Movement

Both factories use an Asia clone valjoux 7750 movement on this Tudor replica watch, this movement is absolutely not as stable as DD3135, DD3235 and DD4130, but if you do not operate its chronograph function so often, this movement also does not have issues in daily wearing and can work for many years.

Conclusion

In finishing this replica Tudor, Z and M+ has their own advantages, I can not say which one is better, after checking the comparison between the two watches, which one you prefer? By the way, the clasp on M+ can be locked more secure, while on the Tudor of Z Factory, the clasp is too easy to be opened. And if you want a flamingo blue or a pink model, do not buy from Z Factory, they make these two models with a wrong dial color.
