Clean Factory's green-gold Daytona (model 116508), in comparison with Gen.

1. This release showcases the most popular green-gold Daytona. Below, we will provide a detailed comparison of authenticity.

2. The key highlight of this release is the gold-green dial, which has been in development for nearly two years. It underwent numerous revisions and modifications to ensure its accuracy. It's safe to say that this is the only truly replicated green dial available on the market. However, due to limited production capacity, availability is scarce.

3. The dial section also utilizes a three-part assembly with individually electroplated components.

4. The font thickness and, most importantly, the black fill on the bezel are identical to the original, with a matte texture. This is the only one that achieves this, as illustrated in the detailed comparison images.

About the hands

Since the V1 version of the Panda D, the hands have been criticized by watch enthusiasts for being too high, the solid center axis not being prominent enough, and having burrs. We have been continuously working to address these issues, and currently, I believe we have made timely modifications to address the aforementioned issues.

For the current Green Gold D, the hands are electroplated with 18k gold. In order to maintain consistency in the gold color across various components such as hands, dial markers, crown studs, hour markers, case, bezel, case back, buckle, strap, etc., all parts from different suppliers are uniformly electroplated. The reason for this is to ensure uniformity in the gold color. Currently, C Factory's gold color is the most authentic light gold color on the market. Therefore, we aim to retain and even upgrade the good aspects while promptly and effectively addressing feedback and suggestions for areas needing improvement.

C Factory first adopted the three-piece end link and over 100 individual components for the bracelet two years ago. All parts are individually electroplated, and the cost of electroplating for individual components is higher. For many familiar enthusiasts, the details about the bracelet are probably well known, so there's no need to repeat them here.

Many people have described C Factory as a troublemaker, constantly causing trouble for its competitors. From the beginning with the rounded corners of the index pins, solid central axes, Clean ceramic bezels, to the three-piece end links, and more.

From C Factory's perspective, striving to achieve perfection for every component has always been a priority, regardless of cost. For customers who trust C Factory, the idea of increasing the cost by a few hundred yuan in exchange for a more perfect product is not a concern. When someone has already invested thousands, adding a few hundred more is negligible. As the saying goes, "you get what you pay for." In the future, C Factory will continue to deliver more and better products.

Engraving of precious metals on the bottom of the case.

Detailed comparisons of precious metal engravings have been done for the platinum version before, so I won't elaborate on that here. Instead, let's focus on the following points.

1. In the top right image, the original marking is "750," because the original purchase was made in early 2021. However, by mid-2021, the official modification changed all precious metal engravings from "750" to "Au750." Yes, you read it right—it's a combination of uppercase "A" and lowercase "u."

2. In the bottom left corner, the "750" balance scale, originally resembling a gourd, has been modified to an octagonal shape, still featuring the "750" balance scale and logo.

This needs to be noted, as it's not a random modification by C Factory. Please pay attention to the specific engraving effect as shown in the image.

Regarding the color of the spring sheet for the buckle

As seen in the image, both the original and the C Factory buckles have steel-colored spring sheets. Yes, the spring sheet in the original buckle is made of stainless steel material. Because the elasticity of 18k gold sheet is insufficient, all models of Rolex, whether fully gold or full rose gold, use stainless steel spring sheets. This detail has never been correctly replicated by any factory. It's a very small detail, but, like the issue with full gold bracelets, it requires disassembly, electroplating of parts, and reassembly. Perhaps other factories don't have access to original parts, or they don't want the hassle. So, what others don't do, C Factory does, and it sets an inconspicuous industry standard. A full gold Rolex without stainless steel-colored spring sheets cannot be considered a top-tier replica. This type of buckle has been used in the full gold version of the Louis Koo model for several months, but we haven't specifically mentioned it. Several months have passed, and other factories still haven't made the modification. It's completely incomprehensible. From nothing to something, and now, with the product being recognized, C Factory has never approached anything with a half-hearted attitude. We also thank all the watch enthusiasts for their support.

The biggest feature of this timepiece is the gold-green dial, with a hint of gold shining through the green. Since it's based on the original mold, every aspect including the CD pattern size, font, and various dial details has been faithfully reproduced as much as possible.

The indices and luminescent filling have also been meticulously matched to the original. In the red three-dimensional printed font on the dial, you can see that both the height, the three-dimensional effect, and the shape are almost identical to the original.

This green-gold Daytona is currently the most expensive one we've produced by disassembling the original mold. Although the cost is high, C Factory has always adhered to the principle of not producing without the original. Cost has never been a problem. Since we dare to publish comparison images, we are not afraid of criticism. It may not be exactly the same, but it is the benchmark in the industry.

Note: The watch comparison information above is for reference only, and there is no guarantee of 100% accuracy. It should not be used as a standard example for authenticating genuine products.
