Patek Philippe Calatrava is one of my most favorite watches if I am looking for a classic and simple casual watch, in my heart, it has the same important position as IWC Portuguese 7 Day Power Reserve, I like them both. Stainless steel case, simple dial design and leather strap, this is a classic combination many people like, I think there must be one watch like this in your collection. In Calatrava, there are a few classic model I like, for example, 5227G, 5296G and the latest 6007A, they are all popular among people who are looking for the most classic dress watch, classic never goes out of style, especially when it is applied on such a big luxury watch brand – Patek Philippe.
For such simple classic watch, if you are looking for its replica, I suggest you find a big and famous watch manufacturer that make it, never consider those AAA or even moderate quality replicas made by unknown factories. Whether for IWC Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve or Patek Philippe Calatrava, the only watch manufacturer that makes the best replicas of them is Z Factory(ZF). In case finish, dial details and clone movement, the replicas of Portuguese 7 Days and Patek Calatrava are the best in our market, very close to genuine, so, do not waste your time to search for other manufacturers, ZF is the only choice.
The watch has a rose gold case, which is measured to be 38mm in diameter and 9mm in thickness, the round case and curved lugs are polished, the crown is screwed in and has delicate Patek Philippe logo, on the screw-down case back, the center is see-through sapphire crystal, you can see small engraving on the back of each lug, actually each engraving has their special meaning. The case diameter is exactly the same as original, but when it comes to case thickness, the replica is very close to the thickness of genuine watch, a little thicker I think. On this watch, the leather band is black, while ZF can change the brown leather band for you, well, everyone thinks a brown leather band looks better on the rose gold case.
The dial is special, track-style display for hours and minutes, so many lines on the dial in different lengths but they do not look cluttered. Leaf-shaped hour hand and minute hand as well as slender second hand are all blued steel, which add classic to the entire watch. There is a small square window at 3 o’clock to show black date font in white background. Compared with this watch, some people may prefer the model 5227G with empty dial. But I like this watch more just because of these tracking-style decoration on the dial.
This is a replica watch, not genuine, even through it is very close to genuine watch. While you can see another different version of this watch on the internet, the dealer say that the watch uses genuine watch parts, they call it “Frankenstein watch”, I know this name has been in the industry for years. Please check the following pictures, it is a PP 5296G in stainless steel with black leather strap, except the movement, other watch parts like case, dial, hand set, buckle and leather band are all from real watch, the case is real platinum, but the price is very very high. Do you think it is worth to buy such a Frankenstein watch?
The Big Bang Sang Bleu, it is a very popular Hublot watch in recent two years, several watch factories are making the replicas of it, including HBF and WWF, ZF is the third watch factory to make this replica Hublot, but only make two ceramic models, black and white, the price is also very high, the second generation of Sang Bleu is more popular than the first generation, the Sang Bleu is well known for its unique design in case and dial, the last Hublot replica watch ZF made is Hublot Unico, now they published this Sang Bleu days ago, we can see ambition of this watch manufacturer, perhaps they will make replicas of all Hublot Big Bang models which V6 factory manufactured before, this will really be a good news for us by then.
The Big Bang Sang Bleu from ZF is made with real ceramic material on case and bezel, there are two colors options, black and white. The case is 45mm in diameter with 14mm thickness. The case of Sang Bleu has completely abandoned the designs of regular Hublot Big Bang, it looks more angular now on Sang Bleu, the entire case looks like a castle. Both on the black and white model, the H-shaped screws are in silver tone. The logo on the crown is interesting, it is not just a common Hublot logo. Seeing from the case side, the case still has a sandwiched structure like other Big Bang, the material usage of ceramic, stainless steel and rubber reflect the “fusion” design concept of Hublot.
The dial design has some similarity to the design of the case, these triangle markers on the dial are just like the ones you see on the case, so that the entire watch keeps a very uniform style. The moving part you will immediately notice at 9 o’clock is the small seconds display. Under the sapphire crystal, actually the dial is not round, it is in the same shape as the hexagon you see on the bezel, the central circle with white markers is a 12-hour display. The small dial at 3 o’clock is for 60-minute chronograph display. By the way, there are five places on the dial that are applied with luminous material, you can clearly find them. There is a round date window positioned at 4:30. The dial is so unique, I am starting to like this watch now.
Compared with previous Big Bang Sang Bleu models made by HRF, HBF or WWF, these two ceramic Big Bang Sang Bleu from ZF are much better in finish, the movement decoration is also better. ZF have lived up to their reputation as one of the most famous watch manufacturers in our market. Many people bought from ZF because their watches are not only in high quality, but also have fewer after-sales problems.
Z factory, which is also called ZF, is a very famous watch manufacturer in this industry, they have produced a lot of high quality replica watches that cover brands of Rolex, IWC, Patek Philippe, Blancpain, Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille, etc., all of them are big Swiss brands, the quality of replica watches from ZF is also very good and has been recognized by watch fans at home and abroad. Just several days ago, ZF announced that there will be a price increase for all of their watches, I am not surprised, many clients complained the high price of these types of replica watches, but I tell you, their prices will increase continuously.
Today, I want to introduce a replica Blancpain watch, it is from Blancpain’s popular Fifty Fathoms product line, I think it is the best-selling model of Blancpain, Fifty Fathoms is also one of the most popular diver’s watches in the world. I introduced replicas of Blancpain Fifty Fathoms before, Noob and ZF made them, but now Noob is closed, the best replicas are made by ZF.
This replica discussed here was made by ZF in April, 2020, I did not notice this Fifty Fathoms model before, til today, I checked the category of ZF and found this watch, I was attracted by its mysterious “7” on the dial and the unique engravings on case back.
It is absolutely the best replica you are looking for, but also with high price, the Fifty Fathoms is a “Nageurs de Combat” limited edition, I think the case back engraving is related to its name, but I do not know the meaning. The watch is in size of 45mmx15.7mm, the bezel uses a domed sapphire crystal like genuine watch, the markers inside look a bit greenish, just like the indices on black dial, they are all applied with SuperLume, the lume light from bezel markers and dial is the same, which is green, it is very strong and long lasting.
The black dial features big hour markers and wide hands that are applied with SuperLume, so, high readability is guaranteed in poor light condition or even in deep sea. The black number “7” is embossed, like genuine watch, the number “7” has a glossy black finish, which is in contrast with the black dial. The dial window at 4:30 is small but with a white font, so you will get a easy reading, just need a glance at the dial.
The replica watch is equipped with an Asian clone 2836-2 automatic movement, which has a frequency of 28,800bph, together with Miyota 9015, both are the most widely used movements in replica watches, they are trusted.
Richard Mille replica watches are very popular in recent weeks, many readers asked me if there are high quality replica Richard Mille watches, I said yes, ZF and KV are both factories that make the highest quality replicas of Richard Mille, for some Richard Mille Tourbillon watches, then JB factory makes the best ones. But for all Richard Mille replica watches, their water resistance is not good, whether it is V3 or V4 edition, do not wear it when swimming or even washing your hands.
This Richard Mille replica watch is made by ZF, it is a Bubba Watson limited edition, this is the V3 edition from ZF, I wrote an article about Richard Mille V4, which is completed by cooperation with ZF and ABD, but now the ultimate V4 edition is no longer produced, probably ABD department does not cooperate with ZF any more. The V3 edition of this Richard Mille replica is already good enough, it has a high quality forged carbon case, the carbon textures on the case and bezel look very beautiful.
Compared with older versions of Richard Mille, the carbon texture on V3 is closer to genuine watch’s NPNT, while on some website, they said the carbon and bezel use real NPNT, that’s not true, the replica uses common forged carbon material, it is just the carbon texture looks better than before.
On most dealers’ website, even those TDs like TrustyTime, they said the watch is water resistant to 30m, this is also not true, most Richard Mille replica watches are not water resistant, so is this RM Bubba Watson. If you want a replica Richard Mille that is able to be water resistant, I am afraid that none of them can do that.
By the way, this Richard Mille looks good, it is fitted with a blue rubber band, the white rubber cap on the crown is not a good match for the blue band, but you can buy an extra blue rubber cap and replica it by yourself.
At last, check the specification of this replica.
Movement: Japanese Seiko NH05A Automatic Case: 42mm50mm12.5mm, Forged Carbon Crystal: Sapphire with Purple AR Coating Dial: Skeleton Bracelet: Blue Rubber Strap with Deployant Clasp
Now, there are not too many new models in our market, because of the raid, Noob will not provide watches any more, which means one factory that can offer the best Rolex Daytona, Submariner and GMT-Master II will disappear, you guys lost a very valuable watch resource. However, currently in watch market, no other factory can replace Noob’s position, although Clean factory claimed that they will offer top quality replicas of GMT-Master II and Submariner one month ago, but it is very slow for them to release their watches, I ordered a GMT-Master from Clean factory several weeks ago, and it still have not arrived, maybe it is normal during this special situation. Among these big watches factories, the only one that can keep its previous delivery speed is ZF, once you place an order from ZF, they usually deliver the watch within 3 days.
Today, the watch I am going to show you with pictures is exactly made by ZF, it is an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15500, not in silver stainless steel, but in DLC black outlook, the watch is totally in black color, I do not like this style, it is a better watch for a tough guy, for a stainless steel Royal Oak 15500, I still think it is too big for me. Perhaps some people like such type of DLC black watches, just like they asked me a lot about the Submariner PVD black models before. The DLC coating is thick, I think it won’t fade easily.
The DLC version of Royal Oak 15500 has four models, which are different from each other in dial color, there are black, white, blue and gray, I do not like them all, but I must say their quality is very good, you can always believe in the quality of replica watches from ZF, currently their watches represent the highest watch-making technology in the entire watch market.
Here is specification:
Movement: Super Clone 4302, Based on Japanese Miyota 9015 Automatic Case: 41mm*11mm, Solid 316F Stainless Steel with DLC Black Coating Crystal: Sapphire with AR Coating Dial: Black Checkered Dial with Stick Hour Markers Bracelet: Solid 316F Stainless Steel with DLC Black Coating Water Resistant: 30m
I thought it will be a big year for all watch factories in 2021, but I was wrong. The first quarter in 2021 is a big disaster for all watch factories, because they all face the worst and most frequent raiding actions they have ever met, for example, the last raid took a long time, many factories had to be closed, today, some are still not back to work, like Noob. Fortunately, several days ago, XF, V6 and VS factories announced that they will be back soon, and they are accepting orders now, so you can place orders with them, but just need to wait before your order is shipped.
During the last raid, only several big factories still accepted orders, like ZF, EW, PF, PPF, etc., I think ZF is the biggest factory among them, today, some IWC Portuguese replica watches I show below are exactly made by ZF, this factory makes the best replicas of IWC Portuguese, and their main competitor YLF also makes Portuguese replicas but the quality has a large distance.
This time, ZF published three models of the new Portuguese, one features a white dial with blue hour markers, one with a blue dial, the third one has a white dial with golden markers. I like the one with blue dial and black leather strap. The new Portuguese looks more simple than Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve, however, the price of the new Portuguese from ZF is much lower than the Portuguese 7 Days, some people who like IWC watches with simple design may consider it.
I think there is no need to say how good the case finish on the new Portuguese, ZF is a big factory, the case finish on this watch, like you see on the pictures, is in high quality level. ZF makes AP 15400 replicas and directly compete with J12 factory, we all know that J12 factory has a high requirement in case finish, if ZF AP 15400 can compete with J12 and are even sold better, I can say that the ZF also has done a hard work in case finish.
The movement can be clearly seen through crystal case back, it is a common automatic movement, ZF just made some modifications on the auto rotor and plates so that it can look like genuine IWC 82200 Calibre slightly. It is a custom made movement, but can not be compared with the one in Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve, even both from ZF, but I can say the latter looks more beautiful and is closer to genuine.
Now it is almost the end of 2020, for many people, they lived very hard in this year because of COVID-19. Fortunately, our government has been doing a very good job in controlling the COVID-19 at the beginning, so, COVID-19 now is basically under control in China, we are very safe. When walking on the road or in shopping malls, we do not need to wear masks, but had to wear when taking a train. I read international news every day, I know this virus still goes crazy in the United States and most European countries, so I hope you guys can wear mask when outside, health is the most important thing.
Back to the topic, let’s make a summary before the end of 2020, I will talk top ten best-selling replica watches in this year, it is just my personal opinion, if you never bought replica watches before and just a beginner, you can take my advice and choose watch from this top ten list, if you are an expert, please share your thought with us by leaving comments below.
1.Noob Daytona 116500
Daytona 116500 must be the best seller of Noob factory in 2020, it has been a hot model over one year, and the latest version is V4. Some people think that Noob Submariner should be in the first position, but in my opinion, the Daytona from Noob is the number one, it is more stable than Submariner from Noob, people who bought Daytona from Noob never complained its quality, the movement also had no issues. About Daytona 116500, both models in white dial and black dial are selling very well. Daytona 116500 from Noob is made with 904L stainless steel, it is equipped with Noob’s best Super Clone 4130 movement.
2.ZZF Submariner 116610LV
It is controversial, some people think that Noob Submariner should be in this position, but I think Submariner 116610LV from ZZF is more suitable. In 2020, ZZF made two big improvements on Submariner 116610LV, the first improvement was made on its bezel, now ZZF Submariner 116610LV has the most pure green ceramic bezel, no dark spots and platinum markers never become dark. In my memory, after this improvement, ZZF Submariner 116610LV was soon sold out and people could not get it during the next months. The second improvement was made on the bracelet, it was completed in October, because of this improvement, ZZF Submariner 116610LV has a great quality finish on bracelet, which is the same as that of ARF Rolex. Nowadays, even Noob has updated their Submariner 116610LV to V11 edition, but in the sales, Noob still can not compete with ZZF.
3.Noob Submariner 116610LN
Black Submariner 116610LN has the same popularity as green Hulk, Noob has updated their Submariner 116610LN to V11 edition, it is a perfect replica, actually before ARF and VSF, Noob Submariner has always been the best-selling replica watch, I mean, it had no competitors before and was the best of best in our market, now, many competitors appeared like ARF and VSF, especially VSF, I think VSF Submariner 116610LN will beat Noob Submariner 116610LN in next year. Considering that VSF just published their Submariner 116610LN in the second half of 2020, I think Noob Submariner 116610LN still owned the biggest share in this market.
4.ARF Datejust II 126334 Grey
Datejust is one of the best-selling Rolex replicas, it is reasonable that its position is in No. 4. Among so many Datejust models from different factories, I think the best one is made by ARF, especially the Datejust II 126334 collection. Among 126334 collection, the best-selling one is the grey model, now Datejust II 126334 has been updated to V3 edition, it is made with 904L stainless steel, but unfortunately, ARF only offers A2824 movement option in this watch. Good news for us is that VSF will publish the one with 3235 movement soon, maybe in this month. So, I think VSF Datejust will become the best-selling Datejust in 2021.
5.PPF Nautilus 5711 Blue
The latest version of Nautilus 5711 from PP factory now comes to V4 edition. The most classic model of Nautilus 5711 from PPF is the blue one, many people choose Nautilus 5711 blue model from PPF because they made the dial color correct. PPF Nautilus 5711 is measured to be 8.5mm in thickness, which is very close to thickness of genuine watch, genuine Nautilus 5711 is 8.3mm. By the way, there are also good quality Nautilus replicas made by other factories like GRF, 3KF, PF, etc. If you want Nautilus 5711 with the most correct blue dial color, please go with PPF.
6.ZF AP 15500
The No. 5 best seller is Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15500, which is made by ZF. 15500 replica has just been released by ZF, not long time ago, but it has a big amount of sales, which has exceeded the sales of the classic RO 15400. Actually I am a little hesitant because JF RO 15400 is also sold very well, the latest V5 edition of JF 15400 has become so perfect that you can not find any flaws, however, it seems like more people are willing to buy new RO 15500 in this year. I think JF will also publish their 15500 replica soon.
7.Noob GMT-Master II 116710BLNR
Too many GMT-Master II models were published in this year, while the best-selling one is still the Batman 116710BLNR. Several factories make the replica Batman, including Noob, ARF, VRF and V9F, I think the best one is made by Noob factory. GMT-Master II 116710BLNR Batman has been one of the best-selling Rolex replicas of Noob for many years, now its version has been updated to V11, the watch now is made with 904L stainless steel and equipped with a Super Clone 3186 movement. I highly recommend Noob Batman because the black/blue bezel color is correct.
8.VSF Seamaster Diver 300m Black
Omega should have a position in this top ten list, many Seamaster models are selling very well in our market, in my memory, the best-selling and most frequestly asked one belongs to Seamaster 300m, I mean the model with a wavy dial. Real watch was unveiled by Omega in 2018, its replica watch came out in 2019, now there are still many people purchasing this watch. VS factory makes the best replica Seamaster Diver 300m, next is OM factory. Besides this black, a lot of people also love the blue one. For band, VS factory offers stainless steel bracelet and black rubber strap for this watch, about movement, it is the best clone 8800 Calibre with black balance wheel like genuine.
9.V6F Big Bang 44mm
Hublot is a very popular brand, many people love their watches, especially those who love sports activities like football. Because its high popularity in the world, Hublot is also one of the mostly replicated brand watch in our market, there are many good quality Hublot replicas, most are made by V6 factory, the Hublot I want to recommend here is a Big Bang made of stainless steel, bezel is black ceramic, with a clone HUB4100 movement. I think this one is the best seller among all Hublot Big Bang replica watches. Certainly, I have to admit that the Classic Fusion of Hublot is also on hot sale.
10.XF AP RO 15202 Blue
Plus 15202, there are two AP replicas on this top ten list, both 15500 and 15202 are best sellers of Audemars Piguet. After the release of 15202 replica by XF, many people asked about this watch and bought it from me, and the feedback is positive. I also like this replica watch, first, it is made by XF, which is a big factory, so the quality of the replica is guaranteed. Second, the movement is custom made 2121 automatic movement, it offers a time and date setting that is the same as genuine watch. Third, many people bought it mainly because AP 15202 from XF has a thin case, which is measured to be only in 8.2mm. By the way, the latest version of XF 15202 now comes to V2.
In this top ten list, there are five Rolex watches, yes, there are many Rolex replicas that are selling very well in our market, even I can make a list of top 10 or top 20 best-selling Rolex replicas, it is easy. But these ten replica watches in this list are the best of best, highly recommended and they can be your first choice. Certainly, about every brand like Audemars Piguet, IWC, Hublot, Cartier and Omega, I can make a list of top 10 best sellers, it is not difficult to do this, after all many watch factories are making top quality replica watches, they compete with each other, so this forces them to improve their watches quality continuously. If you guys have your own top 10 watches, please share with us.
Like Rolex, Tudor is one of the perfectly-replicated brands, in recent years, more and more people choose Tudor, so this brand also has accumulated a high popularity in replica watch industry. With the rising hotness of diver’s watches, many people love to consider Tudor Black Bay, after all, its classic and highly-recognizable dial design is attractive, besides, under Rolex, the quality is guaranteed.
On best-selling replica watches top 20 list, I think there should be one place for replica Tudor Black Bay, several big factories also have made replicas of Tudor watches, including ZF, XF, etc. In my memory, several Tudor replica watches are still very hot today, for example, Tudor Black Bay Red, Tudor Black Bay Bronzo by XF and Tudor Pelagos black or blue by XF, they are replicated so well and prices are much lower than other watches, so, a lot of people are willing to add one Tudor in their replica watches collection.
Today, the replica watch I am going to introduce is a new Tudor Black Bay model, the watch is made by Z factory, we call it ZF here, the Tudor replica watch has a case diameter of 39mm, it is only 12mm in thickness, it is suitable for most men’s wrist. Blue is the only color of this watch but looks very fresh and clean. Aluminum alloy bezel insert is blue, which is in line with the blue color on the dial. Blue is the only color of this watch, it looks good for me, but black dial may be more acceptable for some people.
The bezel is uni-directional rotating, you can rotate it in anti-clockwise direction, the lumed pearl is set at 12 o’clock on the bezel, you can see a small round hole with white lume coating inside, in dark conditions, it will emit green light like the hands and hour markers on blue dial.
The crystal is sapphire, which is dome-shaped and features colorless anti-reflective coating, so even under strong sun light, you can still get the time from the dial clearly, because this sapphire crystal has a very high transparence. The domed crystal is one retro design element I like, another one is its rivet bracelet, you can not see such rivet bracelet on most Rolex’s watches but only on some vintage Submariner model, I think these two retro elements are also the reason for some people to choose Tudor Black Bay.
At last, the Tudor Black Bay Fifty Eight blue watch is equipped with a clone ETA 2824 automatic movement, but if you want a Swiss ETA, we can help you to change.
This is a big news for us, it is true, ZF just published their V3 edition of the replica Richard Mille RM35-02, check photos below, it is a very impressive watch, it is also a good timepiece for people who are always looking for high end replica Richard Mille watches. Now, this RM can completely fulfill your need, it is an exact copy of original, high recommended.
We know ZF factory just published the V2 edition of replica RM35-02, but the result was that V2 is still not perfect, now, how about the V3? It is very good, because the watch is not independently developed by ZF themselves, it is produced by ZF and ABD together. What is ABD? Actually the three letters are abbreviation of “All Black Department”, they do custom-made Richard Mille work and have been very famous in this field. However, the custom-made RM from ABD is always sold at a very high price, while this time, the V3 edition developed by ZF and ABD has a reasonable price, very exciting, you guys can it a try, it is currently the best RM replica that looks closest to genuine.
The V3 RM35-02 developed by ZF uses genuine carbon material developed by NTPT, do you know NTPT? They offered special material for many sports brands, Richard Mille is one of these brands, NTPT and RM have been keeping a very good cooperation in recent years. This time, ZF uses the real carbon material from NTPT, the same material as genuine RM watch, I do not know how ZF get such important material from NTPT, maybe they spent a lot of money. The textures and wavy patterns on the case are finely modified by watch master from ABD, check the case between V2 and V3, you will find the carbon textures on V3 RM case has been greatly improved, it is really impressive.
Besides, on this replica, the factory said that its sapphire crystal, rubber cap on the crown, rubber band and titanium clasp can also be used on genuine watch. At last, please appreciate its detailed pictures.
Nowadays, a lot of Swiss brands are willing to develop new materials in their watch-making process, for example, the famous sports watch brand Hublot, is a pioneer in this field, you can find many amazing Hublot models that are made with different materials that are still not used by other brand watches. But today, I want to create a new topic, it is about bronze watch. In the past, few watches are made with bronze, but more and more brands are now using this material in their watch manufacturing, such as Panerai, IWC, Tudor, and the Zenith I am going to introduce today. In the end of this article, I also make a summary of bronze watches that are available in our market, if you are interested in any of them, please let me know.
First, this Zenith replica watch is made by XF factory, it was just released by the factory one day ago, so on most dealers’ websites, you can not find this watch. The replica is made with solid bronze material, its case, bezel, crown and lugs are all made with bronze, and the watch is very big, which is measured to be 45mm in case diameter, absolutely not including the size of the big crown. So, if you like large pilot watch, this Zenith will be a good choice.
Besides the bronze tone, big face, big hour markers and strong dial lume are another three selling points of this Zenith watch. Zenith Pilot replica watch was published several years ago, but it was not sold very well, I do not think this bronze version will succeed, in our market, few people like to buy Zenith, if they want a bronze watch, they are more willing to choose from IWC, Panerai or Tudor because these brands are more popular than Zenith.
The hour markers are big and are fully applied with luminous material. At the beginning, those markers and hands will show you a strong lume light in dark conditions, they look slightly green even during the day, no matters, the green is exactly in line with the bronze tone, I like it, even I do not like such big watch, it is too big for me.
The Zenith is equipped with one pair of brown leather band that is fitted with big buckle, which is made of stainless steel. The brown leather strap is also a good match of the bronze case, color perfectly matches with each other. Will someone prefer with a bronze buckle? Inside the replica, it is an Asia clone eta 2824 movement, it is lying behind the case back that is fixed by screws, not screw-down.
At last, I share some other bronze watches that are available in our watch market.
