The conclusion of 2024
Hello everyone, I am Vvsli, who is keen on popularizing watch knowledge, comparing true and false, disassembling and evaluating, and being your navigator on the road of playing with watches, helping you not to get lost in playing with watches. This year, let's make a summary of replica watches.
The news about the factory is: First, VS resurrection of residual blood, right! The delivery speed is slower than before, and the others have basically recovered; second, the old brand AR and its JF withdrew from the replica watch market factory; third, the old brand OM is on the verge of bankruptcy; that is, it has stopped production now, most of the watch models, although there are already few people buying them.
Last year's new products were mainly concentrated in VS, Clean, APS, and 3K. We will not talk about them in chronological order, but in the order of the factories. We will not talk about some unattractive products in this issue. They are not of great significance. There may be some missed models, which will be left for you to supplement! It is difficult to avoid omissions.
First of all, the Submariner series, last year, the movement of this 40mm Submariner must have been replaced with the better polished Dandong 3135 movement. Now, both the movement and appearance have no shortcomings, and it has become one of the best choices. By the way, this green Submariner is really top-notch; it is also the non-black and white watch with the smallest color difference from the original. Then the indirect Submariner; due to its three-stage head grain and the complicated process of side breading; so it also experienced a series of twists and turns from suspension to resumption of production; mainly the three-stage head grain at the back; it consists of three parts; this VS has not been made; so at present, the best choice for the Jianjin Submariner is CLean; so the 41-size, gold-blue and black Submariner were also born.
The first models released in the Daytona series were the Panda, black pottery, black and white steel, which were released last year; some minor bugs that were dispensable were fixed one after another last year, and then he released one after another, Gray Rubber Daytona, Shawn Yue, Little Monster, Mother-of-Pearl Daytona, Platinum Panda Daytona, Gold Panda Daytona, Green Gold Daytona, Black Face Diamond Daytona, Rainbow Daytona; and so on, etc.; I won’t mention them one by one, anyway, they are all done at one time, and the color difference of his watches is very small; of course, if you want no color difference at all, that’s definitely impossible, right! You think too much; anyway, if you want Dayton, you can just go to CLean.
After all, it took off directly after getting the Dandong 4130 movement last year. Then the 3235 log series was added, with a new color mint green; equipped with the new Shanghai 3235 movement, and then in December, BM, diamond nail log, right! There are only a few sides; there is no need to evaluate it separately, it is nothing more than changing the scale to this diamond nail, right! There is nothing to say, the Yacht-Master series has been released, the rose gold yacht, and the 904 steel gray yacht with gray and blue letters; it is also the new Shanghai 3235 movement; the Greenwich series followed last year's Coke Inter Milan black circle, and last year released the Sarsaparilla hairy crab, but the current Greenwich series of clean is still 3186 and Rolex's new version of 3285 movement, the debugging direction is opposite, it is expected that the 3285 movement will be released after the Spring Festival, look forward to it. In summary! Rolex prefers the CLean3235 movement for this watch. If you have a special liking for the 70-hour hands-on watch, you can look at the related products of VS. Its details are actually comparable to CLean, but its movement is still quite awesome.
Then this 40mm Submariner! And Greenwich, you can actually look at C+; right! Then there are definitely no other ones, so you can only look for ew or KRF as a second choice. Then VS was actually quite miserable after being hit hard last year. In the second half of last year, it slowly began to recover, but the product layout was greatly changed. A lot of old Omega and Panerai models were discontinued. At the same time, new Omega and Panerai models were also introduced, including the new Constellation blue; black and white and the Seamaster 6 km series, right! This titanium Sea King and this steel Sea King; are both very heavy; the new models are equipped with, for example, 441, and even slightly updated. Although the power reserve on the back of the movement is not a real function, it is not! But at least this time it was changed to rotate with the winding, which is better than not changing it; and then it was updated one after another.
Papapapapa, so many combinations can be summarized as relying on the advantages of the two major movements of P9000 and 8900, plus VS's conscientious workmanship and materials! The replica watch of these two brands is still unique, right! You have no choice, VS's competitiveness in the Rolex field is a little insufficient, because this brand is really too popular. With his update, several date and yacht color matching, and then he also updated the small size 36mm date, there is nothing to say, just shrink the 41 one size, right!
There is one more choice for small wrists. After all, it is equipped with the Dandong 3235 movement, which is still the only one in the 3235 series, right! So you can still consider VS for these 42mm Platinum Yacht, 3235 Log, 41mm Submariner. Later, he also entered the modification factory of DIW, and made some carbon fiber Submariner and Greenwich. Then there is also this black-plated gradient green Submariner carbon fiber outer ring, steel shell black-plated, right! Let me show you the workmanship. Nothing much to say, right! Well, what's there to say about Submariner? They just do what they do.
Then APS did a lot last year. Not only did they improve their AP product line, but they also released some classic formal styles from Yubo Longines. Searching for APS on the website will show you a lot of related reviews, with the focus on the first open-mold movement of the year, the new Shanghai 4302 movement, which is the 15500 movement. This movement has higher stability and power reserve than the 3120 movement. You can read the articles on this site for authenticity comparison.
Last year, it was upgraded to 15400. It has made some minor upgrades in details, and the texture and workmanship have been further improved. The dial has a lot of good texture, but unfortunately, the 3120 movement did not have an instant calendar. Its repair rate is definitely slightly higher than that of 4302. Anyway, the choice between these two brothers depends on whether you care more about the movement or the appearance. APS has just released the 1017 15400 co-branded Iron Man. How can I say this face is not that complicated! It looks simple, and it is still the corresponding 3120 movement, right? It just saves a modification fee! There is nothing else to talk about.
Then there is the AP perpetual calendar series 26579 black ceramic, which was upgraded last year. I won’t list all the details. But unfortunately, the white ceramic did not follow up with this wave of upgrades last year. Then the Royal Offshore series mentioned above finally ushered in the 3120 version 15703 and 15710. After several small upgrades in recent years, these two brothers have also been perfected. The details should be the first choice for offshore under comprehensive consideration.
Then there is the watch that I thought was very top last year, the IWC perpetual calendar. Although it did not really restore the perpetual calendar function! And the moon phase function is also missing, but it has done it. The layout of the disk is completely right! And each needle can move. I think it is very epoch-making for this kind of super-complex function watch. It is already very powerful; you can’t say that you can let someone make a perpetual calendar for you for a few thousand dollars! Right! You think too much, anyway, it is a milestone breakthrough! ; For those who like complicated functions but don’t have a budget of hundreds of thousands, it’s a good choice to play around with it to relieve your addiction
Then there’s the Air Factory 3K Factory, right! At the beginning of the year, he released the 076, which is the female version of the Blue Balloon with the Seagull 267 movement. There is nothing much to say about the Blue Balloon, so it is a no-brainer to buy it. He just made a watch that matched the version. Then his BT also won the Dandong 4130 movement last year. I think the only Daytonas he can buy are the Panda Daytona, the Black Ceramic Bottom Daytona, and the Ice Blue Daytona. Then he didn't make any other moves last year. Anyway, 3K has a characteristic that it is an air factory. His watches are extremely difficult to buy if they are not sold. Anyway, if you don't want to wait for an order, it is not recommended to look at his watches.
c+ was a dark horse last year. Although it only made the Greenwich 40 and Submariner 40 series, since 90% of the accessories are from the same accessories factory as CLean, it is reasonable for him to do so, on par with CLean, and I think his steel band is a little better than that of Clean. Anyway, it is also very top. In fact, the difference between him and Definite is hard to see, so you can buy either one, just look at which one you like! Anyway, we have made a 40mm series of Submariner horizontal screens; including a comparison with Rolex. Anyway, if you want to say what I personally recommend for the 40mm water level, I think it is C+!
Later, he released the 3285 movement produced by the old Shanghai movement factory, the third mold opening movement last year; currently this movement is also exclusive to his meteorite face Coke circle, because the old Shanghai factory has produced masterpieces such as 7750, so we were worried about instability before, right! It is said to be observed, but the current return rate is still extremely low. It is about the same level as the 3235 of the new Shanghai movement factory. Of course, this watch has only been released for about a month! Right! Don't draw conclusions easily;
Then there is the monkey factory ZF; you can also call it PPF, although it is an old brand factory! But there was no big move last year, just a little bit of small moves, just released some garbage; I don't want to mention it, the only ones that I can see are the 4500V and the Patek Philippe 5712. Then the 4500V is a steel king with good overall workmanship and details! But it still has two problems that I don't think are serious. The first is its logo; the Maltese cross logo, nine out of ten, it's hard to pick, and the second is that its buckle is very easy to break; so when you use it normally, be careful. If you like Zonghengsihai, you can actually look at the MKS solid bottom; MKS was revived last year, anyway, do you recommend ZF?
I think it is still worth recommending. The workmanship is indeed a little better than the texture of MKS. But~you have to accept those two points; anyway, I think the VC logo is toxic; in fact, if you look closely at these letters, none of them are right, they are all wrong and then there is the 5712 watch, right? It pioneered the industry precedent of replica watches – bundling; you heard it right, bundling with their Submariner, this watch was actually released in June; we also got it at that time, and the first evaluation, and then the watch was not sold in China until October, and then there were all kinds of premiums and subsequent bundling such mysterious operations, but why did they do it this way?
There are still so many people rushing to buy it, because it is equipped with the second mold opening machine 240 last year; this movement is also an epoch-making second-day artifact. It is enough to match the identity of the Dandong 4130 in the replica watch. It is the first fully molded full-function complex movement. Of course, although this movement is relatively top-notch, his plate is really a pile of shit; the color difference is really bad to my aunt's house; it is even worse than his V1 version, but even if it is made like this, it is still in short supply; I don’t think he has any plans to upgrade; wait for a good egg plate to be made! At present, all the watches on the market pay attention to what I said; substitute plates are also shit~don’t spend that money. How to say it, I personally still recommend this watch, why? Because his movement is very top. Putting aside the price factor, I still think that friends who like to play with movements can rush to buy one; then let’s talk about some new products from other factories!
BBR055, right! This watch is also very magical; when it was first released, it was also a monkey and a premium, and many people almost doubled the price to grab it, but this watch was made too rubbish; the return rate was also high! The popularity quickly went down; it went from heaven to hell in a snap, and no one cared about it for a while; then he looked very anxious later, right! He also made some small upgrades; the white gem 4-hole repair movement jump seconds! How to say it, he really worked hard, just like a poor student who actually loves to study, and then he also studied hard and did everything according to the requirements of teachers and parents. He did what he should do, but his grades just couldn't go up; he tried very hard to modify this watch according to the requirements of players, but the result...
Then there is krf; it was resurrected last year; it brought 36mm Perpetual and its younger brother Biwan, although it uses this PT5000 movement! But at least its overall workmanship is better than EW, which is also more, a choice! 36 Perpetual.Then the original Bulgari watch has a nice luminous look, which is quite amazing; but it’s a pity that the texture of the shell is not quite right; if you like this effect, you can buy it and play with it!
KOR; renamed EAST, which means East Factory, their ceramic J12; has also ushered in a wave of small upgrades; the degree of alignment is still quite high, and friends who like white ceramics can go for it;
Then there is the plastic watch that was very popular last year, the Swatch Omega co-branded model, how should I put it, I think the original version of this watch is also a pile of shit, haha, how should I put it, this watch has N versions of this replica watch on the market, I can’t count how many there are; there is a bioceramic material that is similar to the original version, but it’s a pity that this one uses a new generation of movement while the original one uses an old generation of movement, haha, Swatch is really good at clearing inventory in the name of co-branding; so why do I say that this watch Swiss version is also a pile of shit, the function of the toy and this Swiss version is also slightly different; because the boss movement is now unavailable even if you want to buy it, okay! Otherwise, you should consider the genuine product;
GS factory also has a small-size 50 fathoms, a new choice; they also made these two models without radiation; the workmanship is small and exquisite and lovely. If you like this small-size retro watch, you can try this 50 fathom style!
Then V7 is out, the new product is the Tudor Royal series, how to say~ this thing; if you buy the ones that come with the genuine product, it is not expensive; it is also good to get a genuine product; I don’t think this thing is very meaningful, but the workmanship is more worthy of recognition; it’s OK, then there is the AZ Moon Phase Master; updated V2 version; the same 925 movement as GF, and then upgraded, a big wave; and now compared with GF, there are both advantages and disadvantages, but the price is indeed cheaper than GF, four or five hundred yuan; the cost performance is quite high.
Then the original Audemars Piguet 67540 women's watch that comes with a diamond~ Anyway, don't worry too much about it; it's good-looking and worry-free to use; my suggestion is to give it to your girlfriend as an accessory, it's still a good choice.
Then the last GM weighted Rolex diary last year; the workmanship is exquisite and the weight is 166 grams; this tungsten steel weight is quite successful; it also gives GM, whose reputation was not very good, a beautiful turnaround! It is also a toy precious metal worth buying.
Last year; there were originally four mold opening machines. We talked about three 4302, 240 and 3285. The last Richard mold opening machine was originally the finale of last year, but due to the recent situation, right! ~ You also know that it has become the opening masterpiece of next year;; Of course, at present; anyway, the movement factory said that it is a mold opening machine. It is not certain whether it will call a zebra a zebra again, right!
I hope my article can help you. If you are interested, you may pay more attention to this site. More detailed disassembly, real shot evaluation, and true and false comparison will be updated later.
