Hello everyone, I am the editor of the n factory watch, dedicated to sharing watch knowledge and professional replica watch reviews. I hope that every article published can help watch friends choose a real replica in this mixed replica market, rather than being shoddy. Today, the editor brings you the evaluation of the AR factory Rolex Yacht, to see how the workmanship of the AR factory yacht is, and will it be fake at first glance?

We all know that the AR factory and the JF factory are on the same production line, and AR is a new brand established by JF to compete with the N factory in the Rolex brand series of replica watches, so the replica watch of the Rolex Yacht-Master watch we are going to introduce today, the AR factory, is also stepping on the shoulders of the N factory. Since the AR factory launched the replica watch of the Rolex Yacht-Master watch, basically the products of the N factory are no longer inquired. This is a successful strategy, different from the past. JF factory has been making replica Rolex Yacht-Master watches before. Basically, the series is complete and the quality is comparable to that of N factory. However, as long as N factory products are available, watch fans tend to choose N factory watches. This is because the brand influence of N factory is too huge, so watch fans have a certain degree of blind worship. However, the launch of the AR brand is very successful. JF factory uses the highest craftsmanship on all AR Rolex series products, so that when retailers get this watch, they gradually recognize that AR factory is the best craftsmanship level for Rolex replica watches. On this basis, AR factory continues to work hard and improves the series and craftsmanship of Rolex yacht replica watches. For example, it is the first to launch 37mm yachts, which increases the choices of watch fans and increases recognition, thus gradually taking most of the high-end market share of Rolex brand.

How is the workmanship of AR factory Rolex Yacht-Master watch compared with the original product

AR’s super new product Yacht-Master super imported 904L yacht 40mm series watch, equipped with 2824 movement, stable performance and can be upgraded to Swiss movement. Here is an additional explanation. Regarding Swiss movements, many watch fans think that there are no Swiss movements in China. I don’t know why some watch fans have this understanding. Swiss rough movements can be bought in China. This type of movement is consistent with the movements of Tissot Mido, such as ETA2824, 2836, 2892, 2671 or SW200. Many models of movements are available. However, this year, the movement price has been raised sharply because Richemont Group has gradually controlled exports, and the price is slightly higher. However, relatively speaking, the stability of the Seagull movement is still good. The structure is the same as the Swiss movement, but some parts are slightly less sturdy, but the stability is no problem. There is no problem with normal wear for a few years. There is no need to choose a Swiss movement.

1: The strap and case are both cast from imported 904 steel (the details of grinding and polishing are very delicate) and feel full. The CNC process of the steel strap and case of the AR factory is unmatched by all the current replica factories. The knife carving process is delicate, and the steel feel of the strap and case can make the whole watch a step further.

In addition: Rolex YACHT-MASTER “116655” (Golden Yacht) series tapes have the same technology and texture as the genuine ones, and can be interchanged with the genuine ones!

2: The bezel of AR is stamped down in the same way as the genuine ones (making the bezel and the edge seamless and smooth). Previously, all bezels were basically pasted on, which looked low-end. At the same time, the gold yacht ceramic bezel of AR factory also achieved the same stamping process as the genuine ones. This upgrade has improved the craftsmanship of all yacht master watches.

3: The color and radial pattern craftsmanship of the text are basically the same as the genuine ones, which cannot be distinguished by the naked eye. You don’t have to worry about being seen through when giving gifts or wearing it yourself.

The case is made of 904 stainless steel, which is wear-resistant and bright. The brushed craftsmanship on the side of the case is delicate and finely polished. The workmanship of the dial pointer is highly consistent with the genuine ones, and the scale is bright and luminous. The artistic form of the bezel font is the same as the genuine one and is bright and neat, and the bezel is frosted. The side crown is engraved with the classic Rolex crown logo, which is the same as the original. This watch adopts the oyster bottom cover design, which is not transparent, which greatly increases the simulation of this watch. All the engravings and design ideas of the strap and clasp are the same as the original and have been carefully polished or polished, with excellent hand-held effects. In addition, all Rolex products of AR Factory are equipped with genuine overseas purchasing packaging materials, so that watch fans can have a good shopping experience.

Will the AR Factory Rolex Yacht-Master watch be fake at first glance?

Through the above comparison and evaluation of the AR Factory Rolex Yacht-Master, we can draw the conclusion that the workmanship of the AR Factory Rolex Yacht-Master is not fake at first glance, that is, you don’t need to look at it when you wear it out. However, there is definitely a certain gap between the materials and movements of the AR Factory’s replica products. The author summarizes the following points

The genuine rose gold and platinum and other precious metal materials, while the replica watch can only use the gold-plated process due to cost restrictions, so this leads to the slightly lighter weight of the whole watch. Precious metal replica watches have this disadvantage.
The bidirectional rotating bezel of this AR factory Rolex Yacht-Master watch is loose, and the rotation feeling is different from the original. This Yacht-Master watch is a bidirectional rotating ceramic bezel, and the 60-minute three-dimensional marking bidirectional rotating outer ring of the Yacht-Master is made of precious materials. The matte frosted outer ring makes the polished numbers and scales very prominent, and it is convenient for the wearer to calculate the time, such as calculating the time it takes for a sailboat to pass the distance between two buoys. This functional and unique outer ring shapes the watch’s outstanding personality. It can be said that the Rolex factory has spent a lot of effort on this functional application alone, so the replicas basically do not meet the standards in this regard. This is also the biggest difference that many fans of the original watch feel after receiving this model.
This AR yacht replica watch mostly uses the Seagull 2824 movement, which is very different from the original. The original independently develops the 3235 movement, so there is a difference in the direction of adjusting the time and the texture of turning the crown. However, this cannot be improved at present, unless a new generation of 3235 integrated movement is produced with excellent performance.

The above three points require huge investments, such as heavy metals, such as ensuring the level of rotation technology, such as the development of the movement, so almost all the replica watches are unable to solve these three aspects. However, as a non-transparent watch, coupled with the excellent case and strap manufacturing process of the AR factory, this watch is difficult to distinguish between true and false in appearance. It is no problem to use it as an accessory for detoxification. Although the Seagull movement is far different from the 3235 movement, its stability is still excellent.
