This watch has come out for some time, Land-Dweller is a new model from Rolex, I know many of you guys have bought this watch from 8+, you know its quality but just wanted to check out how it is finished, right? My opinion? It can not be made to be the same as genuine watch, after all it uses Rolex’s new 7135 movement with a high frequency. Will Clean or VS make this watch? I think they will not make it in a short period, at least they won’t make it in this year. Maybe GM will make it soon with a better dial version, I just guess, but if you want to wait for the version with a super clone movement, will it come out within next three years? I think impossible.
How about the quality of this watch from 8+ Factory? It is made with solid stainless steel, the polishing on the case and bracelet is acceptable, but if you check its dial, you will find too many flaws, the following two pictures, the first one is from genuine watch, the second one is from 8+ Factory. The black printings on 8+ look thinner. The honeycomb motif on the dial of genuine watch looks more three-dimensional, while on the replica, to finish the honeycomb motif, 8+ almost scratched the entire dial, you can clearly see extra grooves between each honeycomb, does the genuine watch have such grooves? I saw it does not have on the picture below. If you’re wearing this watch and sitting face-to-face with your friend, he will know this is a replica watch, a cheap one, because the dial is easy to be identified.
About the movement, it is hard for the movement factory to clone, so 8+ directly uses a Japanese Miyota movement and made modifications on the auto rotor and plates. We can see the polishing on the movement is not too good, it even looks a bit rough. Pull out the crown to the second clicking position, the second hand will stop, rotate the crown counterclockwise to adjust time.
Do not buy this watch from 8+ at this time, there will be a factory that will make replicas with better dial details, just wait.

That fake movement makes it look like a toy. I’m going to enjoy it when I get mine. Can’t expect a fake to look like the real thing after all. And plus the movement of the genuine is never ever going to be copied. It’s too complicated.
