Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. Many watch enthusiasts have been asking Bokey how to ensure that the Clean Factory 40mm Green Submariner 116610LV they purchased is an authentic version, and how to avoid buying counterfeit “C Factory” products. Today, Bokey will share some detailed features of the latest batch of C Factory Green Submariner through real-life photos, allowing everyone to better understand its craftsmanship. By focusing on details, you can avoid purchasing fake C Factory products. Some watch enthusiasts mention the existence of an official C Factory website, but many experienced collectors know that this is actually a trick. After all, building a website only costs a few thousand yuan, which is why searching online yields numerous so-called “official websites” of certain factories, including Hong Kong versions, Taiwan versions, and more.
First, let’s take a look at the appearance. The overall bezel is a vibrant emerald green, not the so-called “duck feces green.” I’ve seen some merchants use “duck feces green” to describe C Factory in their reviews, which is misleading. Experienced collectors know that the early N Factory V4 version of the Green Submariner was mockingly called “duck feces green” precisely because its color was off. It wasn’t until the N Factory V5 version that the bezel started to approach a true emerald green, and later, C Factory achieved a substitute bezel with a color identical to the genuine model.
Now let’s get straight to the point. The most critical way to distinguish between genuine and fake C Factory watches is to examine the dial details, including the hands, dial radial patterns, font printing, and other such specifics. These details can reveal differences when viewed under macro magnification. Let’s start with the hands: the hands of the genuine C Factory Green Submariner are highly three-dimensional, with no burrs from polishing, and their central axis is solid with a slight protrusion.
The scale nail mainly depends on its fullness and roundness. After Factory C updated the V2S version from Pepsi Circle, it improved all styles of scale nails. It can be seen from the macro that the scale nail now looks more round and full than before, and its luminous coating is also lower than the plane of the scale nail.
The details of the font are relatively three-dimensional when viewed from a macro distance. This is an oil pressure process, and the cost is relatively high. If you look closer, its font seems to be floating on the dial, and each one is a little oily.
The night pearl side is milky green with a sapphire mirror covering.
Furthermore, from the inner shadow code and the button code, these two places can only be used as auxiliary identification, because it is easy to be copied by imitation C.
Finally, from the movement point of view, the C Factory 40 Green Water Ghost uses the Dandong 3135 movement. Its movement is more beautiful, and it also has two shock absorber structures (yellow box) like the original. If you don’t remove the automatic tuo to see the bottom shock absorber, then look at the fixed nails. Dandong’s 3135 has the same 7 nail positions (red circle) as the original, while Shanghai 3135 has only one shock absorber and it does not have 7 fixed nail positions. The polishing is also different from Dandong 3135.
Finally, to summarize, if you want to truly purchase the C Factory Rolex 40mm Green Submariner 116610LV, you need to pay attention to the craftsmanship details of the dial and the movement. These are aspects that counterfeit C Factory replicas cannot replicate, as they are constrained by cost limitations. Since counterfeit C Factory watches are cheaper than the genuine ones, they naturally cannot invest in details. Of course, you can also directly purchase from Bokey Watch Industry. We can provide you with high-definition macro images of the C Factory Green Submariner for detail inspection, and if required, we can also open the case for you to verify the authenticity yourself.
