What Are The Pros And Cons Of The Rolex Tong 116509 Platinum Red Devil?
Hello everyone, I’m CH Watch Industry. I’m passionate about sharing watch knowledge, comparing real vs. replica, and providing detailed disassembly reviews. I aim to be your guide in the world of watch collecting, helping you navigate without getting lost. In this edition, I’m introducing the Clean Factory’s Rolex Daytona series, featuring the Red Devil with the 4130 movement.
Clean Factory Rolex Platinum Replica releases the 116509 model in Cement Gray and Red Devil editions.

- The Rolex Red Devil variant still follows the original design, featuring a matte black dial.
- Some customers unfamiliar with the Clean factory’s bezel criticize it; however, after the latest comparisons with the original, the font size, flatness, and bezel shape are consistent, with clear side intersections—something most factories fail to achieve, often rounding off corners excessively.
- The bezel font undergoes a matte treatment, and the fuel filling is highly refined.
Customer concerns are acknowledged, and while some may not see the changes, it’s important to appreciate Clean’s meticulous attention to detail.
The size is measured with a ruler, focusing solely on the bezel, which is about 38.5mm, with a thickness of 12.1mm at its thickest point. The entire watch weighs 143 grams, noticeably lighter than the original, as the genuine model has an 18k platinum case and strap, weighing around 208 grams. Consequently, the replica is easier to wear due to its lighter weight. Made from 904L stainless steel, it ensures that the color won’t fade.
Observing the bezel, it’s clear that this ring has finally been adjusted. I’ve mentioned before that the entire “60” marker, including the dot above it, tends to be more commonly seen. On the Platinum bezel, the “60” sits closer to the edge of the crystal, and now it aligns more centrally with a slightly thinner appearance. This adjustment is particularly noticeable on the bezel, including the triangle marker, which leans inward a bit.
The red accents on the dial are vibrant and noticeable from multiple angles, particularly the bright red seconds hand and the numerals, which have a pronounced three-dimensional quality. This is a marked improvement over the previous N Factory version, offering a much more visually pleasing look. If we consider the print quality, it’s enhanced across the board compared to N Factory. A standout feature here is the hands. The N Factory version had a pale red color lacking the rich, glossy appearance. The original had a vivid red hue, and Clean Factory has successfully captured that brightness, making these elements truly stand out.
Let’s take a look at the case once more. In the original platinum version, there’s a slight curvature that gives the case a subtly convex appearance near the back, which can be noticed in this model as well. This slight arc shape aligns with the original design, where the tail ends of the case are gently curved without protruding too much. Additionally, the entire watch has a high level of transparency, with the edge of the case rising just a bit above the mirror, which doesn’t sink in but rather sits slightly elevated, maintaining a refined look.
Now, let’s review the functions. When you pull out the crown to the middle position, you can adjust the time, and then push it back in to wind the mainspring, tightening the crown. Press the upper button to start, and the third button resets it. The 3 o’clock subdial tracks seconds, while the 9 o’clock subdial measures hours. The small seconds hand at 6 o’clock operates continuously, with the larger seconds hand used for timing. All these functions mirror the original; the only difference is a slightly lighter weight. It’s a highly accurate replica, ready for action.
On the back, there’s a new design featuring Sun Wukong. The engraving here is also quite detailed, with deep markings on the steel prints. Additionally, the fit at the connection of the steel bracelet is exceptionally precise.
Examining the craftsmanship of the steel bracelet, you’ll notice the polished gaps at the buckle angles, along with a secure feel to the buttons. When you open it, you’ll find the 750 logo, with the code reading RHD. Additionally, the inscriptions indicate 750, showcasing a strong resemblance to the original design.
