RC Day-Date

RC is a new watch maker in the market, currently manufactures good quality replicas of Rolex Day-Date with increased weight.

A lot of factories are making increased weight version of Rolex Day-Date in the market, everyone may have their own opinions when buying such a Day-Date and every factory claims that theirs have no case peel off issue. But as customers, you need to be careful when choosing such a watch because some really have case peeling off problem, some factories are selling such Day-Date watches at too high prices by just adding extra links on the bracelet to increase the weight but their watches still have the issue of case peeling off, I do not want to talk the factory name again, I mentioned it in my article here before. So, be sure to ask for honest opinions from your dealers before making the purchase.

As a new watch maker, how about the quality of the Day-Date from RC? It is good, but will the watch have the issue of case peeling off? I do not know, because their watches just came out, still need time to test.

Not like the latest V5 edition from QF and THB, RC does not add extra links on the bracelet to increase the weight. Also not like CBD, RC does not add height of each link of the bracelet to increase the weight. So, how did they do to increase the weight of the watch? As far as I know, the case back is added with extra weight, which is now up to 28.7 grams, and like GM and QF have done, RC also added the weight on the movement retaining ring, I opened the case back to check, the retaining ring looks much wider. However, doing these two jobs is not enough to increase the weight of the watch to be 209 grams, which is the same as the gen. So, what is their secret?

Like the watches from other factories, the Day-Date from RC also has advantages and shortcomings. Its gold tone looks nice, has a better gold color than the golden Day-Date from other makers. RC claims that you can do gold wrapping on the watch repeatedly, well, this needs to test. On their Day-Date, I also found some shortcomings, for example, on the edge of the hands, you can see burrs, well, this needs to be observed with a magnifier. The edge of the sapphire crystal is not finished as good as that on Clean Rolex. The Week font in the window at 12 o’clock is slightly thinner than that of the genuine. The shape of the Rolex crown emblem base is slightly different from that of the genuine. Well, I do like the sunburst finish on the dial, it looks beautiful.
