Recently there has been a public feud between Clean‑Factory and VS‑Factory, which is really unnecessary. It is not advisable for Clean to bad‑mouth VS in order to seize market share, and vice versa. This reminds me of the time when VS and ZF fought over Submariner market share. Manufacturers should simply focus on improving their own products — after all, no one can claim their product is flawless.
This image can be seen as a teaser. This post was almost certainly released by VS‑Factory. It is likely that after the new‑year holiday, VS will publish another set of nine images to discredit Clean, followed by Clean firing back with a so‑called new‑and‑improved version. Competition in the replica‑watch industry has become as cut‑throat as the new‑energy‑vehicle market.
With the economy weakening and consumer spending power declining, overall market demand is inevitably shrinking, making competition between factories far more intense. Too bad replica watches don’t get government subsidies, haha.
As I have mentioned in every article comparing these two factories, there is no longer any real need to spend time debating their craftsmanship or watch cases. Even without their factory labels, I might struggle to tell their products apart. Is there any point in following their online narratives and hype‑driven marketing?
From our perspective as sellers, when two products offer comparable build quality, the logical choice is clear: we will stock and promote whichever factory provides hassle‑free returns, reliable after‑sales support that resolves issues efficiently, and steady, smooth shipments.
In fact, many online marketing articles tend to over‑complicate product descriptions. Constant references to V‑number revisions or minor tweaks often cover insignificant changes. Many dedicated replica‑watch buyers are unaware that genuine watches also receive subtle adjustments across different production years. Some manufacturers take advantage of their own date‑specific replica versions to attack competitors, misleading new‑buyers by exploiting this information gap.
Let me settle the debate over which factory is better in just a few words. I will skip discussions about dials and cases, since their quality is identical. I avoid nit‑picking details that can only be spotted under a high‑power magnifying glass.
When it comes to watches fitted with the 3235 movement, I would lean toward VS‑Factory. VS developed its 3235‑calibre movement in partnership with the Dandong movement factory. Based on our shipping records, it delivers solid reliability with very few after‑sales issues. The rotor also runs slightly quieter than the Shanghai‑produced 3235 movement.
Clean‑Factory sources its 3235 movements from Shanghai. In the past, this movement occasionally suffered from minor faults such as calendar‑jamming. Both versions deliver roughly 70‑hour power‑reserve in real‑world tests. Therefore, I recommend VS‑Factory as your first choice if you are buying the 41 mm model.
For the 40 mm versions, both factories use the Dandong‑made 3135 movement, resulting in an extremely high level of similarity between the two products. That said, Clean‑Factory keeps rolling out new iterations with lengthy marketing write‑ups — so you can give them the win on that front……
From an objective standpoint, they are evenly‑matched in quality. Buyers who value marketing hype may lean toward Clean‑Factory. When making your choice, you can simply decide based on the movement and ignore cosmetic differences entirely. Fewer after‑sales issues also means less work for us sellers.
You may attach any suitable images. If there are new confrontational posts between the two factories after the new‑year break, I will share them casually just for everyone’s entertainment.
