Gold Factory – Susan Reviews on Replica Watches

Gold Factory Replica Rolex GMT-Master II with Increased Weight

Do I really recommend these GMT-Master replica Rolex watches from Gold Factory? No, I don’t. Just go for the ones with normal weight from Clean.

Gold is a very young watch maker, I think they have been in this business for no more two years, they started producing YachtMaster replicas with increased weight in last year, many dealers promoted their products in the beginning, then they got silent, until Gold publiahed these GMT-Master II, then they came to the public again. There are totally five different GMT-Master watches, 126710BLRO, 126719BLRO, 126718GRNR, 126715CHNR, and the last one is a GMT Rolex with meteorite, which is very popular in this year. These five replica watches indeed have a heavier weight after been ‘improved’ by Gold Factory, take the Pepsi GMT with black dial for example, its weight is up to 195.6grams, you know this watch from Clean is only about 147grams, so, almost 50 grams heavier. However, did Gold factory really use better materials to increase the weight of those replicas? I do not think so, the Platinum or real 18K rose gold or yellow gold in the case and bracelet? Impossible. Gold Factory also claimed that the gold GMT Rolex will never fade, who knows, after making money from you, they won’t service your watch after one year, or even a shorter period like two or three months.

I have checked these GMT Rolex replicas from Gold Factory, the bracelet on each watch has been added with more links, which about two on each end. Like QF has done on their Le Mans Daytona, QF added two links on their Le Mans Daytona to lengthen the bracelet to increase the weight, check the pictures below, two links are about 6.34 grams, and the QF Le Mans Daytona is increased to 176grams. However, what surprised me more was Gold Factory uses more links to increase the weight, I think the bracelet is long enough for men with 21 wrist size. This is not good. The weight of the case back is greatly increased, so is the case.

The advantages of these V2 GMT Master II Rolex from Gold Factory:

1.Like Clean GMT that uses V3 ceramic bezel
2.Much better finish on the case and back than that on previous increased weight versions
3.Deeper and more clear engravings on the lugs back
4.The weight of the entire watch is ever closest to that of genuine watch.

Shortcomings:

1.Too expensive
2.Bracelet is too long, not convenient for men with small or even normal wrist size.
3.Golden models have color difference.

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.

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.

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.
