experience, the Hangzhou 3235 in EWE’s model performs well.

Clean Factory’s Titanium Yacht-Master 226627

Clean’s replica is entirely crafted from Grade 5 titanium, making its weight nearly identical to the genuine watch. With the protective plastic and sticker still on, the replica weighs 109.6 grams, just slightly more than the authentic 107.4 grams. Titanium has a subdued, matte appearance compared to stainless steel, and its hardness makes polishing challenging. However, Clean has done an excellent job. Upon close inspection, the brushed finish on the bracelet may appear slightly coarser, but this is barely noticeable from a normal viewing distance. Even the genuine model has a pronounced brushed texture, though with more uniform lines.

The clasp engravings are accurate, but I noticed a minor flaw: when closed, the left metal piece sits slightly higher than the right, unlike the perfectly aligned genuine version. It’s unclear whether this is a consistent issue or limited to my sample.

The case thickness measures 11.89mm, staying under 12mm for a sleek profile. Clean also includes ceramic tubes in the bracelet links, claiming this matches the genuine watch’s design. These tubes enhance durability, preventing scratches and ensuring the bracelet remains tight over time.

Inside, Clean uses an SH3235 movement, commonly found in their Datejust replicas. While Clean advertises a 72-hour power reserve, real-world performance may differ. Still, this movement is widely used and considered stable.

The black ceramic bezel has a matte finish, contrasting with the polished markers. The genuine bezel has a more pronounced matte texture, while Clean’s version appears slightly more refined.

Final Thoughts

Clean’s replica surpasses EWE’s in overall finishing, but it also comes at a higher price point. Whether you choose Clean or EWE, both offer solid options for this sought-after titanium Rolex.

Who Dominates the Super Clone Rolex Daytona Market? Clean Factory Takes the Lead

When it comes to the best super clone Rolex Daytona, Clean Factory remains the undisputed leader. Earlier this year, during the Chinese New Year holiday, Clean made a strategic move by upgrading their 12xxxx series Daytona models with the Dandong 4131 movement—a decision that went largely unnoticed at the time. Now, all Clean 126500 Daytonas come equipped with this high-performance movement, the same one used by VS Factory. Even their newly released Daytonas will feature this upgrade.

Initially, when the Dandong 4131 was first introduced, many believed VS Factory would emerge as a strong competitor against Clean, especially since VS developed this movement. However, the tables have turned—Clean’s adoption of the Dandong 4131 has effectively eliminated VS’s only major advantage. Since its release, watch enthusiasts have shown strong preference for VS Factory’s Daytonas, particularly their 12xxxx series models, which gained more popularity than Clean’s versions. This shift likely pressured Clean into upgrading their movement to stay ahead.

For VS Factory, this was a missed opportunity to surpass Clean in the Daytona market—a chance that doesn’t come often. Years ago, a similar strategic advantage propelled Clean Factory to its current dominance.

Price vs. Quality: Why Clean Still Wins

Some argue that VS Factory offers better pricing, even including an extra rubber strap with each Daytona. However, serious collectors seeking top-tier super clones prioritize quality over cost. Most are willing to pay 50–50–100 more for a superior product, and Clean delivers precisely that.

The Decline of Other Competitors (BT & ZF)

The competition has thinned out—BT Factory has practically vanished from discussions, and ZF Factory hasn’t made significant strides in Daytona replication. As of now, Clean Factory stands alone at the top.

Clean’s Latest Daytona: A Closer Look

Before showcasing the new Daytona images, let’s examine the movement upgrade:

  • Left: The older Shanghai 4131 (previously used by Clean)
  • Right: The new Dandong 4131 (now used by both Clean & VS)

The difference is clear—Dandong’s movement offers superior precision and reliability.

Key Features of Clean’s Daytona:

✅ Bezel Engravings – The “UNITS PER HOUR” engraving is near-genuine in thickness and shape. Both Clean and VS excel here, but Clean’s overall craftsmanship remains superior.

✅ Hands & Hour Markers – Flawless polishing on the hour and minute hands, with zero burrs. Each hour marker is smooth-edged and perfectly finished.

✅ Rehaut & Serial Number – The inner bezel features a unique serial number, adding to authenticity.

✅ Dial & Sunburst Finish – Clean’s dial finishing is unmatched, especially in the sunburst effect on both the main and sub-dials.

✅ Clasp & Buckle Details –

  • New clasp design for rubber-strap models, featuring Au750 engraving on gold versions.
  • Improved extension system for better adjustability.
  • Stainless steel models retain the older clasp.
  • The buckle ships separately in a plastic bag (uninstalled).

Final Verdict: Clean Factory is the Best Choice

For enthusiasts seeking the most accurate super clone DaytonaClean Factory remains the top recommendation. Their attention to detail, movement upgrade, and superior finishing solidify their lead in the market.

The Truth About Clean Factory and Replica Watch Websites

Many watch enthusiasts wonder: Does Clean Factory have an official website? The short answer is no. While a quick Google search might show websites claiming to be “Clean Factory” or selling “Clean-made” watches, none of them are genuine.

Clean Factory has been a major player in the high-end replica industry for years, dealing exclusively through trusted distributors and dealers. Running an official website would not only be unnecessary (since their business already thrives through wholesale channels) but also increase legal risks.

Beware of Fake “Clean Factory” Sellers

Some buyers report purchasing Day-Date replicas advertised as “Clean Factory” products. However, Clean does not produce Rolex Day-Date models. Scammers often place fake “Clean” stickers on bracelets to trick customers into paying premium prices for inferior replicas.

The same applies to other big factory names like VS, Noob, and ZFnone have official websites. Any site claiming to sell directly from these factories is a scam.


Latest Industry Updates

1. BBR Factory Rebrands as BBS

In a surprising turn of events, BBR Factory—which recently announced it was shutting down—has resurfaced under a new name: BBS. Their return brings back popular models like:

  • Richard Mille RM35-01
  • Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Tourbillon

This rebranding suggests that BBR (now BBS) is restructuring to avoid legal pressure while continuing production.

2. The Rise of “Ghost Factories”

Beyond BBR/BBS, several other workshops operate under constantly changing names to stay under the radar. These “ghost factories” produce limited batches of ultra-high-end replicas, often sold through private dealer networks rather than public listings.


How to Buy Safely?

✔ Only purchase from trusted dealers 
✔ Avoid websites claiming to be “official factory stores.”
✔ Verify model availability (e.g., Clean doesn’t make Day-Dates).

Stay informed—scams evolve, but so does the rep game.
