Description
Clean Factory Rolex Daytona Ref. 116518 White Arabic Dial
Clean Factory delivers the most visually accurate dial and dimensional profile for the gold-plated Daytona, though it inherently lacks the mass of genuine precious metal.
Powered by Clone Caliber 4130
The clone Caliber 4130 remains a foundational achievement in replica horology, eliminating the thickness issues associated with older 7750-based Daytonas. By replicating the original column-wheel and vertical clutch design, the chronograph pushers engage with a distinct, tactile click rather than a mushy resistance. All bridges are decorated to mimic genuine Rolex finishing, complete with correct gold-toned engravings. We maintain to ensure every chronograph resets precisely to zero before dispatch.
卤5��8 s/day (Standard regulation for this specific clone 4130 architecture).
- �� Power Reserve: Approximately 36 hours
- �� Complications: Fully functional chronograph, 30-minute counter, 12-hour counter, running seconds at 6 o��clock
- �� Winding Direction: Bidirectional
Technical Specifications
The 40mm case maintains a strict 12.5mm thickness, matching genuine tolerances. The 108.5g total weight is significantly lighter than a solid gold genuine piece, reflecting its steel core construction.
Clean Factory excels in dial typography, presenting crisp black Arabic numerals against a stark white base. The sub-dials feature correct concentric circular graining, and hands are treated with blue-emitting Chromalight equivalent lume.
The fixed bezel is deeply engraved with the tachymetric scale. The plating tone is remarkably close to genuine Rolex 18k yellow gold, avoiding the overly brassy or copper hues seen in lower-tier replicas.
The elastomer strap integrates metal blade inserts for structural integrity, mimicking the genuine Oysterflex feel. It secures via a flip-lock clasp with a polished crown logo, offering secure closure.
Why Clean Factory for This Reference?
Many collectors ask: ��Why not BTF (Better Factory)?��
While BTF produces a highly competent 4130 Daytona with marginally superior sapphire crystal clarity, Clean Factory is widely preferred for its dial accuracy. Clean��s sub-dial proportions, font weight, and overall dial color temperature are demonstrably closer to genuine specifications, which is paramount for high-contrast white dials.
Full Disclosure: The 108.5g weight is an unavoidable tell; a genuine 116518 on Oysterflex weighs approximately 160g, making the replica feel noticeably light in the hand.

Collector Q&A
Q: Does the chronograph function identically to the genuine Caliber 4130?
A: Yes. The clone Caliber 4130 features a fully functional column-wheel and vertical clutch mechanism. The pushers operate the central seconds, 30-minute, and 12-hour sub-dials exactly like the genuine movement.
Q: Will the 18k yellow gold plating fade or tarnish over time?
A: Clean Factory uses advanced PVD plating over a 904L steel base. While highly durable for daily desk-diving, harsh chemicals, saltwater, or heavy abrasive friction can eventually wear the gold layer, revealing the steel beneath.
Q: Can I swap the replica Oysterflex strap for a genuine Rolex strap?
A: Yes. The lug width and case profile are engineered to 1:1 specifications, allowing the seamless installation of genuine Oysterflex rubber straps or aftermarket leather alternatives.
Q: Is the weight of this replica accurate to the genuine 116518?
A: No. This replica weighs exactly 108.5 grams because it is constructed from gold-plated stainless steel. A genuine solid 18k gold Daytona on Oysterflex weighs approximately 160 grams. The weight difference is immediately noticeable when held.
