Movements

In the past five years, whether in material, finish or movement, the replica watch industry has made a big huge progress, do you agree?

Today, I will give a brief introduction of the movements used in the super clones. These movements were different from the ones used in the replicas made eight or ten years ago. Now, people are knowledgable in this field, they know every factory, their background and their famous watches models, they also know which movement is more trusted. The movements in the market are usually made by the movement factories in three places of China, which are Dandong, Shanghai and Hangzhou.

First, the movements from Dandong. Too many, there are 4130, 4131, 3235, etc. Many people know this movement factory because of the 4130 movement firstly used by Noob Factory. Now, the 4130 is being used by a lot of factories, including Clean, VS, BT, New Noob. Dandong 4131 is being used by VS and Clean. The Dandong 3235 is only used by VS Factory. Dandong 4130 is the most successful movement developed in replica watches industry, it is also the most stable chrono movement. It seems like every movement from Dandong is very stable, except the 925 and 938.

The two pictures below show the Dandong 3235 movement, also called VS 3235 or Custom VS 3235, it is only used by VS Factory, you can find this movement in their Datejust, 41mm Submariner, Oyster Perpetual, YachtMaster, Sea-Dweller. This is the best clone 3235 movement in the market, known for its high stability and long power reserve that is up to 72 hours.

One movement from Dandong should be avoided, that is the 938, which is equipped by the Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Q1372520. This replica is mainly made by two factories, AZ and ZF. Do not buy this watch, this movement will easily have issues during use. Almost every replica of this watch sold by the two factories will have movement issues.

938 movement, developed by APS, we should not buy the replica with this movement.

Another movement from Dandong is also not too stable, it is the 925, which is equipped by Jaeger LeCoultre moon phase. This replica is made by APS and ZF, a very popular watch, but its movement is even not as stable as Dandong 7750.

SL6000 movement from Dandong. Equipped in the replicas of IWC Portuguese 7 Days PR and Big Pilot, currently used by AZ and ZF. This movement is nice and has a power reserve of more than 50 hours. The Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve from ZF is also the replica I highly recommend, very classic.

8500 and 8900 from VS Factory, also developed by Dandong. The replicas of Omega Seamaster 150m and Seamaster 600m from VS are using these two movements, which make VS Factory famous all over the world.

P.9000. Only used on Panerai by VS Factory. 8500 and P.9000 these two movements are the cornerstone of development of VS Factory.

Next, let’s talk about the movements from Shanghai. First, it is the SH3135. There are two generations, the first generation has been abandoned, now all watches are using the second generation of SH3135. This movement has the same high stability as that of Dandong 3135.

SH3235. Except VS, other factories are all using this movement, for example, Clean uses this movement in their Datejust, 41mm Submariner and Sea-Dweller. This movement’s stability is ok, but the power reserve is around 45 hours. If you want a Submariner from Clean Factory, I do not suggest you buy the 41mm model, the 40mm Submariner with Dandong 3135 movement is a better choice, it is more cost-efficient.

Shanghai 7750. This is not a very good movement, but it is being widely used in the replica watches. In the past, Z Factory random used Shanghai 7750 and Dandong 7750 in their IWC Portuguese Chrono replica watches, people who got the watch with Shanghai 7750 was unlucky because this movement is not stable.

In the last, it will be a movement from Hangzhou. The movement is 72a0, which is being used in the Datejust and YachtMaster of EWE Factory. EWE modified its look to Rolex 3235. This movement is great, its power reserve is up to 60 hours. The Blancpain 50 fathoms from Z Factory also uses this Hangzhou movement.

APS Factory Replica Jaeger LeCoultre Ultra Thin Moon Phase

Highly recommended! APS factory just published five replica watches of Jaeger LeCoultre Ultra Thin Moon Phase, including stainless steel and rose gold, the dial has white, black and blue color options. Please check the pictures below. The stainless steel model with white dial is the most classic one, which has a very similar weight to genuine watch. While the replica in rose gold has a lighter weight than the genuine, because the rose gold on the replica is plated not solid gold, and the rose gold color will slightly fade after a long time of wearing.

About Jaeger LeCoultre Ultra Thin Moon Phase, it is a very popular watch, there are also several factories here manufacturing its replicas, including ZF, GF and AZ, now GF is closed. The following five replica watches are the replicas of the new Ultra Thin Moon Phase models which Jaeger LeCoultre published in 2021, now only APS factory makes them. The new Jager LeCoultre Ultra Thin Moon Phase has the same size as the old model that was published in 2011, but there are some differences on the dial you can clearly see, here we do not discuss the differences between the new model and the old model, I will mention several differences between the replica and the genuine.

First, the case thickness of the replica is up to 9.8mm, while the genuine watch is only 9.3mm, the replica has been made to have a very close thickness to genuine, but I think a 0.5mm is a big difference for such an ultra thin watch. The moon phase runs one circle per month like the genuine watch, but the moon phase indicator does not look that three-dimensional like the genuine. Third, it is about the movement, APS factory uses a super clone dandong 925 movement, but the brand name “JAEGER-LECOULTRE” and other information on the movement plate seem not to be engraved, they look like being printed because the lettering looks shallow. This is a big mistake especially for the watches with crystal back. Genuine watch uses high quality alligator leather band, the band of the replica is made of calfskin leather, but you can ask your dealer to change a real alligator leather band on, only need to pay some extra money.

Through sapphire crystal, you can clearly see the movement. The gasket behind the case back enhances water resistance of the replica, the screws that fix the case back could be interchanged with those of genuine watch.
