Clean Factory Rolex Submariner 126613LB Version Guide
The Clean Factory Rolex Submariner 126613LB is a 41mm two-tone configuration featuring a blue dial, blue bezel and a 3235-style automatic mechanical movement.
The current version includes updates to several areas rather than focusing on a single component. These include the movement, bezel rotation, crystal edge, date display, bracelet finishing, clasp operation, hands and blue dial.
Although “super clone watch” is commonly used as a market term for watches in this category, it does not define a specific technical standard. For the 126613LB, movement configuration, case dimensions, materials, finishing and individual QC results provide more useful information when comparing versions.
41mm Submariner Case
The 126613LB uses a 41mm case.
Its two-tone exterior combines steel surfaces with gold-tone elements across the case and bracelet, while the blue dial and bezel provide the main color contrast.
Case dimensions should still be physically measured during QC when exact width and thickness are required, as small variations can occur between individual production batches.
3235-Style Automatic Movement
The current Clean Factory configuration uses a 3235-style automatic mechanical movement.
According to the supplied information, the current generation also includes revisions to movement finishing and internal construction.
Rather than evaluating the movement only through its visual appearance, individual QC testing remains important.
Useful measurements include:
- Daily Rate
- Amplitude
- Beat Error
- Beat Rate
- Automatic Winding
- Crown Operation
- Date Change
These provide practical information about the operating condition of the individual movement.
Blue Bezel
One of the defining visual characteristics of the 126613LB is its blue rotating bezel.
The supplied information describes the current bezel color as having a blue tone that can show subtle violet characteristics under certain lighting conditions.
Color appearance can vary significantly according to ambient light, viewing angle and photography, so bezel tone is better evaluated under several lighting conditions rather than from a single image.
Updated Bezel Rotation
The bezel rotation mechanism has also undergone adjustment.
The goal of this revision is to provide more consistent resistance and engagement during rotation, addressing the comparatively stiff feel reported on some earlier versions.
During QC, the bezel should be checked for:
- Rotational resistance
- Click consistency
- Alignment
- Back play
- Bezel insert positioning
This provides a more objective evaluation than relying only on subjective descriptions of bezel feel.
Crystal Edge Update
The current version includes an adjustment to the visible edge of the crystal.
The purpose of this revision is to reduce an overly noticeable pale or white-looking edge around the crystal when viewed from certain angles.
Crystal seating and edge appearance should be inspected from both the front and side because reflections can change considerably depending on lighting.
Updated Date Display
The date display has also received attention in the current version.
Updates focus on:
- Numeral definition
- Printing edges
- Background consistency
- Date-wheel alignment
Cleaner printing helps prevent rough-looking numeral edges, while a more uniform background improves the appearance of the date through the magnification lens.
During QC, multiple dates should be checked rather than evaluating only one numeral.
Blue Dial
Clean Factory uses its own blue dial configuration for this 126613LB version.
Useful areas to inspect include:
- Dial color
- Printing
- Applied markers
- Marker alignment
- Luminous filling
- Date-window positioning
- Surface consistency
This provides a more objective evaluation than relying only on subjective descriptions of bezel feel.
Crystal Edge Update
The current version includes an adjustment to the visible edge of the crystal.
The purpose of this revision is to reduce an overly noticeable pale or white-looking edge around the crystal when viewed from certain angles.
Crystal seating and edge appearance should be inspected from both the front and side because reflections can change considerably depending on lighting.
Updated Date Display
The date display has also received attention in the current version.
Updates focus on:
- Numeral definition
- Printing edges
- Background consistency
- Date-wheel alignment
Cleaner printing helps prevent rough-looking numeral edges, while a more uniform background improves the appearance of the date through the magnification lens.
During QC, multiple dates should be checked rather than evaluating only one numeral.
Blue Dial
Clean Factory uses its own blue dial configuration for this 126613LB version.
Useful areas to inspect include:
- Dial color
- Printing
- Applied markers
- Marker alignment
- Luminous filling
- Date-window positioning
- Surface consistency
As with the bezel, the perceived blue tone can change under different lighting conditions.
Hand Finishing
The hands use additional polishing to create more defined surfaces and edges.
Because polished hands reflect surrounding light strongly, their appearance can change significantly depending on the viewing angle.
QC inspection should focus on surface consistency, edge definition, alignment and clearance between the individual hands.
904L Stainless-Steel Construction
The supplied specifications describe the steel components as using 904L stainless steel.
904L is valued in watch construction for its corrosion resistance and its ability to take a highly polished surface.
The two-tone configuration also incorporates gold-tone surface treatment on the relevant exterior components.
Gold-Tone Vacuum-Plated Surfaces
The gold-tone sections use an 18K-color vacuum-plating process according to the supplied manufacturing information.
This description refers to the surface treatment and color specification; it should not be interpreted as meaning that the plated components are made from solid 18K gold.
As with other plated surfaces, long-term appearance depends on wear, friction, environmental exposure and maintenance.
AR-Style Bracelet Construction
The current configuration continues to use an AR-style bracelet construction.
The bracelet includes a three-piece end-link structure, with attention given to how the individual sections meet around the case and along the sides.
For the two-tone version, the construction is designed to maintain the intended gold-tone appearance across the relevant visible areas while minimizing exposed steel at the side interfaces.
Bracelet Edge Finishing
The bracelet links receive additional edge finishing to create smoother transitions around the link edges.
This is particularly relevant to wearing comfort because sharp or unfinished edges can be noticeable where the bracelet contacts the wrist.
During QC, bracelet articulation and edge finishing should be checked together.
Clasp Operation
The clasp and internal folding components have also undergone adjustment.
The supplied information indicates that the opening and closing resistance has been tuned to provide smoother, more controlled engagement.
Useful QC checks include:
- Opening resistance
- Closing engagement
- Folding mechanism
- Clasp alignment
- Safety mechanism
- Bracelet articulation
The goal is consistent mechanical operation rather than simply making the clasp as loose as possible.
What to Check During QC
For the Clean Factory 126613LB, a useful QC record should include both exterior inspection and movement testing.
Recommended checks include:
- 3235 Movement
- Daily Rate
- Amplitude
- Beat Error
- Beat Rate
- Date Change
- Date Alignment
- Bezel Rotation
- Bezel Alignment
- Crystal Edge
- Dial and Hands
- Bracelet Finishing
- Clasp Operation
- Actual Weight
- Case Width
- Case Thickness
Recording these measurements allows different production generations to be compared using actual data rather than general marketing descriptions.
