Z Factory Replica Tudor Black Bay Pro GMT Watch – a homage of Rolex Ref.1655

Since the end of our new year holiday, a lot of watch factories have published new models, especially Clean and VS, they are competing for the replica Rolex watches market, Clean has published several new Daytona watches in recent days, while VS factory has unveiled some new Datejust models. I have not heard of any good news from Z factory for a long time, but only a bad news from my clients in last week, it is about the VC Overseas replica watch from Z factory, he complained the bracelet of this replica watch is not good, yes, two of my clients had complained the bracelet quality, and I have told this to my supplier in the factory, hope they can improve the quality and fix this in next batch, after all, a lot of people like to buy this replica VC Overseas watch, Z Factory, you can not charge us big money while still offering not perfect goods. The only good news about Z factory is that they just announced this new Tudor replica watch in last weekend. I like the watch, but not too much.

First, it is a vintage style Tudor watch, but it does not have its own features, completely looks like a homage of Rolex Explorer 1655. Since I wrote this blog, a lot of people asked me things about vintage Rolex replica watches, this Tudor Black Bay replica looks like vintage Rolex Explorer, but I do not think they will like it, what they really like, I think is still the real Rolex Explorer 1655 replica watch in good quality, not a homage one from Tudor, if Z factory can make a replica Explorer vintage Rolex 1655, that will be one of the most outstanding works in 2023.

The new replica Tudor Black Bay has a real GMT function, which is displayed by the light yellow hand on the dial and the 24-hour bezel together, the GMT hand can be adjusted with the crown. There are four places on the replica that make it a good vintage watch, first, the case and bracelet use brushing finish, second, hour markers are all luminous material without frame, third, the style of the bracelet, fourth, the shield logo on the buckle. The finish of the replica watch is good, after all it is made by Z factory, the brushing on the case and bracelet is delicate, which is contrast with the glossy polishing on the side of the case. 39mm case diameter makes the watch suitable for most men’s wrist.

The bezel can not be rotated, the 24-hour markers are engraved with black filling, each digit is aligned with the hour marker on the dial. The yellow gmt hand on the black dial easily catches your eyes, the Super-Luminova on the hour markers and hands is white and the lume light is very strong, although it can not last as long as that on genuine watch. I like the design of the hour markers, they do not have steel frame, that’s a different design from the regular Tudor Black Bay. There is a date window set at 3 o’clock, which features a black date font in a background that has the same color as the luminous material used on hour markers.

The replica has a bracelet that features a 5-position T-fit quick adjust clasp, like the genuine, it allows for 8mm adjustment, very easy to use. By the way, the watch is equipped with a clone ETA 2836 automatic movement, currently no extra band offered for this replica by Z factory.

VS Factory Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller 126603 Two Tone with 3235 Movement

This replica watch was published by VS factory in October, 2022, it is a two tone golden Rolex Sea-Dweller replica watch, the movement is its biggest advantage, it uses VS’s famous 3235 movement, which is also used in the Datejust and 41mm Submariner of VS. Clean factory has alwasy been the direct competitor of VS in Rolex field, so a lot of people asked me which factory makes the best Datejust and Submariner, Clean or VS? If VS has a better movement, so how about the case finish, dial and other details, which factory is better? Actually both VS and Clean have the same quality, the movement in Clean’s Datejust and Submariner is also good and has been tested for years. In my opinion, VS factory does not have an absolute advantage over Clean, the movement is not, and it is not like previous AR factory, whose case and bracelet on their Rolexs are much better, currently VS and Clean can not achieve this level.

The replica watch has a 43mm case that is measured to be 15mm in thickness. The case is made with real 904L stainless steel, actually, I do a little doubt if these super clone Rolexs are made with real 904L stainless steel, how to know if these watches from Clean or VS are using real 904L? About three years ago, these factories almost at the same time announced that their Rolex replicas are made with real 904L steel. The bezel is uni-directional rotating with black ceramic insert, VS claims that the ceramic is Swiss imported, that’s just a sales strategy to promote this watch. The bezel tooth is in yellow gold tone, I am happy with the yellow gold tone on the replica watch, it can be kept to be the same gold tone on the case, bezel and bracelet. I saw some golden replica watches, especially the wrapped gold Datejust models from GM factory, the gold tone on the case looks different from that on the bezel, this indeed exists.

The details on the black dial are completed very well, the printing of “SEA-DWELLER” has the same gold tone as that of case and bracelet, on this piece, everything on the dial looks perfect, many people care about the alignment of the big triangle marker and the crown logo, you can find they are aligned straightly. Be sure to tell your dealer to pick up a good timepiece, not all Sea-Dweller 126603 replicas made by VS factory have such a perfect dial.

The movement is a clone 3235 automatic, it is claimed by VS to be the best clone 3235 movement used in replica Rolex watches, VS factory said the movement is 72-hour power reserve, I did not test it, I can not believe a movement in a replica watch can have such a long power reserve, most replica watches I have seen before usually can work 35-40 hours continuously, maybe I need to do a test on this 3235 movement some day. Clean factory still has not made this Sea-Dweller replica watch, but I think they will publish it soon and sell at a price close to that of VS, why every timepiece from Clean is overpriced?

Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller Two Tone Watch

Replica Rolex Sea-Dweller Two Tone 126603

V7 Factory Mark XX Green

When talking about Pilot’s watch, the Mark series from IWC must be on the list, they have a classic design, the Big Pilot from IWC also meets people’s need for large Pilot’s watch, I remembered my first automatic watch, it is a Seiko, yes, a genuine watch, its has a very similar design to the old IWC Mark series watch, I bought this watch because I was deeply in love with IWC Pilot’s watch at that time. When I just entered this field, the first replica watch which I think as a super clone is a Mark XVI made by MK factory, it has been a very long time now. Now the popularity of IWC Mark series replicas has declined, and V7 is the best source to get replicas of IWC Mark series watches, first, they have a full collection, second, V7 is the first watch manufacturer to make the replica when there is a new Mark series model published by IWC. MK now has changed its name to MKS, they still make good quality replicas of IWC Mark series watches, but MKS does not update their catalog as quick as V7 does. What about ZF? Absolutely they have the strength to manufacture super clone IWC Mark series watches, they should try and offer us a genuine movement option, why put so much money in producing the Submariner? Now ZF still trying to sell their Submariner, and nobody purchases.

V7 published three Mark XX watches, each differentiates in dial color, there are dial color options of green, black and blue. The black and blue ones always look classic like the old IWC Mark series watch, while I like this green Mark XX more, it looks more fresh and modern.

The case of the new Mark XX still has a 40mm diameter like Mark 18, but its case thickness is reduced because the soft iron cover is taken off, now the case has a 10.83mm thickness. The case has a brushing finish, its streamlined edge has a smooth polishing finish, which is like the finish of the bezel. The height of the bezel and its slope are exactly the same as that of genuine watch. There is a plastic on the case back protecting being scratched, you can also see a sticker with factory name V7 on the case back. By the way, the airplane sculpture on the center looks nice, you will like it just at a first glance, but you may not decide to buy the replica after comparing this logo with that of genuine. Just like the S. L. C. logo on some replica Panerai watches, there are always differences.

The green dial looks beautiful and has a very high level of completion, both hour markers and hands have enhanced luminescence that looks very strong, not sure if it will last as long as that of genuine. However, not like before, now you can not easily find flaws on the dial of these super clone watches, every watch factory is trying to make the closest dial, but sometimes they ignored the finish of the sculpture on the case back, I have seen the sculpture engravings on a lot of replica watches, they have a good finish but can not be called to be first class, I think all watch factories should pay attention to this.

The replica Mark XX has two movement options. One is real Swiss SW300, price is higher. The other is a Sea-gull movement, which has a very close outlook and same function as Swiss ETA 2892, we usually call it Asian 2892, the movement picture below shows an Asian 2892 movement. Asian 2892 movement is also very stable, but SW300 is more accurate, but the replica with SW300 is much more expensive.

GR Factory Replica Patek Philippe 5396 Moon Phase Watch

I love this watch, its color and functions attract me deeply, it is made by GR factory, actually Z Factory also makes this watch, both have the same quality, I can not tell which one is better. GR is a good watch manufacturer, they usually act faster than Z Factory to publish the replicas of some Patek Philippe complications models, and prices are cheaper than Z. I admit that Nautilus and Aquanaut are the best sellers of Patek in our market, but whether the simple Patek Calatrava 5296 or the complication 5205, you always need one in your collection box. I introduced a rose gold 5296 Patek on my blog before, it is from Calatrava series and looks classic, and made by Z Factory. The replica watch I am going to show you today is another Patek Philippe, but with complicated functions and a similar reference, which is 5396, at the beginning, I thought it has some relationship with the Calatrava 5296, but I was wrong. This replica is made by GR factory, besides the rose gold, they also have stainless steel options, I show you this rose gold model because it looks more beautiful especially with the luxury brown alligator leather band.

GR factory has made several complicated Patek replica watches, the previous 5205R Moon Phase I reviewed before is one of such timepieces and also has a good quality. The case is classic Calatrava’s style, it is rose gold tone with perfect polishing, the hour markers and hands on the dial also use the same rose gold tone as the case, no need to say how good the case is manufactured, usually super clone watches from famous factories have good case finish. The back of each lug has little engravings, cheap and even moderate quality replicas usually ignore this important feature. The case is 38.5mm in diameter and has a 12mm thickness, I found an interesting thing, on the TD TrustyTime’s website, it saying 40mm*12mm in this watch’s description, while 38.5mm*12mm for the ZF version, a professional website made such a mistake. And if you browse on this website, you will find some other mistakes, for example, some Rolex replicas made with 316L stainless steel, but they saying 904L stainless steel in the description.

The functions are impressive, they are real and can be adjusted through the crown and buttons on the case. The moon phase indicator has sandblasting finish like genuine watch, the moon phase also rotate one circle per month, the same as genuine, it can be adjusted through the button on the case at 5 o’clock. I am a bit surprised that this replica uses a monthly moon phase indicator. The week and month are displayed in separate window at 12 o’clock, and they can be adjusted by the button at 10 o’clock and 3 o’clock. Because of its crystal back, we can appreciate the beautiful machinery with correct engravings on the plates and auto rotor, actually both Z Factory and GR Factory use Miyota 9015 as a base movement in this replica.

For such type of watches with complications, I like the golden model more, the band is actually made with calf leather but with embossed crocodile print, if you need more high-end genuine aligator leather band, it can be custom made in our market, price is good.
