About ZF

I have introduced the stories and development of some watch factories on my blog, including APS, Clean and 3K, a lot of people read these stories and thought they are interesting.

Clean factory: https://www.susanreviews.com/2024/02/17/the-development-of-clean-factory/
3K factory: https://www.susanreviews.com/2024/02/10/about-3k-factory/
APS factory: https://www.susanreviews.com/2024/01/26/secrets-about-aps-factory/

Today, I will give an introduction of ZF. I have talked some things about ZF in another recent post, it is the relationship between APS and ZF, please read it here, https://www.susanreviews.com/2023/12/23/the-bromance-between-aps-and-zf/. Actually I know more things about Clean, Noob, AR and other factories than ZF, there are not many stories about ZF, in the past, I always thought that ZF is a big factory because they have published replicas involving many brands, but I was wrong, ZF is not big, they are not even a watch manufacturer, they just got replica watches from other factories and put “ZF” sticker on, and then sell to their clients, so I finally understand why the watches from ZF have higher prices than other factories.

Not like the other three factories we talked before, ZF is not a watch manufacturer, however, some watches from ZF are still worth buying.

First, the IWC Big Pilot, ZF bought the watches from AZ and changed with a better dial, price is a little higher than AZ Big Pilot. Worth buying.

Second, the IWC Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve, this watch from ZF is equipped with a custom-made 52010 movement, which was developed by APS and is the first generation of custom-made movements in this industry, that movement has about 3-day power reserve. ZF also changed with a better dial on the Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve, and this watch made ZF well-known all over the world. It is worth buying.

Third, Tudor replica watches from ZF all have a great quality, they are worth buying.

Fourth, about AP Royal Oak 15400 and 15500, I always recommend ZF, but now my thought changed, you can directly buy from APS factory, because ZF also got these two models from APS, but sell them at a higher price.

Sixth, it is Patek Nautilus 5711, ZF makes the best replica in the past before 3K factory developed the super clone 324 movement. Now, besides the blue/grey dial version, the replicas of other Nautilus 5711 models, I suggest you buy from 3K.

Seventh, replica Patek Nautilus 5712, only ZF makes it and this watch is really good and the movement is very stable. Worth buying.

Eighth, the last two watches are Franck Muller V45 and Breguet Tradition, these two watches have a very high quality and are worth buying.

Z Factory Published Two Big Pilot IWC Watches

Big Pilot is one of the best-selling watches of IWC. It has a very iconic onion-shaped crown that is very large. Among all IWC series, Pilot is the most popular one, while Big Pilot is the best-selling due to its large size under current big watch trend. There are a lot of Big Pilot models IWC has published, some already have accupied an important position in watch market, for example, the Big Pilot Prince. Today, I will introduce two new Big Pilot watches, one is made with Titanium, the other is made with solid bronze.

Two replica IWC watches are from Z factory, we call it ZF. Both watches have real power reserve and equipped with a clone IWC 52110 movement. The Titanium Big Pilot has a reference number IW510301, while the Bronzo Big Pilot has a reference number IW501005.

The following are specification of two watches.

First, Big Pilot Titanium.

Movement: Clone IWC 52110, Based on an Asia 23 Jeweled Automatic Movement
Case: 46mm*15.5mm, Solid Titanium Case with Satin Finish
Crystal: Sapphire with AR Coating
Dial: Black with Superlumed Hour Markers and Hands, Working Power Reserve Indicator at 3 o’clock
Bracelet: Brown Riveted Leather Strap with Deployant Clasp
Water Resistant: 30m

Second, the Big Pilot Bronzo.

Movement: Clone IWC 52110, Based on an Asia 23 Jeweled Automatic Movement
Case: 46mm*15.5mm, Solid Bronze Case
Crystal: Sapphire with AR Coating
Dial: Brown Dial with Superlumed Hour Markers and Hands, Working Power Reserve Indicator at 3 o’clock
Bracelet: Brown Riveted Leather Strap with Deployant Clasp

Both Big Pilot watches have a super quality, because they are from Z factory. Every detail is replicated so well, especially the delicated satin finish on the case, and the micro-sanded dial detail, they all represent the top-level manufacturing process in our watch market. However, although the power reserve indicator is working, it can not reach 7 days, you need to wind them every day to gain enough power.

YL Factory New Replica IWC Big Pilot Le Petit Prince Annual Calendar Rose Gold Watch

Replica IWC Big Pilot Le Petit Prince Annual Calendar

YL factory makes good quality replica IWC watches like Z factory, while YL is not as popular as ZF because they do not make other brand replicas like Panerai, Tudor and so on. This IWC Big Pilot watch is introduced in the latest 2018 SIHH, it integrates all functions you want in a watch. Some people said there are too many windows on the dial, which have destroyed the balance of watch beauty, but I think it is more practical with these functions. On the replica, it has the same functions as real watch, month, date, week, power reserve, they are all real. By the way, the 7-day power reserve is working the same as genuine watch, but the replica does not have that long power reserve, the clone movement only offers 3-days power reserve capacity, but that has already been amazing for a replica, because in the past it is not able for a watch factory to make such a replica with a long power reserve due to technology limited.

Replica IWC Big Pilot Annual Calendar Rose Gold

The case is made of 316L stainless steel and then has 18K rose gold coating plated, the gold coating is thick, which is almost 5 mils. You must concern whether the rose gold coating will fade or not, I must say yes, even gold coating on genuine watches will fade, but on the replica, it will keep its gold tone after two years of wearing, that’s enough for us. The case has a very big diameter, which is 46mm, even though the case is brushed very well, but check its case edge, it does not feel as smooth as replicas made by ZF. The back is see-through crystal, which uses sapphire like the crystal on the front.

Replica IWC Annual Calendar Blue Dial

The dial is in blue color, looks very charming. Amazong all IWC Le Petit Prince models, the one with blue dial is the most popular. Like the case, hour markers and hands all feature rose gold edge. Both subdials have refined circles, the small second hand is runniong on subdial at 9 o’clock. The subdial at 3 is an indicator that is displaying the remaining power reserve. It is marked with 7 DAYS, but the replica has 3-day power reserve. At 12 o’clock, there is a fan-shaped indicator that features three small windows, which displays month, date and week separately. The Annual Calendar function just works the same way as genuine watch. To get a better readability, the replica not only has big hour markers, it also has genuine Swiss lume material applied on markers and hands.

Replica IWC Annual Calendar Rose Gold Case

The movement is a clone IWC 52850. Look at the auto rotor, it is in golden and the prince is standing on his planet, and the planet will rotate as long as you shake your hand. The movement is decorated beautifully, base movement plate has polished Geneve Stripes. Each plate is cut well and molded carefully by watch master, so they could maintain the stability and accuracy of the movement. By the way, the replica IWC Le Petit Prince is fitted with a brown leather strap.

Z Factory Published IWC Big Pilot IW500901 Replica Watch with Real Power Reserve

IWC Big Pilot IW500901 Replica

In 2008, a small factory cloned IWC Big Pilot, whether its appearance or movement, it has a large gap with genuine watch, the power reserve is faux. After seven years, Z factory built this Big Pilot again, they updated the dial and movement construction, even the power reserve is real, which was increased from 42 hours to 12 hours. Big Pilot is one of the most classic series of IWC, the genuine watch is also sold at a high price, so, to have such an 1:1 replica is a dream of many people. Here I will give a review of Big Pilot IW500901 replica watch, which is a great timepiece with perfect function and closest movement.

IWC Big Pilot IW500901 Crown

Big case is brushed and almost has 47mm in diameter. The Pilot watch has a common case design that is similar to dress watches, its dial completely shows every thing clearly in front of your eyes. Seeing from the side of the case, you will find out the difference between 1:1 replica and those cheap replicas. The replica IWC is polished well, especially its bezel, it has a polished silver edge that looks like a mirror. The streamlined design of the case ensures a great fit to your wrist. Please check some photos below, the crystal reflects a little hue when under a certain angle, this indicates the sapphire crystal has a layer of anti-reflective coating. So the dial is very clear even under the sun light, it seems like the crystal is invisible.

Black dial is highly readable because of those large white hour markers and hands. There are numeral hour markers except at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock. The whole dial design meets the strict military requirement not only because the contrary color usage of black and white, but there are also lume material applied on markers at 3, 6, 9, 12 and central hour and minute hands, so the dial is readable even in the dark. The onion-shaped crown is an iconic feature of Big Pilot, it is very easy to open and rotate, the fit between it and the case is also perfect, so the replica could be water resistant to 50 meters.

Finally, it is about the movement, which is an clone IWC 51111 automatic. The movement has a functional power reserve, so the indicator for remaining energy is working, not faux like the one on previous IWC Big Pilot replicas. If you have a chance to own such a replica, you should open the back, and will find the reason why it is is sold at a high price, and the progress the replica watch factory has made.

IWC 5019 Ceramic Case

Have a look at the appearance of this replica IWC watch, the grey dial with white markers on it matching the ceramic case wonderfully. 48mm case with a 15.8mm thickness seems too big, but I think this is one of its specialty. Some of my customers would just love watches with big dial like this. The case is one piece mould and fine engineered balck ceramic brushed finish which is 1:1 compares to the original. The dial is covered by a sapphire crystal with Swiss standard double AR glass, this is really first class material for a replica watch. Move to the back, which is made of solid titanium as per original, with detailed top gun engraving on it. The only thing I don’t like this watch may be its bracelet, which is made of premium black nylon strap with insignia single fold over deployant clasp. The material makes it too casual, but this is just as the genuine way.
