I made the review of the best replica Rolex Explorer II 226570 here before, it was made by Clean, please check the review at . However, Clean has been closed since July of 2025, so today, where is to get the best one even this model is not as popular as other Rolex models? I recommend two factories, AR and V.

This replica Rolex is not hot, and it has two color options, black and white. In the past when Noob was still alive, this watch was not as hot as other Rolex like Submariner, Daytona and GMT-Master II, few people asked about the things of Explorer II, but sometimes there were its fans asking if there was a good replica, I recommended GM before, but now GM has turned their main business to weighted Day-Date. Today, not many factories are competing on this replica watch, even VS Factory does not make it.

Not like other hot Rolex replica watches, the factories has not made many improvements on the Explorer II, I think the only big improvement lies its movement, which is updated from 3186 to 3285. The clone 3186 is a very old movement that was developed by Noob in the past, it was used in GMT-Master II and Explorer II, the upgrade from 3186 to 3285 happened several years ago, now there are generally two 3285 movement options, SH3285 and DD3285. Many dealers said that DD3285 is a better one, actually this is not correct.

SH3285 vs DD3285

Before comparing these two movements, I believe many people already think the DD3285 is the better movement. But I don’t agree, the SH3285 and DD3285 are actually quite similar in quality. So why do so many people believe the DD3285 is superior? It’s actually the result of aggressive marketing by the factory when it was first released. A few years ago, when the DD3285 movement came out, it was immediately picked up by Clean, who was the biggest player in the Rolex replica industry at the time. Their promotion of this movement was very aggressive – 72 hours of power reserve, plus many sellers who sourced from Clean Factory flooded marketing channels claiming it was the strongest clone 3285 movement. That’s why now, whenever these two movements are mentioned, people firmly say the DD3285 is the best.

In fact, when you put the two movements side by side for comparison, you’ll find that the SH3285 has better finishing and engraving on the movement plates and rotor, and the engraving is closer to that of the genuine movement. However, both movements still have a certain gap in finishing and engraving compared to the genuine one – that’s inevitable. The genuine 3285 movement has brighter finishing and neater engraving.

As for the 72-hour power reserve of the DD3285 movement, it’s fake. In the current replica watch market, unless you use a genuine Swiss ETA movement, no other movement can achieve a 72-hour power reserve.

Conclusion:

The pictures below shows the V factory Explorer II white dial model. It is a new product from V. Many online sellers say the factory has made an upgrade this time, but in fact it hasn’t. The crown is still similar to what Clean used to do. But as I said, no replica watch is perfect, you have to accept its flaws if you have decided to buy a replica.
