In this review, you’ll find a detailed comparison between the Clean Factory replica watch and the genuine model.
Detailed Introduction to the Explorer II
Known for its reliability and precise timekeeping, the Explorer II is ideal for exploration in extreme environments, who rely on functionality rather than decoration. The Rolex Explorer II M226570-0001 with white “Polar” dial, released in 2021, refined this iconic design with improved proportions and modern updates. The white dial features an orange GMT hand and the iconic Mercedes hour hand, creating an emotional bond with the genuine model.
Clean Factory Rolex Explorer Fake vs Real
Front View Comparison
From the front, the Explorer II immediately stands apart from standard three-hand Rolex models. The 226570 features a true GMT tool-watch layout, highlighted by its signature orange 24-hour hand.
Each hand has a specific purpose:
- Mercedes hour hand shows local time;
- Minute hand reads standard minutes;
- Orange GMT hand tracks a second time zone using the fixed 24-hour bezel;
- Seconds hand runs continuously;
- Date window at 3 o’clock provides clear daily reference.
Clean Factory faithfully reproduces this functionality, offering a real independently adjustable GMT hand rather than a decorative one. Especially crafted finely and vibrantly colored, closely resembles the real deal.

Case Comparison
The 42mm case size of the 226570 is accurately replicated by Clean Factory. In case design, Clean Factory uses 904L steel material, Lug length, case thickness, and overall proportions match the genuine watch closely. The brushed finish is clean and consistent, with smooth transitions and no harsh edges, maintaining the rugged yet refined character of the Explorer II.
Side View Comparison
From the side, the Explorer II shows a balanced and practical profile. Clean Factory accurately recreates the curvature, ensuring the watch sits comfortably on your wrist without feeling bulky or awkward.

Crown Comparison

Case Side Engraving Comparison
The engravings on the side of the Clean Factory watch case are exquisite and detailed. However, the depth of the engraving is slightly shallower, but the alignment is precise.
