Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey. In this episode, I will introduce Clean Factory’s newly upgraded Rolex Datejust series m126334-0002, also known as the C Factory 41mm Datejust Blue Dial. The main upgrade this time is the movement: the previous Shanghai 3235 movement has been replaced with a new Shanghai Jinghe 3235 movement developed specifically for this model. Produced by Shanghai Jinghe Movement Factory, the power reserve matches the original at 70 hours—20 hours more than the old version. It should be noted that Clean Factory began switching to the new 3235 movement in April 2024, including for models like the 41mm Submariner and 36mm Datejust series. Therefore, you don’t need to worry about accidentally purchasing an old version in the future. This article will teach you how to distinguish between new and old versions and avoid buying counterfeit C Factory products.
As always, let’s first look at the official parameters: Rolex Datejust series m126334-0002 watch.
Let’s take a brief look at the workmanship first. After all, many friends still don’t understand the details of the workmanship and restoration of the C factory.
The mirror surface is sapphire, the overall edge is very transparent without white edge, and the reflection of the time scale can be seen at different angles
The dial color adjustment is also very good, no matter in that kind of light source, there will be no problem of purple, and there is the radiation pattern, which is a very delicate pattern.
On the font printing, it is as three-dimensional as the original, and there will be no ghosting and grainy feeling under the macro. If it is a fake C factory, it will not stand the macro magnification inspection.
The pointer is also relatively thick, especially the second hand. It has the same workmanship as the original, from thick to thin, which is very comfortable visually. The central axis is also in the shape of a hat
The inner shadow small yellow crown can also be aligned at 12 points. Of course, there are also inaccuracies in the C factory. If you buy it in Bokey, Bokey can carefully select the completely aligned one for you.
The inner rehaut code at the 6 o’clock position has also been changed to the new 6R****V6. In addition to the 41mm Datejust, this code is also used by C Factory’s 41mm Submariner. If there are any future changes to the code, Bokey will update them in the Moments section as soon as possible. Of course, this code change is not an upgrade—many merchants may use this to mislead buyers by claiming it as a new “Version VX”. Additionally, details like the labels on the strap and the cartoon stickers on the back may also change from time to time. We only need to focus on the craftsmanship details of the watch itself; there’s no need to worry about packaging, as it has no technical significance.
There is also an anti-counterfeiting crown on the glass at 6 o’clock, and it is composed of the same small dots as the original, not a straight line in the low version.
The tooth ring is highly polished and platinum plated.
The whole watch is made of 904L stainless steel. Whether it is the shell body or the strap, it is OEM by the AR foundry, so the color of the molten steel can be kept consistent, and there will be no problem of one color for the shell body and one color for the steel belt. There is also the consistency of grinding
There is also an engraved crown on the head of the time adjusting handle, and there is also a horizontal pair of plates under the crown.
The strap adopts the five-bead one OEM of the AR factory. The whole grinding is very in place and relatively soft. There are also three-bead straps to choose from.
The details of the buttons, the water chestnut parts of the clasp are polished with rounded corners, and there is no cutting feel to the touch. The inside of the extension buckle is clean and tidy.
The button code is ORV, and the olive label has 4 small dots for anti-counterfeiting. It can be seen very clearly at macro. If it is imitation C, the olive label does not have 4 small dots.
Close bottom design, tear open the cartoon sticker, we can see that the wire drawing and polishing of the back cover is very in place, the tooth mouth is also better, and the fit between the back cover and the case is very tight.
Open the back cover to see the movement. This time, the newly upgraded Shanghai 3235 movement is not only upgraded to 70 hours on the dynamic storage, but also different from the original in appearance and structure. We can see that the shock absorber part is more accurate. The previous version was up and covered, but now it is down, and its adjustment error speed is different from other movements. It is on the right, and the VS factory is on the left. A few pictures are posted below, indicating that you can take screenshots and save them. If you are worried about buying a fake C, you can also ask the merchant to open the lid to verify the structure of the movement. If you buy it here, you can also ask to send an open-cover ball to you for personal verification.
Size data, weight 132 grams, size 41mm, thickness 11.9mm, all match the genuine parameters
Luminous effect, ice blue luminous, very bright.
The above are the details of Clean Factory’s new version of the Rolex 41mm Datejust. This version is also C Factory’s final iteration, with no further room for upgrades. Watch enthusiasts who appreciate it can confidently purchase it, without worrying about the “money-gouging” tactic of frequent upgrades after purchase!
