Video Summary
Early Replicas: Initially, small factories produced replica Explorer II watches.
C+ Factory Release: Last year, the C+ Factory released its version of the Explorer II. However, this version has a notable disadvantage: it uses the Shanghai 3285 movement, which is a modification of the Shanghai 3235 movement. This results in a slight misalignment of the calendar position compared to the genuine watch.
Clean Factory Release: Recently, Clean Factory released its version of the Explorer II. This version is currently considered the best among replicas. Unlike the C+ Factory version, the Clean Factory version uses the Dandong 3285 movement. The Clean Factory has an agreement with the Dandong movement factory, which ensures that their Explorer II replica is closer to the genuine article in terms of movement and calendar alignment.
If you’re comparing these replicas to the genuine Explorer II, it’s important to note that the Clean Factory version is more accurate, particularly due to the use of the Dandong 3285 movement, which is closer in specification to the genuine movement.
