The Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 reference 124300-0008/126000-0009 was introduced in 2023. Noted for its unique turquoise or "Tiffany Blue" colored dial. This watch is part of the Oyster Perpetual 41/36 series, which is known for its simplicity, elegance, and high-quality craftsmanship typical of the Rolex brand.Among the watches introduced by Rolex, the dial pattern has a strong unique style. The scarcity of the watch has resulted in this watch exceeding $20,000 in the pre-owned market as well.Some of the fake watch factories that produce this watch are of better quality, namely the Clean and KR factories and the EW factory, among which the most expensive and the best belongs to the Clean factory. Let's compare Clean's 41mm and 36mm with an original and see how they differ.
Here are the prices about the Rolex reference 124300-0008 in the pre-owned market, with the turquoise dial:
**Dial**: The most striking feature of this model is its distinctive turquoise dial, which Rolex refers to as a "bright blue" color. The dial includes simple baton hour markers and hands, all of which are made of 18 ct gold to prevent tarnishing. The Rolex crown logo is positioned at the 12 o'clock mark, and there is a simple minute track around the outer edge of the dial. The watch does not feature a date window, maintaining a clean and uncluttered appearance.
If I don't mark which one is real and which one is Clean, can you recognize it? We carefully compared the dials of the original and Clean, and found only two each other different, one is the smiley face under the 12 o'clock crown logo, the original is more rounded, while Clean's looks a little bit sharp; the other is the 1 o'clock is an orange balloon, the original is a little bit darker in color. As for the color differences in the dials, what other differences can you find?The Clean clone really exceeded my expectations.
**Case and Design**: The watch features a 41 mm case, made from Oystersteel, which is part of the 904L steel family and is known for its durability and corrosion resistance. The case includes a smooth bezel, giving the watch a sleek and classic look.Clean uses the same 904L stainless steel, which distinguishes it from 316 stainless steel. We just compare the case, you can not even find the difference between them, turn over and compare the back cover, in order to see that the Clean's back cover is not so smooth polished, back cover fine line is a little thicker.
**Bracelet**: The Oyster Perpetual 41 comes with an Oyster bracelet, which is also made of Oystersteel. The bracelet includes a folding Oysterclasp with the Rolex Easylink comfort extension link, allowing the wearer to easily adjust the bracelet length by approximately 5 mm.As we can see from the pictures, the Clean has the exact same bracelet and clasp, with the same system of extensions by the bracelet. If I had to nitpick, the engraving of the crown logo on the clasp is not as deep as the original. The engraving of the letters on the original clasp is also a little deeper.
**Movement**: The genuine watch is powered by the Rolex Calibre 3230, a self-winding mechanical movement developed and manufactured by Rolex. It features a Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers, offering greater resistance to shocks and extreme conditions. The movement also provides a power reserve of approximately 70 hours.The movement used in the Clean is the Shanghai Caliber 3230, a movement that functions exactly like the original, with the difference that the power reserve is only about 45 hours.
**Water Resistance**: Like other Oyster Perpetual models, the original is water-resistant to a depth of 100 meters (330 feet), thanks to its Oyster case and Twinlock double waterproofness system.Clean hasn't rigorously tested the water resistance, but it's perfectly fine for waterproofing in life, and for swimming. But don't use it in the bathroom, all watches are not water vapor proof.
