Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. In this issue, we will briefly introduce the Red Devil Daytona from C Factory. Its official model is: Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Series 116509-78599. The genuine version is made of 18K white gold, while C Factory uses 904L stainless steel. Consequently, the C Factory version is slightly lighter than the original. For styles like this white gold model or other full-gold designs, they are worth purchasing for enthusiasts to enjoy and satisfy their cravings for such timepieces.
The overall craftsmanship of C Factory’s Red Devil Daytona is quite excellent. Take the red color on the dial, for example—it is very vibrant. When viewed from multiple angles, we can see that the second hand is also vividly red, the hands have solid centers, the oiliness is well-executed, and the numerals are quite glossy. There is also a sense of three-dimensionality, and its overall texture is many times better than the previous N Factory version, making it much more visually appealing. Additionally, its printing and various other aspects have been improved compared to the previous N Factory model. The most notable point is the hands: the N Factory version had a very dull red color, lacking the oily vibrancy. The genuine watch features a highly vivid red, which Clean Factory has successfully replicated. These are all areas where significant improvements have been made.
The bezel is paired with a steel ring, while the genuine version features a white gold bezel with a white gold plating process, giving it a relatively shiny appearance. The lettering and oil filling on the bezel use the same frosted finish as the original, which is nearly flat and has an uneven texture, making the font appear as bold as the genuine model. Other factories, such as BT Factory, fail to master the oil-filling process—their bezels are excessively uneven, and the font shapes are less accurate. If you purchase an authentic model, it is recommended to carefully check whether the font has an uneven texture; if not, it may be a refurbished second-hand watch.
The case is made of 904L stainless steel, while the genuine product is 18K white gold. In terms of weight, Factory C will be about 70 grams lighter than the original. The grinding of the case and the case type are relatively correct, and the thickness is 12.3mm.
The handle on the side is not bad, especially the engraving on the details, which is very similar to the original! And the 2 o’clock position is the time opening and pause button, and the 4 o’clock position is the time reset button.
The strap is made of the best AR factory steel strap on the market to ensure comfort and durability. The chamfer and polished gaps of the clasp are available, including a closed feel of the button. Open it and take a look at the code here. Here is the 2HD code, and there are also some precious metal marks, such as the 750 mark and the dog head mark, which are relatively clear.
The words on the back have been changed to a new pattern – Sun Wukong. The lettering on several lugs is also very deeply corroded, including these steel stamps. The connection of the steel strip is very high. In terms of movement, Factory C chose the Dandong 4130 movement of the domestic chronograph light. This movement is comparable to the Swiss eta7750 movement in quality and performance, ensuring the stable operation and accurate timing of the watch.
Overall, this Clean Factory Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116509-78599 “Red Devil” Daytona excels in appearance, movement, functionality, and detail processing, nearly achieving a level indistinguishable from the genuine product. Apart from the subtle difference in material weight, it is almost flawless. For watch enthusiasts who love the Rolex Daytona series but have a limited budget, this C Factory white gold Red Devil Daytona is an extremely cost-effective choice.
