RC Factory Aquanaut

Leave a reply

Just saw a news coming from the market that RC Factory will make the replica Patek Philippe Aquanaut watches with increased weight, is that true? Some people said this is a false news. However, I got these pictures, some dealers got the watch already and I share their reviews on this golden Aquanaut watch.

For the Patek Philippe Aquanaut replica watches, they are very hot, BP is the earliest watch maker that produces them, then ZF and 3K, now a lof of new names appeared in this field, like BBF and DDF we know, and some unpopular names such as APW. Among them, 3K has already made the biggest amount of money just by selling Nautilus replicas and Aquanaut replicas, but their Aquanaut and Nautilus are not the first choices. More people are buying from BBF or DDF. Among these watch makers, only APW and DDF make the replica Aquanaut with increased weight, and absolutely I recommend the one from DDF. For the best Nautilus replica, I also recommend DDF and VF.

Nowadays, the replica watches with increased weight are very popular, but that does not mean the ones from each factory are worth buying, not every replica watch with close weight to genuine can be called super clone, sometimes I prefer the one with regular weight if it has much better finish and dial details, for example, Clean did not produce increased weight Rolex replica watches before, but their Rolexs used to be the best.

This Aquanaut, if it is really made by RC, please do not buy.

First, the chocolate dial has color difference, actually on the rose gold Day-Date model with chocolate dial from RC, the dial color difference also exists.

Second, the movement is a super clone 324, but its engravings on the plates are not deep, not that deep on the movement plates of BBF Aquanaut. Now factories BBF and DDF have deep engravings on the movement plate, 3K does not have.

Third, the rose gold tone on the case does not look as good as that on their Rolex Day-Date.

So, although the watch has a good weight of about 131 grams, but the finishes do not meet the standards of a super clone watch.

VS Factory Day-Date

VS Factory just published the Day-Date replica watch, and currently only this blue one is available, but my impression about this watch is it is too expensive.

In the market, if you decide to make the Day-Date replicas, you are facing several strong competitors, including GM, QF, THB, CBD and RC, as I mentioned before, the Day-Date from THB and CBD are not good, if do not consider them, you still need to think about how to beat the other threes, this is very hard, as far as I know, the Day-Date from GM, QF and RC has been accepted by most people, especially after the review on RC Day-Date at https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/07/28/rc-day-date-part-ii/, I highly recommend the Day-Date made by RC.

Now how about this Day-Date from VS Factory? First, its quality is good. Especially its bezel, which seems to have inherited the same improvement VS Factory just made on the bezel of their Datejust, the bezel reflection looks brighter, some people said VS coated real Platinum on the bezel, some said they just coated Rhodium, whatever, the bezel is more gen-like now. Second, this Day-Date from VS uses a real super clone 3255 movement, which is developed by DD movement factory. While the movement in the Day-Date made by other factories is SH3255, which is considered to be not a real super clone 3255 by a lot of watch fans, they think the SH3255 in both QF Day-Date and RC Day-Date is just modified on basis of the 3135. However, the SH3255 is also very stable and reliable, it is hidden behind a solid case back, I think it does not matter whether you choose a DD3255 or a SH3255.

This Day-Date from VS Factory has a weight of 146 grams, which is even lighter than the Day-Date from GM, not to mention compared with the Day-Date from RC. And the price of this VS Day-Date is only about 60 USD cheaper than the RC Day-Date, will you choose the Day-Date from VS? If I were you, I won’t, at least for now it is not the right time. Genuine Rolex Day-Date is made with precious metals like platinum or gold, so it is very heavy, the Day-Date made by RC Factory is 208 grams, which is very close to genuine weight, while this VS Day-Date is nearly 70 grams lighter than the genuine, this is a big difference in weight. So, to buy a quality Day-Date, I still suggest you buy from GM, QF or RC.

Will VS Factory make the Day-Date with gain weight? I think there is a strong possibility, after all their Day-Date has movement advantage when being compared with other manufacturers, this is a great chance for VS to penetrate the market. Currently I think people will still choose the Day-Date with heavier weight, after all their attention has been focused on the gain weight area for years, it won’t easily shift, the weight of a Rolex replica watch is now a more significant factor for people than in the past.

In my last post about the Day-Date from RC factory, I have already made a brief review on their Day-Date watches, please read it at https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/06/30/rc-day-date/, RC is a new maker in the increased weight Rolex Day-Date field, too many factories are making this type of Rolex replicas, every factory is saying their watches are very good, but a lot of customers have been scammed, today, let me talk more about the Day-Date from RC. In future, I will keep an eye on their watches and share my final thoughts here.

Before my today’s work, I want to say something, that is some factories are cheating customers with exaggerated or false claims. Take the Day-Date from CBD factory as an example. In their advertising, I remember they said their Day-Date will not have the issue of case peeling off, but after checking the finish of the bracelet, you will see they are lying. Please check the first picture below, these links were taken off from a Day-Date made by CBD. It is a golden watch, but each link is not fully gold plated, besides, there are two layers of each link, you can see obvious gap, the inner material is probably tungsten steel and the outer is wrapped with stainless steel, the two types of materials can not fuse into a single piece, so cracks form between them. So, when CBD said their Day-Date would not have the peeling off issue, it is a lie.

The bracelet links on CBD Day-Date, not good, and the bracelet is too thick

Next, let us see the Day-Date from RC Factory, in my opinion, currently their Day-Date looks better than the one made by THB and CBD, which both have the peeling off issue. Their prices are too expensive, so not worth purchasing. Currently the Day-Date from RC looks good and worth a try. Besides, the increased weight Day-Date from GM and QF is also worth buying and is the most cost efficient.

RC Day-Date Weight

The weight of the whole watch is about 208.3 grams, this is a golden Day-Date, the gold tone looks nice, not shiny and looks very close to the golden color on genuine Rolex.

The case is not thick, it is about 12.3mm to 12.6mm. I thought it will be much thicker, but after measuring the actual watch, the case has not been thickened.

Case Weight

The case of the watch is about 102 grams, it is 101.8 grams.

The movement inside is a SH3255, after opening the case back and I weigh the case, it comes to 102.1 grams.

Case Back Weight

The case back is 27.7 grams, it has been added with extra weight on basis of a common case back.

Bracelet Weight

The bracelet has a weight of 106.1 grams.

Clasp Weight

The weight of the clasp.

Each link has a weight of 3.2 grams.

Link

Each link is fully plated with gold, no stainless steel part you can see, no cracking gap on the link, this is much better than that on CBD Day-Date. So, what are the materials used by them to make the bracelet? They are integraded very well.

This is my second review on the RC Day-Date, I think it is a good watch, however, we still need more time to see if their watch will have the issue of peeling off, I will follow up on this and share my third review.

RC is a new watch maker in the market, currently manufactures good quality replicas of Rolex Day-Date with increased weight.

A lot of factories are making increased weight version of Rolex Day-Date in the market, everyone may have their own opinions when buying such a Day-Date and every factory claims that theirs have no case peel off issue. But as customers, you need to be careful when choosing such a watch because some really have case peeling off problem, some factories are selling such Day-Date watches at too high prices by just adding extra links on the bracelet to increase the weight but their watches still have the issue of case peeling off, I do not want to talk the factory name again, I mentioned it in my article here before. So, be sure to ask for honest opinions from your dealers before making the purchase.

As a new watch maker, how about the quality of the Day-Date from RC? It is good, but will the watch have the issue of case peeling off? I do not know, because their watches just came out, still need time to test.

Not like the latest V5 edition from QF and THB, RC does not add extra links on the bracelet to increase the weight. Also not like CBD, RC does not add height of each link of the bracelet to increase the weight. So, how did they do to increase the weight of the watch? As far as I know, the case back is added with extra weight, which is now up to 28.7 grams, and like GM and QF have done, RC also added the weight on the movement retaining ring, I opened the case back to check, the retaining ring looks much wider. However, doing these two jobs is not enough to increase the weight of the watch to be 209 grams, which is the same as the gen. So, what is their secret?

Like the watches from other factories, the Day-Date from RC also has advantages and shortcomings. Its gold tone looks nice, has a better gold color than the golden Day-Date from other makers. RC claims that you can do gold wrapping on the watch repeatedly, well, this needs to test. On their Day-Date, I also found some shortcomings, for example, on the edge of the hands, you can see burrs, well, this needs to be observed with a magnifier. The edge of the sapphire crystal is not finished as good as that on Clean Rolex. The Week font in the window at 12 o’clock is slightly thinner than that of the genuine. The shape of the Rolex crown emblem base is slightly different from that of the genuine. Well, I do like the sunburst finish on the dial, it looks beautiful.
