Hey, this is RAY. Today I’ve got some exciting news. Clean Factory is back! After they stopped production back in July 2025, they reappeared earlier this year under the name Victory (VF). A lot of people ask if Victory Factory is really the same as Clean Factory. The short answer is, it’s not the exact same team, but they took over the whole parts supply chain from Clean.
So in terms of where the parts come from, Victory Factory can definitely be seen as a continuation of Clean. Right now, Victory Factory is mainly focused on Rolex and Patek Philippe replicas. If you saw my earlier Victory Factory Patek Philippe Replica Watch Review, you’ll know they did a really good job. Now let’s take a closer look at how they’re actually performing.
VS Factory vs Victory Factory: Rolex Replica Watch Comparison
Right now, Victory’s biggest competitor in the Rolex replica game is VS Factory.
First, let’s talk about Victory Factory’s strengths. Their ceramic bezel color is closer to gen, especially on the Rolex Panda Daytona black ceramic bezel. In natural light, the color leans slightly warm gray, which is about half a step better than VS Factory. The sharpness of the case lines also carries over Clean Factory’s standard. The brushing direction and the chamfering on the mid-case are very clean.
But VS Factory isn’t without its own advantages. VS Factory still has the best crystal clarity in the industry. Their sapphire glass has great anti-reflective coating, and the dual-barrel movement, like the 3235 clone, is slightly more stable long-term than Victory Factory’s Dandong movement.
So if you want a more accurate bezel and sharper case, go with Victory Factory. If you care more about crystal clarity and long-term movement stability, go with VS Factory. Neither one completely destroys the other.
Top Replica Watch Buyer’s Guide: How to Avoid Scams
When buying Victory Factory 1:1 Best Replica Watches, there are two common traps. First, bad sellers try to pass off old Clean Factory stock as the new Victory. Second, they mix in low-quality stuff from other small factories. Here are three tips to spot the real deal:
Check the movement shock absorber: Dandong 4130 has a triangle-shaped shock absorber. Shanghai 4130 has a gourd shape. You can tell them apart instantly.
Check the clasp code: Victory Factory’s current clasp engravings are three-dimensional and stamped, with no rough edges. Small factory stuff is usually laser-etched, flat-looking letters.
Check the bezel pearl: On a real Victory Factory watch, the pearl sits centered and slightly lower than the ceramic bezel surface. Cheap versions often have it sticking up or off-center.
Replica Watch QC: Batch Variation and Common Flaws
To be fair, after Victory Factory restarted production, their QC has been a little up and down. Recently, customers have reported small issues like tiny scratches on the hands, occasional dust at the 6 o’clock marker on the dial, and the rotor winding noise being a bit louder than the Clean days.
These problems were rare during Clean Factory’s peak. My guess is that after the operation changed hands, the assembly line workers aren’t as skilled yet. The good news is that batches from March 2026 onward have shown improvement. I’d recommend asking for the latest batch numbers.
Also, in the replica market, some people say Victory Factory isn’t as good as VS Factory, while others say VS quality dropped after Clean Factory watches shut down. My take is that VS Factory was never really a true competitor to Clean Factory. VS Factory’s only traditional strengths are the great crystal and the dual-barrel movement. Victory Factory is clearly better in terms of how close the watch looks to gen.
Is Victory Factory Replica Watch Worth Buying?
Yes, it is. Just the fact that it’s a continuation of Clean’s supply chain is enough to make people interested. Even though it’s not the original team, if you look at various Replica watch images and QC reviews, you can see they’ve kept top-level quality on the bezel, case, hands, and other visible parts. It’s a great choice for players who care about visual accuracy and are picky about ceramic bezel color.
