Our Clean Factory Explorer M124273 Gold Two-Tone 36mm
So here's the thing with the Explorer 124273 — we've worked this piece over more times than I can count. Two-tone steel and gold, 36mm. Not too big, not too flashy. It just feels right. I've worn a lot of watches, and this one wears like it belongs.
Now, gold on steel? That's a recipe a lot of factories mess up. Either the gold's too bright, or it looks off in daylight — almost plasticky. Not ours. We got that warm yellow tone just right. Took months of testing and comparing to the real deal. Ask anyone who's handled both — it's scary close.
The case is 36mm, which… honestly? Perfect. This isn't supposed to be some oversized wrist brick. The Explorer was always meant to be subtle. The kind of watch that just gets the job done without making a scene. The brushing on the steel? Clean. Purposeful. It says, "I climb mountains," not "I sit at brunch."
Movement's the 3230 — yeah, that one. No date, because the original doesn't have one either. We didn't cheap out and throw in a random movement just to make it tick. This one keeps solid time — usually within +/-7 seconds per day. You wind it, it runs. No drama.
Something else worth pointing out — the parts. We had our guy try fitting some genuine Explorer bits onto this. And guess what? They fit. Crown, dial, even the bracelet end links — they align like puzzle pieces. You don't get that kind of tolerance from just any rep.
Dial's black, crisp, and legible. You've got the 3-6-9 numerals in gold, the classic Mercedes hands, and that "EXPLORER" label sitting exactly where it should be. If you know your fonts, you'll notice it matches the real one to the letter.
Bracelet's got that gold-steel combo too — and yeah, the tone matches across the case, the links, even the clasp. That's actually harder than it sounds. Most sellers miss it. One part ends up more yellow, the other more bronze. Not here. Ours is consistent from top to bottom.
We water-test every unit before it goes out. Not just once. Gaskets, pressure — the works. You could take it swimming if you wanted, though most won't.
Last thing — beware the fakes. Some sellers are using "Clean Factory" as a label, but their two-tone Explorers are way off. Wrong proportions. Weird colors. Movements that shouldn't even be in an Explorer. If the gold looks too yellow or the case feels bulky, it's not ours.
This piece? It's Clean through and through. No fluff. Just a solid, honest replica of a legendary watch.
