No. We are aware that Clean Factory has just released this watch. From the announcement to its availability, it took several months. Now that it is finally available, many watch enthusiasts believe that the best replica comes from Clean and are planning to purchase it. However, I do not think this is the optimal time to buy. We should either wait or consider purchasing it from Q Factory instead.

QF was the first factory to produce this Daytona model, offering both stainless steel and yellow gold versions. Currently, Clean only produces the stainless steel version. Moreover, QF provides two weight options: regular and heavy. The heavy weight version weighs approximately 176 grams. As I mentioned in my previous blog post, QF added extra links to the bracelet to increase its weight. However, spending significantly more money on the heavy weight version may not be worthwhile. After two upgrades, the SH4132 movement in the QF Le Man Daytona can track a 24-hour chronograph function on the subdial at 9 o'clock.

Regarding this Daytona, it is the first new model released by Clean after the holiday. In promoting this watch, Clean claims it also features a 24-hour chronograph at 9 o'clock. To verify this claim, I conducted a test by starting the chronograph function at 2 o'clock and letting it run for exactly one hour. I observed that the small hand on the 9 o'clock subdial moved to the first black marker, indicating that it does not truly function as a 24-hour chronograph.

The weight of the Clean Daytona 126529LN is approximately 137 grams, and Clean does not offer a heavier version. Examining the images below, the black dial of the Clean version appears to lack a sunburst finish, whereas the QF 126529LN features a subtle sunburst treatment.

There are two rumors circulating about this Daytona in the market. One suggests that QF uses 18K white gold plating on the case, which is incorrect; the case remains made of 904L stainless steel. The other rumor claims that this Daytona uses the DD4132 movement, but in fact, it uses the SH4132 movement, which is employed by both QF and Clean.

My conclusion:
If you genuinely like this Daytona and wish to purchase a high-quality replica, I recommend opting for the regular weight version produced by QF. At present, Clean does not appear to be the better choice, although they may improve in the future.
