Hello everyone, I’m CH Watch! I’m passionate about sharing insights into the world of watches—exploring the differences between authentic and replica models, conducting detailed breakdowns, and providing evaluations. I aim to be your guide in the watch-collecting journey, helping you navigate with ease. In this blog, I’m excited to review the latest Clean Rolex Explorer II model, m226570-0002, featuring a white dial. We’ve also published a comparison of this Clean Explorer with the original model. Feel free to check out the side-by-side images that show how Clean’s Explorer II stacks up against the genuine piece.

Following the release of Clean’s new Tan 2, CH Watch Industry quickly acquired the first batch of Clean Factory’s 226570 white dial models available online. Here, I’m sharing the actual shooting process with you all. Many of you are curious to see how this model’s dial details compare with the original version and whether it lives up to certain expectations.

The overall weight and texture of the watch are beautifully replicated. The case has been meticulously polished and rounded, while the strap is free from any rough edges, with chamfered sections that feel exceptionally comfortable. Typically, authentic watches feature even finer polishing than high-end replicas, but the polishing quality of the Clean Factory Explorer II is truly impeccable.

This Clean Factory Tan 2 is crafted from 904L stainless steel, adhering to a 1:1 ratio with the original authentic model. The Clean Explorer replicates the latest Tan 2 series, with the older model being the m216570. Differences between the new and old versions can only be fully appreciated through comparison. Currently, most replica manufacturers focus on the new m226570 series, making the older models quite rare. You can distinguish between them by checking for a small crown at the 6 o’clock position on the dial—if present, it’s the new Tan 2; if absent, it’s the older version.

The watch measures 42mm and features genuine stainless steel construction, making it a popular choice among outdoor explorers. Its sturdy design can withstand outdoor impacts, especially with its durable stainless steel bezel.

Key comparative strengths: What are the standout advantages of the Clean Factory 226570 when measured against the original authentic model?

What advantages does this watch have over competitor models? Let’s explore this in two key areas. Firstly, Clean’s new Explorer II (Tan Er) stands out among other high-quality replicas on the market due to its use of the Dandong 3285 movement, which is identical to the movement found in GMT models. This gives Clean’s Explorer II the distinction of being the first replica explorer watch on the market with a 72-hour power reserve. Other manufacturers typically use the Shanghai 3285 or an integrated 3285 movement, which doesn’t offer the same stability as the Dandong movement. While the movement of the Clean Factory Explorer may not fully match the precision and density of Swiss-made movements, its power reserve and GMT functionality are 100% faithfully replicated, providing a notable performance advantage.

When it comes to stability, the Dandong 3285 movement in the Clean Explorer has already proven itself over time in previous GMT models. However, the true test of a movement’s stability is time itself. Whether any issues will arise, or if there will be frequent malfunctions, can only be determined through the experiences of watch enthusiasts who use it regularly.

Secondly, the innate conditions of the Clean factory. Everyone knows that when buying a high-end imitation Rolex, the first choice is to buy from the Clean factory. The simplest way to understand it is that the best choice for Submariner, GMT, Yacht, Daytona, Log, and Explorer is the Clean factory. However, the sales of the same watches produced by competitors in the same industry cannot be compared with those of the Clean factory, including this Clean Explorer. Many manufacturers launched the 226570 earlier than the Clean factory. Although they accounted for a part of the sales, with the launch of the Clean factory official website, it will still affect the sales of other peers. The overwhelming advantage of the movement and the excellence in detail processing are all advantages.

Process Evaluation:

The manufacturing process significantly influences the intricate details of the entire dial. Let’s begin with the bezel. In comparison to the previous Explorer II model, the bezel on the new Clean Factory 226570 has been slightly scaled down, including the font size. The Clean Factory Explorer II employs an original 1:1 mold to recreate the bezel’s scale font, ensuring neatness, consistent spacing, and the correct dimensions of the inverted triangle. This is achieved through 3D printing, which contrasts with the original laser-etched scales filled with paint sourced from Swiss channels. The depth and volume of the paint filling in the Clean Explorer are meticulously done, eliminating any overflow defects, and the bezel is fixed and non-rotatable.

Equipped with a high-transparency blue crystal glass lens, the surface of the lens sits slightly higher than the bezel itself. The inner shadow circle features a scale aligned with the specific ROLEX model, ensuring clarity. The crown logo is prominently positioned at 12 o’clock.

For the time display, the Clean Factory 226570 incorporates metal edging with built-in luminous filling. The hands are hand-polished and feature a solid center axis. Although there’s a slight imperfection compared to the original, this is a common characteristic found across the entire market. The orange hand serves as the GMT pointer, accurately indicating the time on the bezel display. The printed text utilizes advanced 3D printing technology, ensuring clarity and neatness, with a deliberate gap at the end to replicate the look of the authentic version effectively.

Overall Summary：

The new Clean Tan 2 offers an impeccable visual experience from every angle. In my opinion, the white dial simulation surpasses the black dial by about 2% in terms of accuracy. The Clean Factory 226570 achieves an impressive restoration level of approximately 95% compared to the original, effectively eliminating any chance of misidentifying it as a fake at first glance. This makes it a worthwhile purchase, especially since non-professionals often struggle to discern authenticity.
