Lately, I’ve been spending time with a piece that’s been stirring up talk among replica enthusiasts: Clean Factory Rolex Submariner Starbucks . With its signature green bezel and classic Submariner silhouette, it’s easy to see why this model caught my eye. But how does it really hold up in everyday wear? Let’s dive in.
First Impressions: Clean Execution All Around
Straight out of the box, the build feels solid – really solid. The case is made from 904L stainless steel, and honestly, you can feel that density on the wrist. I compared it side-by-side with a friend’s genuine Sub and the weight was nearly identical. The screw-down crown clicks in with authority, and the rehaut engraving? Sharp and perfectly aligned. Clean Factory clearly isn’t just slapping parts together.
That Iconic Green Bezel
Now onto the part everyone’s talking about – the green ceramic bezel. This isn’t some glossy plastic-looking finish; it’s beautifully matte with just enough sheen to catch the light. The platinum-plated markers inside the bezel reflect just right. I tested the rotation – crisp, firm, no play. It’s the closest I’ve seen to the genuine Starbucks Sub from a visual and tactile perspective.
Dial Details: More Than Meets the Eye
Under bright light, the black lacquer dial pops. The lume is strong (Superluminova Blue) and charges quickly, holding brightness through the night. The hour markers and hands are wrapped in 18k white gold – not just plated – and it shows in the subtle warm tone under natural light. Clean Factory print work is sharp, no fuzzy edges, no misalignment. They really nailed the Rolex dial proportions here.


What’s Ticking Inside
Under the caseback is Clean’s take on the Cal.3235 movement. It’s a super clone, and it behaves like one – smooth sweep at 28,800 VPH, about 50 hours of power reserve. I wore the watch continuously for four days, and the time deviation was around +4 seconds per day. That’s COSC-level. Quick-set date works flawlessly, and the date font is on point.
Comfort and Wearability
The bracelet is a standard Oyster, again in 904L steel, and comes with the Glidelock system – surprisingly useful for small wrist adjustments on hot days. I wore it to the office, to the beach, even in the shower (yeah, I tested it). The 100m water resistance claim held up fine. No fogging, no moisture inside the crystal. The fit on my 6.75-inch wrist is just right – substantial but not bulky.
Overall Thoughts
If you’re after a rolex Submariner Starbucks replica that doesn’t just look the part but also feels and performs like the real thing, this is probably the best one on the market right now. It checks all the boxes: materials, finishing, movement, accuracy, comfort. And unlike many replicas that feel like a “close-enough,” Clean Factory version feels intentional – like they actually cared about getting it right.
So is it worth it? If you value craftsmanship and don’t want to compromise on realism, absolutely. Just don’t call it a fake – this is a super clone in every sense.
