The Ghost King was actually made by Factory N at first. Basically, Factory N makes all the popular Rolex models, but the workmanship is not satisfactory. Many details are not achieved, so many watch friends cannot enjoy the highest level of detoxification version after they get it. However, after the AR factory Rolex Ghost King entered the market, it successfully broke this situation. It was the first manufacturer to use 904L steel material, and the watch strap case workmanship was the best. So far, no manufacturer has surpassed it. After launching the AR factory single red Ghost King and AR factory gradient blue Ghost King, it added another AR factory black Ghost King, which was also upgraded to the v2 version.

AR factory super god work super 904L SEA-DWELLER 116660 Black Ghost King strongest “V2” upgraded version.

AR Factory V2 Upgraded Version Black Ghost King Replica Watch Review
- First of all, the color of the scale. The luminous powder filled in the scale of the previous version of the dial is different in depth, so some scales are gray and some are very white, which looks inconsistent. When I first started selling this watch, I thought it was a defect, so I changed a few pieces with the factory and found that it was a common problem. It can only mean that all the dials of the first generation have this problem.
- Upgrade the Night Pearl. In fact, this situation has improved when the AR factory produced the first generation of gradient ghost king. The Night Pearl is round and textured, but the orientation is biased. It always leans to one side when it is carried. These are all small problems, but the AR factory black ghost king has this problem, which means that the opening of the ceramic outer ring is biased. The V2 upgraded version corrects the position of the Night Pearl and flashes in the center.
- There are two choices for movement, 3135 and Seagull 2824 movement. Some people say that the movement has been upgraded. I don’t think this is an upgrade or improvement. Although 3135 sounds like a lot of improvements, many watch fans prefer the Seagull 2824 movement because they were scared by the after-sales problems of the domestic 3135.
In fact, when AR launched the first generation of Rolex Ghost King, it was already a leader in the market. However, due to the deviation of the scale and the color of the night pearl dial, it became a criticism among many watch fans. At that time, its excellent case and steel belt steel craftsmanship far surpassed the workmanship of other factories, so the first impression and the texture on the hand made many watch fans choose the Rolex Black Ghost King of AR factory, although it had many shortcomings in the first generation.
The difference between AR factory V2 version Rolex Black Ghost King and N factory V7 version
- Dial: Black is relatively easy to use with other colors, and there is basically no color difference. AR factory is relatively darker and brighter. This has a lot to do with the material of the AR factory dial. Unlike other factories, AR factory uses black ceramic, so it feels black and bright. This material is very beautiful when used on black, and it is not easy to have color difference, but it is easy to have color difference when used on green. In terms of the feeling of the dial, AR is better.
- Night Pearl: The N factory one is a bit whitish, while the AR one is more rounded, like jade. It looks more comfortable, and this AR one is the same as the genuine one. Although the AR factory’s first generation Rolex Black Ghost King Night Pearl is beautiful, it is basically not centered, and is biased. The V2 version of the Black Ghost King corrected this obvious mentally handicapped shortcoming. The night pearl feels better on the AR factory V2 version of the Rolex Black Ghost King.
- Ceramic bezel scale. In terms of color, the AR official advertises a platinum scale, but it is definitely not, but the AR factory V2 upgraded version of the Rolex Black Ghost King has better durability in white. Due to the process, the AR factory V2 version of the Black Ghost King is inlaid with scales like other Rolex Submariners, and it is not easy to drop the scales. This is also the feedback after wearing it, but all the water ghosts of the N factory will turn gray after wearing for a period of time, and the AR is better in color. Comparing the depth of the scale, the N factory scale will be slightly lighter, while the AR scale is deeper. This has been compared with the official pictures, and the AR factory did it right! The depth of the scale on the AR outer ring is at least half as deep as that of the N factory, just like the genuine product. However, it is precisely because of the inlay process of this scale that once the scale paint falls off or there is a problem with the ceramic bezel, after-sales service is very troublesome. Basically, the factory will replace the entire watch case, and after-sales service is very expensive. This situation has led many watch dealers to refuse to sell the Rolex Submariner series products of the AR factory. After all, for customers, the after-sales service of replacing the entire watch case when the ceramic bezel is broken is unacceptable.
- The helium exhaust valve is specially developed for professional divers. During deep-sea diving, divers often work in the diving bell for several days. Before reaching the horizontal surface, the diving bell is filled with a mixture of helium and oxygen. Helium molecules are lighter than air and can penetrate into the watch and push the crystal mirror out under the action of atmospheric pressure. Opening the helium exhaust valve before reaching the horizontal surface can discharge helium, thereby preventing the watch from getting water. However, the exhaust valves of both manufacturers are for decoration. Among the replica watch manufacturers, the only one that can truly achieve the exhaust valve function is the Super Ocean II of GF Factory, but this function is basically useless at present. In comparison, the one made by N Factory is slightly more prominent, while the one made by AR is slightly more concave. From the appearance point of view, AR is the same as the original.
- The curvature of the lugs is slightly different between the two manufacturers. The one made by N Factory is slightly curved. The one made by AR is relatively straighter. In terms of comfort, AR is slightly better.
- The three-dimensional effect of the text is similar between the two manufacturers. The English font of N Factory is relatively fuller. This one made by N Factory is the same as the original. The details of the font of N Factory are still in place, after all, it has been studied for many years and has more experience.
- The center axis of the second hand, the one made by N Factory is solid, and the one made by AR is hollow. The two factories are different from the original. But N is slightly closer. The center axis of the original is solid, but there is a convex point in the middle of the solid. But the center axis of the second hand of the original has a protruding point inside.
- The engraving on the back of the watch buckle is relatively rough on the N factory, probably because it uses the corroded steel stamping process, while the AR is more delicate, laser steel stamping. The small crown AR is closer to the original. The back of the watch buckle lock is rougher on the N factory, which is a bit cut. The AR is more delicate, and this position is the same as the original.
- The bottom cover is similar, both are steel + titanium alloy. The engraving on the N factory is relatively delicate. The small crown of the N factory is fuller. Additional note, the black coating font here will fade after wearing for a long time, and the original will also fade, so in order to avoid this situation, try not to get water or sea water, keep it dry.
The above are the differences between the AR factory V2 upgraded version of Rolex Black and the N factory Rolex Black Ghost King. It can be said that the details are better than those of the N factory. In addition, the AR watch case is made of 904 steel, which is the biggest confidence of the AR factory. The grinding, engraving or wire drawing process of its 904L fine steel is the best in the market, and its steel texture is infinitely close to the original. Therefore, the author believes that the best watch on the market is the AR factory v2 version of Rolex Black Ghost King.
