Clean Factory Rolex Green Roman Dial Super Clone Watch

[...]

The world of high-end replica watches has seen tremendous advancements in recent years, with Clean Factory (often abbreviated as "C Factory") emerging as one of the premier manufacturers of Rolex replicas. Today, we're taking an in-depth look at their version of the Rolex Datejust 41mm with reference number M126333, affectionately known as the "Green Roman" or "Green Vine" in watch enthusiast circles.
This particular model has gained significant attention for its unique combination of a grey dial with striking green Roman numeral hour markers - a subtle yet distinctive variation from the more common Datejust configurations. Clean Factory's reputation for exceptional attention to detail makes this replica one of the most sought-after versions in the market.

Exterior Build Quality & Materials​

Case Construction​

Clean Factory has meticulously replicated the 41mm case dimensions of the genuine Rolex Datejust, achieving a 1:1 size ratio that's indistinguishable from the authentic watch to the naked eye. The case is crafted from 904L stainless steel with 18K gold plating (for the two-tone models), matching Rolex's proprietary Oystersteel composition.
The case features:

• Precise polishing on the lugs and case sides
• Accurate brushing on the caseback
• Correct crown guards proportion
• Properly replicated crown with Rolex logo engraving

The signature fluted bezel (also known as the "dog tooth" bezel) receives special attention from Clean Factory. The teeth are cut with remarkable precision, offering the same smooth tactile feel when running your finger over them as the genuine article.

Dial & Markers​

The standout feature of this model is undoubtedly its grey sunburst dial with green Roman numeral markers - a combination that gives the watch its "Green Roman" nickname. Clean Factory has done an exceptional job replicating:

• The exact shade of grey with proper sunburst effect
• Precise green color matching for the Roman numerals
• Correct font and spacing for all text elements
• Perfectly aligned date window at 3 o'clock
• Accurate magnification (2.5x) on the cyclops lens

The applied indices and hands feature excellent finishing with proper lume application that matches the color and brightness of genuine Rolex lume.

Crystal​

Clean Factory equips this replica with a genuine sapphire crystal that includes:

• Anti-reflective coating (similar to Rolex's own)
• Proper edge beveling
• Correct cyclops magnification
• Scratch resistance equal to genuine Rolex crystals

The crystal sits at the exact same height as on authentic Datejust models, contributing to the overall faithful reproduction of the watch's profile.

Bracelet & Clasp Details​

The bracelet options available from Clean Factory include both the Oyster and Jubilee styles, depending on the specific reference being replicated. For the M126333, Clean Factory offers:

Oyster Bracelet Features:​

• 904L stainless steel construction (matching the case)
• Properly weighted links for authentic feel
• Accurate brushing and polishing between links
• Correctly sized and shaped SEL (Solid End Links)
• Precise clasp engraving and mechanism

The bracelet tapers appropriately from 21mm at the lugs to 16mm at the clasp, just like the genuine article. Each link moves smoothly, without any stiffness or "squeakiness" that plagues lower-quality replicas.

Clasp Mechanism:​

• Perfectly replicated Crownclasp with Rolex coronet
• Smooth opening and closing action
• Correct micro-adjustment system
• Proper engraving depth and font
  
  
  
  

Movement & Technical Specifications​

Movement Options​

Clean Factory offers this model with two movement choices:

1. Shanghai 3235 Clone Movement:

• Designed to mimic Rolex's proprietary Caliber 3235
• Features similar architecture to the genuine movement
• Offers comparable power reserve (~70 hours)
• Includes correct rotor decoration and engravings
• Provides smooth seconds hand sweep (28,800 vph)

1. ETA 2836-2 Movement:

• Swiss-made workhorse movement
• Proven reliability and accuracy
• Easier to service and repair
• Slightly thicker than the Shanghai 3235 clone

The Shanghai 3235 clone is generally preferred by enthusiasts seeking the most authentic experience, while the ETA option appeals to those prioritizing long-term reliability and serviceability.

Timekeeping Performance​

In testing, Clean Factory's Datejust replicas typically demonstrate:

• Daily accuracy within ±5-10 seconds
• Consistent power reserve (68-72 hours for the 3235 clone)
• Stable amplitude (270-310°)
• Minimal positional variance

These performance metrics are impressive for a replica movement and approach the standards of genuine Rolex watches.

Comparison to Genuine Rolex Datejust​

Visual Comparison​

Side by side with a genuine Rolex Datejust 41mm, the Clean Factory replica holds up remarkably well:

• Case: Nearly identical in shape, finish, and proportions
• Dial: Color matching is excellent; only microscopic examination reveals slight differences in texture
• Hands: Perfect shape and length; lume color is a near-perfect match
• Bracelet: Weight and feel are extremely close; only an expert could spot minor differences in link articulation
• Clasp: Operation and engraving quality are virtually indistinguishable

Functional Comparison​

• Date change mechanism operates identically
• Crown operation feels similar (though perhaps slightly less smooth)
• Time setting has comparable precision
• Power reserve is nearly identical with the 3235 clone movement

Telltale Differences​

While extremely close, some subtle differences exist:

• The rotor noise on the replica is slightly more audible
• The gold plating, while high quality, may wear differently over time
• The movement finishing, while good, doesn't quite match Rolex's perfection under magnification

Price & Value Proposition​

Clean Factory's Datejust replicas typically retail for:

• $400-$600 for ETA 2836-2 versions
• $500-$700 for Shanghai 3235 clone versions

This represents approximately 5-7% of the cost of a genuine two-tone Rolex Datejust, making it an attractive proposition for:

• Enthusiasts who want the look without the investment
• Collectors interested in high-quality replicas as study pieces
• Individuals who frequently travel to areas where wearing expensive watches might be risky

Considering the level of craftsmanship and attention to detail, Clean Factory's offering represents exceptional value in the replica market.

Reliability & Longevity​

​

Maintenance Requirements​

Like any mechanical watch, these replicas benefit from:

• Regular cleaning of the case and bracelet
• Occasional movement servicing (every 3-5 years)
• Proper storage when not in use
• Avoiding exposure to strong magnetic fields

The ETA 2836-2 version is particularly service-friendly, with parts readily available worldwide.

Community Feedback & Common Questions​

Positive Feedback from Owners​

• "The green Roman numerals pop exactly like the genuine version"
• "The weight and balance feel just like a real Rolex"
• "I've worn mine daily for a year with no issues"
• "Even my watchmaker was impressed with the movement quality"

Common Concerns​

• "Will the gold plating last?"
• "How does the Shanghai 3235 clone hold up long-term?"
• "Is the water resistance comparable to genuine Rolex?"

(Note: The gold plating is high quality but will eventually show wear; the 3235 clone has proven reliable so far; water resistance is good for daily wear but not for swimming).

Purchasing Considerations​

Final Verdict​

Clean Factory's Rolex Datejust 41mm M126333-0022 "Green Roman" replica represents the pinnacle of what's currently achievable in high-end watch replication. With its:

• Exceptional case and bracelet construction
• Perfectly matched dial details
• High-quality movement options
• Overall attention to detail

It offers enthusiasts an opportunity to enjoy nearly all the aesthetic and functional benefits of a genuine Rolex Datejust at a fraction of the cost. While purists will always prefer the real thing, for those open to high-quality replicas, Clean Factory's offering is arguably the best available today.
