- Rolex Daytona 116503-0003 Champagne Dial – Clean Factory Super Clone V3
- Clean Factory’s Daytona 116503-0003 with the champagne dial is one of those watches that just works. This model doesn’t just slap steel and gold together—it recreates the warm, understated vibe that made this reference a modern classic.
- The dial is what grabs you first. Champagne isn’t just “gold-ish.” It’s a specific shade that has to complement the 18k yellow gold without disappearing into it. Go too dark and it looks muddy. Too light and it’s boring. Clean Factory spent months getting this right, and it shows. They nailed a warm champagne tone with just a hint of pink that keeps it readable in any light.
- Under normal lighting, the dial looks almost vintage—subtle and relaxed. Take it outside, though, and it’s a whole different watch. It shifts between golden and silvery tones depending on how the light hits it. The darker subdials give you enough contrast to actually use the chronograph without ruining that smooth monochrome look. Honestly, it’s these little things that separate the good builds from the junk.
- The gold on this one feels different than on the white dial version. It’s not as in-your-face. Everything flows together—case, bracelet, bezel—in one cohesive warm tone. The gold markers sit naturally on the dial while the hands float above with just enough contrast. Less “look at my chronograph,” more “yeah, I know what I’m wearing.”
- Clean Factory went with proper 18k gold wrapping over 904L steel here, not the thin plating that wears off when you look at it wrong. The bezel’s wrapped too, with tachymeter markings cut deep and clean. In person, the gold finish is super consistent—any weird color variation would stick out immediately against the champagne dial.
- Movement-wise, it’s the Dandong 4130 with 44 jewels. Brand new, sealed from the factory. No franken movements or someone else’s serviced leftovers. A fresh movement means smooth winding, crisp chrono action, and no hidden issues down the line.
- Size stays true at 40mm across, 12.4mm thick. But here’s the thing—champagne dials wear bigger. Not in measurements, but visually. Those warm tones just pop more on your wrist than black or white ever will. Rolex knew exactly what they were doing.
- The biggest giveaway on cheap champagne dials? They either go full orange (hello, costume jewelry) or end up super pale (and just look boring). Some factories can’t even get the gold to match—imagine a bezel that’s a different shade than the crown. Clean Factory keeps everything from the same batch, so it all lines up perfectly.
- On the wrist, this watch just feels right. The white dial two-tone is for the office. This champagne dial? It’s for when you actually want to enjoy wearing your watch. It works with everything from a suit to shorts, and that’s kind of the point.
- Clean Factory backs these with a real two-year warranty on everything. For people who know that how a watch feels matters as much as how it looks, this model captures what makes the original special—sporty enough to be a tool watch, refined enough to be jewelry, and interesting enough to be worth wearing.

I really love this piece, would like to get one from the day I saw it! I’m a bit scared about the plating color in real life but see the one on your wrist and will love to get one and try it out! Will save for this purchase and get one as my next watch!

The movement in these is smooth! It winds as well as a gen MVT and you can barely hear it tick, setting the hands is also smooth without any slop or jerking, all hands were spot on register.
