原单 Factory Tudor Pelagos 39mm with SW200 Movement

Before introducing this watch, I would like to tell you that those watch factories will close their stores and go to spend our traditional Chinese New Year holiday soon. And most of them have stopped accepting returned watches for repairing. If you want to order watches before our holiday, now it is the time. Because it needs several weeks to order some specific watches from the factories, for example, ordering GMT-Master super clone from Clean, so I suggest you take the action now.

What is 原单? I have expained it in one of my previous posts at https://www.susanreviews.com/2023/09/08/what-is-%e5%8e%9f%e5%8d%95/. Simply speaking, 原单 watch is not genuine watch, it is also a replica watch, but uses a genuine Swiss movement inside.

About the best replicas of Tudor Pelagos, they were made by XF before, but this black Pelagos, which has a 39mm case, not not made by ZF or XF, I only found it in 原单 category. The entire case is brushed, the black dial and black ceramic bezel have sunburst finish, it is the first time for me to see a sunburst finish on a ceramic bezel, in the past, I only saw smooth gloss finish on a ceramic bezel. The 39mm case diameter is a more suitable size for most people.

原单 watch has two big features, first, the finish on the case and bracelet is not as good as that on super clones made by big factories such as VS, ZF and Clean, but their finish is much better than the middle quality replicas. Second, the movement is from the Switzerland, it uses a real Swiss movement. Like this black Tudor Pelagos, it is equipped with a SW200 automatic movement, which is also the reason why it has a higher price than other replica watches. By the way, each 原单 watch comes with an original box.

Sometimes I do not suggest you buy 原单 watches because they are too expensive, and for some details on the dial, they are not made as good as that on super clones. If you have enough budget, I would rather advise you to buy a Fraken watch.

Clean V3 Pepsi GMT-Master

It has been less than a month since the release of V2 edition of Pepsi GMT-Master, now Clean just published the V3 edition of this watch in last week. I took some pictures of the V3 and some comparison photos between V2 and V3. Clean facotory also raises the price on the latest V3 edition.

Here come the pictures of the V3, the replica watch looks very nice, Clean has made several improvements on this replica, the biggest change lies in the movement, which is from 3186 to Dandong 3285. Then the color of the ceramic bezel was improved twice in recent two months. Do you like the latest blue and red color on the V3? The red color looks slightly brighter than that on the V2. I did not see genuine watch and do not know which color is more correct. By the way, now Clean only offers the latest V3 edition for this Pepsi GMT-Master.

The comparison photos between them, the left watch is V3 edition, the right one is V2 edition.

When I light the bezel with a laser pointer, the red on the V3 edition looks more transparent. In the following three pictures, the right one is V3.

New Datejust from Clean

Now in super clones field of Rolex, the two giants are Clean and VS, the watches coming from Clean almost cover each series of Rolex, while VS also makes replicas of a lot of Rolex watches, but not including the Daytona. I hope VS factory can make Daytona in 2024, because I want to see what improvements can still be made on the Daytona.

The absolute advantage of Clean is its Daytona, BT still can not compete with them. The absolute advantage of VS lies in its Dandong 3235 movement, this is the key factor why VS still can compete with Clean in the Rolex replica field. Because of the Dandong 3235, many people have a buying misunderstanding, which is the watch is the best as long as it uses a Dandong 3235 movement, the Datejust is an example, but Clean also makes super clones of Datejust, I think both have the same quality level. Now the only problem is that ordering a Datejust from both factories will take a long time. Clean and VS have published a lot Datejust replica watches, but both factories only keep several popular models in stock. The following pictures show some new Datejust watches that were just published by Clean, but if you want to order anyone of them, I am afraid you need to wait for several weeks.

These new models are in two tone style, there are yellow gold and rose gold, the bracelet also has Oyster and Jubilee options, among them, I like the two with mother-of-pearl diamond dial and the one with light pink dial. They are perfect new year gifts for women who love big watches.

There are indeed differences you can see on the Datejust watches between VS and Clean, but I can not tell you which factory is the best because I have not seen genuine watches. However, for a specific model like black, blue or silver one, perhaps one factory does better in some details than the other factory, you need to ask advice from your dealer, but VS Datejust has a longer power reserve, which is about 60 hours, while on Clean Datejust, the power reserve is only about 40 hours.

The Bromance Between APS and ZF

Just in this week, ZF released the replicas of Royal Oak 15450, which have a 37mm case diameter and are measured to be 9.8mm in thickness. They are equipped with the super clone 3120 movement developed by APS factory. There are three colors available, gray, white and blue, please check the pictures of them in the end of this article. Actually I have introduced the replica AP Royal Oak 15450 watches on my blog, they were firstly published by APS factory just two weeks ago, now ZF followed the step of APS and published the same watches. If you ask me which factory makes the best, I would say it is a correct choice no matter which factory you buy from. ZF had cooperation with APS before, but from now on, I am more convinced of their bromance.

Like ZF, APS also has been in this industry for many years, but it is still younger than ZF. When APS just entered this industry, ZF has been famous for some time because of some Panerai replica watches they made, for example, the PAM 127, this is a very hot replica Panerai watch in the past, ZF made it really good and competed with Noob. In 2016, APS seized an opportunity and cooperated with YL factory, both developed an important movement together, which is the clone 51011 that was later used in the replica IWC Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve watches made by ZF. So, we know that the famous watch Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve from ZF is actually using the movement given by APS factory. Even YL also published the replicas of Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve, but they still could not compete with ZF at that time, some people said that ZF has better finish on the case and dial on this replica watch.

Why did APS give movement 51011 to ZF? I guess they need the protection of ZF, because APS just entered this industry and ZF has a strong background. Do you still remember the raid ? I do not know exactly whether it happened two or three years ago, many big factories were closed, including Noob and ARF, but ZF and APS survived.

Next, it is about the super clone AP 3120 movement, which is also developed by APS factory. In the past, ZF used a Miyota 9015 movement in the Royal Oak 15400, on the basis of Miyota 9015, ZF added extra plates and made decorations to let final movement look closer to genuine AP 3120. Several years later, APS spent money and developed a super clone AP 3120 movement, as far as I know, this movement was manufactured by Shanghai xx xx. Because of this movement, the case thickness of replica Royal Oak 15400 and 15500 is much thinner and closer to that of genuines. By the way, APS also gave this movement to ZF, that’s also a big reason why 15400 and 15500 from ZF are being sold so well. Seeing from this thing, the friendship between ZF and APS is really solid. APS factory has also published the replicas of 15400 and 15500, they continuously improve them, but their watches are still not sold as well as ZF.

APS acted faster than ZF but they are always thinking of the latter.

Z Factory Replica Rolex Daytona 126500 with Shanghai 4130 Movement

Just several weeks ago, Z factory announced the release of the Daytona replica watches, are you familiar with them? The black one and white one, look like Daytona 116500, but the ones Z factory published this time are the replicas of the latest Daytona 126500 that were made by Rolex in 2023. The 126500 Daytona has some changes upon the previous 116500, but the replicas from Z factory are not good, I do not recommend.

Its quality is ok, but there are too many differences when you compare it with the genuine watch, and the differences are too obvious, I think it has a solid quality, 904L stainless steel, sapphire crystal and Shanghai 4130 movement, all these elements make it a high quality replica, but not a super clone in my opinion, no people will buy the 126500 from Z factory, especially at this moment when all people are seeking for perfection.

I just did some searches on the pictures of genuine Daytona 126500 and found the replica is greatly different from the genuine, first, its case shape is not correct on the replica, especially on the lugs, second, the most obvious flaw you can immediately noticed is its three subdials, which should be thinner and smaller, but Z factory uses the subdials that are in the same size as the 116500, that’s a big mistake, even the hour markers are thinner, but the subdial on the replica 126500 is a very obvious flaw. I do not think people will buy this watch.

Why did Z factory unveil this new Daytona 126500 so urgently? Because they want to make more money. We know Z factory makes some good quality replicas, such as IWC Portuguese, Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15400 and 15500, Patek Philippe Nautilus and Aquanaut, etc., they make a lot of models, but today only several watches can earn money for Z factory, they are AP 15400, 15500 and Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711, while among these watches, Z factory is facing the direct competition from APS and 3K factory, so I think they earn much less money than before. So, Z factory need to open another project, actually they have such a plan several years ago, from the release of the replica Rolex Submariner, we can tell that Z factory wanted to enter into the Rolex field, then Z factory published the Daytona replicas, we can see they are very eager to make a success in Rolex field, but they failed. Nobody wants to buy Submariner and Daytona from Z factory in the past, and the latest 126500 replicas published by them this time are also bad clones.

Absolutely there will be super clones of 126500 Daytona in future, I think Clean or BT will release half a year later.

The New Trend – Replica Watches with Increased Weight

All news are about replica watches with increased weight in recent days, actually it is the hottest topic people have been talking about since the second half of this year. Nowadays, replica watches are made closer and closer to genuine watches, but people are still pursuing perfection, so some persons in the market will do custom-made jobs on these replica watches made by famous factories like Clean, ZF and VS, I think they are the first to use the case with increased weight on replica watches, and then the factories found this business opportunity and also participated in. The two factories that firstly make replica watches with increased weight are GM and GS, which published the Day-Date replicas with increased weight, in my memory, they were very popular once being published to our market.

Then another factory appeared, its name is TED, they make a YachtMaster 226659 replica with increased weight, it is said TED is a sub-branch of VS company, but I think it is just a small studio opened by somebody that has a good relationship with VS, so he can sell this watch in the name of VS.

Now the factories we discuss the most is Gold and APS, Gold factory makes replicas of Daytona and YachtMaster with increased weight, APS makes replicas of Daytona and Royal Oak 15400 with increased weight, Gold seems to be more popular. There are some rumors about Gold factory in our market, someone said that Gold is operated by Clean, most people said that Gold is a watch part factory that makes cases and has been in the market for years, I choose to believe the latter one. Now Gold factory only makes the Daytona and YachtMaster models with rubber band. Today, I choose the Daytona with gray dial and rubber band from Gold and APS to take some pictures and make a simple comparison between them.

Both Gold and APS use tungsten steel in the case, but not all pure tungsten steel, the case is made with tungsten steel alloy material, or it is too hard. The weight of the APS Daytona is 145.2 grams, while Gold is 142.9 grams, this Daytona from Clean is around 109 grams, so each Daytona from Gold and APS is more than 30 grams heavier than the Daytona from Clean or BT. However, there is still a weight difference because genuine watch is around 160 grams. Because of the added tungsten steel, the case of the Daytona from both factories may not be polished as well as the one of Clean Daytona, this is true, you can check the case back and the lugs, because tungsten steel is harder and is not easily polished as smooth as the stainless steel.

The biggest difference absolutely lies in the movement, Gold Factory uses a Dandong 4130 movement in this Daytona, while APS uses Shanghai 4130, I still prefer the Daytona with Dandong 4130 movement, because this movement has been tested to be very reliable for years, while Shanghai 4130 is still new to us, currently it is only installed by the Daytona replicas made by ZF and APS. Well, this may be the reason why this Gold Daytona is much more expensive than the APS Daytona.

The case shape and size on the two watches are very similar, I assume that they came from the same watch part factory. The gray dial is slightly different in color, I can not say which one is better, but both are not as good as the dial of Clean Daytona. On the clasp, the engravings on the APS Daytona is thicker and deeper, both Gold and APS use 904L stainless steel on the clasp. At last, please check the pictures of the Daytona from both, the one with a dog head icon is from Gold factory, the other with a green sticker is from APS factory.

ZF V2 Replica Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712r Moon Phase

Replica Patek Philippe 5712r

Nautilus 5712 is a very controversial replica watch in this field, it has many things to talk about, people also have different opinions on whether this replica watch is worth buying or not. Years ago, ZF published the first replica Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712 watch that is made with stainless steel and has a blue dial, but the power reserve on that replica is fake, later ZF updated the 5712 with a new better clone 240 movement that features a real power reserve, it is the V2 edition, ZF sold it at a very high price.

Patek Philippe 5712 Dial

About this rose gold Nautilus 5712r, actually ZF published the V1 edition in September, now just in this week, ZF upgraded this replica watch to V2, it now has become a better replica, but in my opinion, this rose gold 5712r is not a super clone, the stainless steel Nautilus 5712 with blue dial is a super clone, but this rose gold model has some big differences when being compared with the genuine watch.

Patek Philippe 5712r Bracelet

I checked the official website of Patek Philippe and found this rose gold Nautilus 5712r, the dial of the genuine watch is in brown color that exactly matches its rose gold tone, while on the replica, the dial color does not look brown but more like grey, this is a big difference, very easy to tell when you wearing this replica among your friends. Another big difference lies in its clasp, whose structure is different from that of genuine. The third big flaw is the engravings on the movement plate do not look that three-dimensional on the genuine. These three differences are very obvious and this is also the reason I do not suggest you buy this replica at the moment.

The replica watch has some selling points, its super clone 240 movement, correct case shape with similar case thickness, correct functions like genuine watch. Well, we still expect that ZF can correct its dial color soon, otherwise no person wants to buy this watch. Many dealers in our market are doing custom-made jobs on the replica watch, like replacing the imperfect dial or bezel with genuine parts, they also see the imperfections on this rose gold replica 5712r and some of them have made modifications on the replica, like the one I show below, this replica 5712r has been replaced with SW’s dial and hands, the moon phase has also been replaced with the moon phase of VVS, the SW and VVS here are two factories that make watch parts in our market. The molder also uses a solid rose gold on this replica watch. However, after being molded, the watch is very expensive.

By the way, even the V2 has come out, but ZF is still selling the V1 edition of the 5712r, it is easy to tell whether the 5712 you have bought is V2 or V1, just check the position of the movement rotor, on V2, it is placed at 9 o’clock, just in the opposite direction of the crown.

The latest news in our market

In October, there are some new factories appeared in our market, the most popular one is the Gold Factory, which makes Daytona with improved weight, actually before Gold Factory, we have heard that VS opened a new branch named TED to make the 42mm YachtMaster with improved weight. We know genuine Rolex watches are made with solid platinum, yellow gold or rose gold, so these Rolex replicas, whether made by Clean or VS, always have a ligher weight than the genuines, so Gold Factory and TED tried their best to increase the weight of the replica Rolex watches to make them have a closer weight to genuine, Gold Factory now has made a lot of Daytona replicas in this type, they are very popular in the market, I think they will gain a great success in this field.

Now if you ask me which factory makes the best Daytona and which factory occupies the largest market share of replica Rolex, I will say it is Clean, their Rolex replicas are really being sold very well, especially the Daytona and GMT-Master II, they face no competitors or I could say Clean has beaten all competitors. However, a problem shows up, that is Clean won’t often improves the details of their watches like before, after all they have achieved such a great success, but as customers, we want the replicas to be perfect, so I think the appearance of these new Daytonas made by Gold Factory with improved weight will push Clean to upgrade their watches continuously, otherwise their market share will be slowly eroded by Gold Factory, because Gold really solve a big problem.

In one of my previous posts, I mentioned that GF has bee closed due to the raid, now this factory back to the business one week ago, they have a new name, which is called GO, they usually released watches once every five days.

The last news is about APS factory, they also start to add weight on their Daytona and AP 15400. APS factory started to make Daytona watches about two months ago, but this project has failed, nobody has bought their Daytona in the last two months, so they improved the weight, but I do not think they will get a good result, because Dandong 4130 movement has been tested and proven to be very stable and reliable, the Shanghai 4130 which APS Daytona uses still not recognized by us. However, at the same time APS factory also published the AP 15400 with improved weight, but I think they will succeed in AP. In the past, this replica AP 15400 with leather band is only 103 grams, after being added with weight, the entire replica watch is about 140 grams, you know the genuine watch is more than 150 grams, but less than 160 grams. How did APS factory add weight on this AP? They added tungsten steel in case and case back.

New Names in Our Market

Today, I want to show you some new names just appeared in our market, they are not new watches in this field, but some new factories names you may just heard of.

First, it is S+, this factory, maybe it is more suitable to call it somebody, just appeared in our market in the end of October, with the release of two Omega Seamaster replica watches, including the full black ceramic Seamaster I show below. As far as I know, S+ currently only makes two Seamaster models, why does it suddenly appear in the market? Because these two replicas of Seamaster made by VS factory have been out of stock for a long time, people who want good replicas, so they want to seize this chance, let’s see if they can succeed, How about this Seamster made by S+? Quality is ok, the movement decoration is nice, closer to genuine watch, but movement stability needs time to be tested. My advice is wait, do not push your trigger now.

S+ Factory Seamaster

Second, it is VVS. I knew this factory just several days ago because they released the full titanium replica of Seamaster 007 No Time To Die, then I made some searches online and found some replicas posted online are using the bezel or dial under VVS name, so I guess this is a factory that only made watch parts before, now they want to sell replica watches by themselves and just entered this field. How about the Seamaster 007 No Time To Die made by VVS? Its quality is ok, but I do not suggest you buy. We know the best replica of this watch was made by VS factory, and the latest version has come to V4, but the bracelet is still not titanium. VVS corrected it and uses titanium material on the case and bracelet, this is a big improvement, but its dial finish, case back engravings and movement are not as good as VS. I opened the case back, there are no decorations on the plate. The price of this replica from VVS is even sold at a higher price than VS. Not recommended.

Third, Gold Factory. Here we call it “狗厂” in China because there is a dog head icon on the strap. This is a new factory in our market. Perhaps you have seen the replica watches made by this factory on the internet, on your dealers’ wechat moment, they have posted pictures of the watches from Gold Factory. Currently Gold Factory only makes two types of Rolex replicas, Daytona and YachtMaster. What is the difference between their watches and the ones made by Clean and VS? The watches made by Gold Factory are much heavier, which have a closer weight to genuine watches, that’s the biggest difference. Look at the rose gold Daytona posted below, it has a weight of 145 grams, and the last picture shows you all Rolex watches Gold Factory is making. Why this Daytona is heavier than the same one made by Clean or BT? Because Gold Factory uses tungsten steel as case material. The movement is Dandong 4130.

Clean Pepsi GMT V2

Today, I will show you some pictures and a video about the latest V2 edition of the replica Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi just published by Clean factory.

In the past, I always thought that Clean produces the best quality ceramic bezels used in replica Rolex watches including Submariner and GMT-Master II, actually I was wrong. We must admit that the green ceramic bezel used by Clean 116610LV is the best and has the most accurate color, but about GMT-Master II replicas, perhaps there are some other factories making better ceramic bezels than Clean. For example, my friend told me that the GMT-Master II Pepsi made by GS factory has a more accurate blue and red color. So, that also proves my opinion, which is no replica watch is perfect, if a factory focuses on the finish of specific parts and want them look closest to genuine, then some other parts may not be the best.

On the V2 edition of this Pepsi GMT with jubilee bracelet, the bezel was upgraded, we can see the last one picture and video, the left watch is V1, the right one is V2. We can see the bezel color changes under UV flashlight. I am not sure if this new bezel is made by Clean. The blue and red color on the V2 become dark, not that bright on the V1, a lot of people like the color change on the bezel, but some said it looks slightly purplish, they still prefer the color on the V1, what is your opinion?

The Pepsi GMT with Oyster bracelet now also upgraded to V2. The other GMT-Master II models from Clean do not have changes.
