IWC – Susan Reviews on Replica Watches

V7 Factory Replica IWC Mark XX Patrouille Suisse Titanium Watch

This is the latest watch from V7 Factory. At the same time, M+ Factory also has produced this IWC replica watch, which factory makes the best one? I think M+, actually I got this watch from M+ and V7 and compared them, I forgot to take photos of the one from M+, but it is true that M+ has a better quality, I will do a comparison review between them in future.

The pictures below are the one made by V7 Factory, which offers clone ETA 2892 and SW300 movement options, I think this is the only advantage of V7 upon M+ on this watch because they have a Swiss movement option, if V7 does not want to improve this watch in future, I suggest you buy from M+ Factory.

The watch is made with Titanium, with a 40mm case diameter and about 11mm in thickness. V7 does not offer extra black or white rubber band for this watch, they only offer one warranty card for the watch. In the following, I will list some places of the watch which M+ Factory does better if compared with V7.

1.The satin finish on the case and bezel is more refined on M+, while on V7, the bezel finish color is slightly different from that of the case.

2.The crown on V7 is much bigger than the genuine, while on M+, the crown size is correct.

3.Both V7 and M+ have a green lume on the dial, but M+ dial lume is brighter.

4.The tip of the central second hand is slight arched, while on M+, it is flat, which is the same as genuine.

5.If you do not choose SW300 version, the Miyota 9015 version offered by M+ should be the best one.

6.M+ Factory offers one pair of black or white rubber band for this watch.

7.The buckle on M+ is better.

V7 Factory Replica IWC Mark XVIII with Genuine Swiss SW300 Movement

The Mark series of IWC has been popular for many years in our market, I still remembered that more than 10 years ago there was a factory named MK that made a replica IWC Mark series watch, which made this factory very famous at that time, I do not know if MK is also the MKS we are talking about today. For good quality replicas of IWC Mark series watches, I suggest you buy from two watch makers, one is MKS, the other is V7. I have gotten the same Mark XVIII replica watch from MKS and V7 before, and found V7 has a better finish on the edge of the case, and because V7 offers Swiss SW300 movement option, the date adjustment on the Mark XVIII is the same as that of genuine watch. Check the last picture in this article, the movement number SW300 can be clearly seen. By the way, its price is also a bit higher than the one with regular Sea-gull 2892 movement. I do not know why Z Factory did not make any replicas of the IWC Mark series watches, perhaps they know they can not compete with V7, or even MKS, just like no factories want to make automatic Panerai replicas.

Besides the IWC Mark series watches, the Ingenieur and Portofino can also be equipped with SW300 movement by V7, their most popular replica watch is this IWC Mark XVIII that made them famous in this market, and the Ingenieur replicas they published several months ago also help them win a lot of watch fans.

I found many buyers still prefer the common one with Sea-gull 2892 movement, they do not choose this one with Swiss movement, perhaps because it has a higher price, but I think the biggest reason is that they do not believe that a replica can use a genuine Swiss movement. Yes, some people might have been scammed before when they were purchasing a replica with Swiss movement, but found it is not with Swiss movement after receiving, so after that, they became very cautious. On the internet, there are indeed several websites that claim that their watches are using Swiss movements, you should be careful. In our market, many watches can be installed with Swiss movements, most of them are from IWC, Tag Heuer and Breitling.

Replica IWC Mark XVIII with Black Leather Strap

APS Factory Replica IWC Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve IW501702

I never thought that APS factory will publish this replica IWC watch ahead of Z factory, because Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve is one of the most popular replicas watches from Z factory, many watch fans who want a super clone of dress watch from IWC will think of this watch by ZF, especially the IW500705, which was one of the best sellers in replica watch field in the past. Actually you may not know one thing, the movement in the IW500705 replica IWC is developed by APS factory, not ZF, but this replica watch was brought to be a big boom by ZF. Now the new Portuguese from APS factory has several models, I will take this IW501702 as an example, to see how good it is.

It is a good replica, but not too good, there are some obvious flaws, I think Z factory will solve these shortcomings next, or they won’t make these new Portuguese watches, who knows, after all Z factory and APS factory have a too good brothership.

First, the movement inside the replica is not a super clone IWC movement, it is developed on the basis of a specific Dandong movement, but there are extra plates added on the top, and the jewels on the movement plates have slight color difference with that on genuine movement, by the way, if you wind the watch, check the movement through the sapphire crystal back, some gears not working. These things are ok for most buyers, but APS factory made another mistake, genuine movement is 52011, APS did not change, still engraved 52010 on the plate.

Another flaw on the replica is its dial color, which looks slightly yellowish, the genuine watch is pure white, the color difference is subtle, but I can notice it if check carefully. I certainly believe that Z factory will improve this detail if they are going to make the replica.

The specification of the replica:

Movement: Based on a Dandong movement, added with extra plates and decorated to make it look like IWC 52011, but the movement plate is engraved with 52010.

Case: 316F stainless steel, 42mmx13.2mm, slightly thinner than the old Portuguese model

Crystal: Sapphire, a bit domed on the edge

Dial: Tiny color difference, with a working power reserve indicator, small seconds at 9 o’clock

Bracelet: Blue alligator leather strap, better genuine alligator leather band can be ordered

About ZF

I have introduced the stories and development of some watch factories on my blog, including APS, Clean and 3K, a lot of people read these stories and thought they are interesting.

Clean factory: https://www.susanreviews.com/2024/02/17/the-development-of-clean-factory/
3K factory: https://www.susanreviews.com/2024/02/10/about-3k-factory/
APS factory: https://www.susanreviews.com/2024/01/26/secrets-about-aps-factory/

Today, I will give an introduction of ZF. I have talked some things about ZF in another recent post, it is the relationship between APS and ZF, please read it here, https://www.susanreviews.com/2023/12/23/the-bromance-between-aps-and-zf/. Actually I know more things about Clean, Noob, AR and other factories than ZF, there are not many stories about ZF, in the past, I always thought that ZF is a big factory because they have published replicas involving many brands, but I was wrong, ZF is not big, they are not even a watch manufacturer, they just got replica watches from other factories and put “ZF” sticker on, and then sell to their clients, so I finally understand why the watches from ZF have higher prices than other factories.

Not like the other three factories we talked before, ZF is not a watch manufacturer, however, some watches from ZF are still worth buying.

First, the IWC Big Pilot, ZF bought the watches from AZ and changed with a better dial, price is a little higher than AZ Big Pilot. Worth buying.

Second, the IWC Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve, this watch from ZF is equipped with a custom-made 52010 movement, which was developed by APS and is the first generation of custom-made movements in this industry, that movement has about 3-day power reserve. ZF also changed with a better dial on the Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve, and this watch made ZF well-known all over the world. It is worth buying.

Third, Tudor replica watches from ZF all have a great quality, they are worth buying.

Fourth, about AP Royal Oak 15400 and 15500, I always recommend ZF, but now my thought changed, you can directly buy from APS factory, because ZF also got these two models from APS, but sell them at a higher price.

Sixth, it is Patek Nautilus 5711, ZF makes the best replica in the past before 3K factory developed the super clone 324 movement. Now, besides the blue/grey dial version, the replicas of other Nautilus 5711 models, I suggest you buy from 3K.

Seventh, replica Patek Nautilus 5712, only ZF makes it and this watch is really good and the movement is very stable. Worth buying.

Eighth, the last two watches are Franck Muller V45 and Breguet Tradition, these two watches have a very high quality and are worth buying.

V7 Factory Mark XX Green

When talking about Pilot’s watch, the Mark series from IWC must be on the list, they have a classic design, the Big Pilot from IWC also meets people’s need for large Pilot’s watch, I remembered my first automatic watch, it is a Seiko, yes, a genuine watch, its has a very similar design to the old IWC Mark series watch, I bought this watch because I was deeply in love with IWC Pilot’s watch at that time. When I just entered this field, the first replica watch which I think as a super clone is a Mark XVI made by MK factory, it has been a very long time now. Now the popularity of IWC Mark series replicas has declined, and V7 is the best source to get replicas of IWC Mark series watches, first, they have a full collection, second, V7 is the first watch manufacturer to make the replica when there is a new Mark series model published by IWC. MK now has changed its name to MKS, they still make good quality replicas of IWC Mark series watches, but MKS does not update their catalog as quick as V7 does. What about ZF? Absolutely they have the strength to manufacture super clone IWC Mark series watches, they should try and offer us a genuine movement option, why put so much money in producing the Submariner? Now ZF still trying to sell their Submariner, and nobody purchases.

V7 published three Mark XX watches, each differentiates in dial color, there are dial color options of green, black and blue. The black and blue ones always look classic like the old IWC Mark series watch, while I like this green Mark XX more, it looks more fresh and modern.

The case of the new Mark XX still has a 40mm diameter like Mark 18, but its case thickness is reduced because the soft iron cover is taken off, now the case has a 10.83mm thickness. The case has a brushing finish, its streamlined edge has a smooth polishing finish, which is like the finish of the bezel. The height of the bezel and its slope are exactly the same as that of genuine watch. There is a plastic on the case back protecting being scratched, you can also see a sticker with factory name V7 on the case back. By the way, the airplane sculpture on the center looks nice, you will like it just at a first glance, but you may not decide to buy the replica after comparing this logo with that of genuine. Just like the S. L. C. logo on some replica Panerai watches, there are always differences.

The green dial looks beautiful and has a very high level of completion, both hour markers and hands have enhanced luminescence that looks very strong, not sure if it will last as long as that of genuine. However, not like before, now you can not easily find flaws on the dial of these super clone watches, every watch factory is trying to make the closest dial, but sometimes they ignored the finish of the sculpture on the case back, I have seen the sculpture engravings on a lot of replica watches, they have a good finish but can not be called to be first class, I think all watch factories should pay attention to this.

The replica Mark XX has two movement options. One is real Swiss SW300, price is higher. The other is a Sea-gull movement, which has a very close outlook and same function as Swiss ETA 2892, we usually call it Asian 2892, the movement picture below shows an Asian 2892 movement. Asian 2892 movement is also very stable, but SW300 is more accurate, but the replica with SW300 is much more expensive.

Z Factory Replica IWC Portuguese Chrono IW3716 Green Dial with Steel Bracelet

Most watch factories will stop accept orders after today, the shipping service will not be available before the end of our new year holiday, watch factories and shipping company probably will come back on Feb. 6th, there is nearly one-month holiday for them. Hope you guys have a healthy life in 2023, and Happy Chinese New Year.

Today, I want so introduce a new IWC Portuguese chrono replica watch which Z factory just published three days ago, it is a Portuguese chrono watch with stainless steel bracelet, ZF did not make the Portuguese Chrono replica watches with stainless steel bracelet before, this time they published two, one is with green dial, the other has a white dial.

Portuguese Chrono is one of the flagship models of ZF, the other one I think is Portuguese 7 Days, both made Z factory famous all over the world. The Portuguese from ZF, all of them come with leather straps, look very elegant, when I just entered this field, these Portuguese replica watches from ZF were sold very well, but now it seems like few people buy them, certainly a lot of Chinese men like such type of elegant watches, and it is certainly necessary in your watch collection.

The watch is fully made with solid 316L stainless steel, it has a case diameter of 41mm, very big, and the case is only about 14mm thick, that’s a case thickness most people can accept even the replica watch is equipped with an Asia 7750 chronograph movement. The case features a round smooth bezel that is polished, which is in line with the polishing finish on the lugs. Check the case, there is horizontal brushing on both sides, it is completed delicately and form a high contrast with the polished case line above. The bracelet is also made with solid stainless steel and is seamlessly integrated to the case.

The case back is a see-through crystal to show the movement inside, which is a chronograph movement, not only provides a full chronograph function, but also has a very close outlook to IWC 69355 Calibre. A lot of people bought such IWC Portuguese Chrono replica watches from Z factory, but there are few or no movement issues, few people complained the quality, there are all compliments about ZF Portuguese.

There is one thing you need to consider when wearing this watch, be sure to open and close the clasp gently, use the push button on the clasp first, do not pull the buckle with a great strength to open it, or it may broken. It seems like the clasp on ZF VC Overseas has this issue.

V7 Factory Replica IWC Mark 18 Titanium Watch with 2892 Movement

Not too many new replica watches were published in our market after the raid, especially in IWC. As the biggest watch manufacturer who makes the best IWC replicas, ZF did not bring new IWC watches in this year. Today, I went to our watch market and found many watch stores were closed, there are not too many people buying watches there, a lot of stalls waiting for rent, so we see that the COVID-19 has caused a big influence in this industry, so did the raid. Today, I want to talk about an IWC replica watch from V7 factory, which is not too famous here, this watch is also not a new IWC, in 2019, a factory named M+F already made it, and so did MK factory. The entire watch is full of military style, I love this style very much before, but now I like a watch with clean and fresh style more.

IWC Pilot must be one of the most attractive military watches, especially its sub-series Mark, which has come to Mark XVIII edition. About IWC Mark series, its dial elements, unique engravings on case back and strap design, all of these make you want to consider it when you need to buy a military-style watch.

The watch is full of vintage flavor, its Titanium case looks not as bright as stainless steel, the Titanium case and case back are satin-finished, so is the clasp, on its black dial, the luminous material applied on hour markers and hands is not white, it looks a little yellowish, which is completely in line with the darken Titanium tone on its case. The band is made with brown leather, it is the last piece to make such a low-key but perfect replica watch.

It is a very simple watch, so there are no difficulities when making a perfect replica of of this watch, the dial details you can see from these pictures are already good enough, when you show this watch in front of your friends, they are not able to tell it is a fake, even a watch expert will say it is a genuine watch. By the way, V7 factory offers two movement options for this replica watch, one is a clone 2892, the other is a real Swiss ETA 2892.

ZF published new Portuguese watches

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.

V6 Factory Replica IWC Aquatimer 2000 Black Dial with Miyota 9015 Movement

Aquatimer is one of my most favorite diving watches, actually it is also very popular among people who like diver’s watches. The round case is big but built to be very strong to withstand the high pressure under water. Not only Aquatimer has a big and robust case, it also has a perfect dial design that is highly readable. Every time when I visited IWC boutique, I wanted to buy one Aquatimer watch, but finally decided not to buy, because I can not hold it, my wrist is thin and the watch is too big for me. However, I already bought one Portuguese chrono watch, it is my most favorite IWC watch.

This Aquatimer 2000 replica I am going to introduce is from V6 factory, it is not a new model, V6 produced it several years ago, but I just found there is such a beautiful watch, maybe I paid too much attention to other models like Noob Daytona, Submariner and PAMs, and did not notice this tough guy, in fact, it deserves our attention.

First, made by V6 factory, its quality is not bad, in fact, much superior to most replica watches in the market. The case is in round shape and has a diameter of 44mm, case thickness is up to 15mm, not too thick, because for most Panerai Submersible watches, the case is thicker than 15mm. Each crown on the side of the case has different purpose, the right crown is for time and date adjusting, about the crown on the left, it is a helium valve button on genuine watch, while it has no function on the replica. The design of the case makes the dial look big also, I have seen many diver’s watches, they have big and strong case design, while their dial is too crowded.

Black dial has a multi-layer structure, on the beveled inner bezel, there are diving scales from 0 to 15 minutes that are lumed in green. Hour hand and hour markers are applied with white luminous material, they will emit blue light in dark condition, while the minute hand has green lume coating like 0-15min diving scales. High readability and clean dial design are two big things I like on this watch.

Behind solid case back, it is an automatic movement inside, which is Miyota 9015. Many watch factories now use this movement in their replica watches, but it has one disadvantage, that is the movement has a louder rotor than other Asia automatic movement. However, this does not affect the movement stability, and Miyota 9015 movement is also very accurate and usually has no issues. By the way, V6 factory has a modification on the autor rotor to make it look closer to genuine IWC calibre.

V6 factory new Aquatimer bronze watch

Another new model from V6 factory, in recent weeks, there were a lot of new models published in our market. These new products cover Rolex, IWC, Panerai, Audemars Piguet, etc., and in the next days, AR factory will release upgraded vintage 16610 black and green Submariner, the new vintage Submariner will be made with 904L stainless steel, a very exciting news. The watch I am going to introduce is an IWC Aquatimer replica watch, which was unveiled by V6 factory several days ago, the watch is a Charles Darwin special edition, it is made with solid bronze material, as far as I know, til today, more than three pieces of IWC replica watches were produced with bronze material in our market. Maybe it is a good idea to open a new topic, to introduce the best-selling bronze watches.

The case is big, round case is measured to be 44mm in diameter, not including the size of the crown and chronograph buttons, it is in 17mm thick, too thick for some people, they do not like. But for others, they may like such strong design of this watch. Bronze case brings vitality to this watch, so does the black rubber band. The bronze case looks old and dirty, actually it is normal, the brushed case on all bronze watches looks like this, you can check Panerai PAM 382. Case back is solid and engraved with “Expedition Charles Darwin” graphic, in silver stainless steel, not bronze.

Black dial has a high readability even under dark conditions because hour markers and hands are applied with luminous material, whose lume light is strong and long lasting. The black dial is also highly contrast with the case in bronze color. Two small dials are delicately made, with fine circles, each subdial has genuine function like real watch, about the dial, maybe not every one is perfect without flaws, please be careful when checking the hour markers, be sure that the hour markers and the markers on outer bezel are aligned perfectly. You need to tell your watch dealer about this, so when they pick up the watch, they will notice this. A replica can not be made to be perfect, there must be some flaws you can not notice when you choosing watches for your customers.

Behind the solid case back, it is an Asia Valjoux 7750 movement, which has decorated auto rotor with brand’s engravings. For my customers, they bought replica watches with such Asia 7750 chronograph movement and never had problems, the movement seems to have less issues than thos A2824 or A2836.

Here is specification of the watch:

Movement: Asia Valjoux 7750 Working Chronograph
Case: 44mm*17mm, Solid Bronze
Crystal: Sapphire
Dial: Black with Superlumed Stick Hour Markers
Bracelet: Black Rubber with Tang Buckle
Water Resistant: 30m
