This time, Factory C launched the GMT116713 gold model. Because the first original version was completely damaged, I bought another one temporarily, and there will be some differences in details. However, in the process of comparison, it will still be compared in the form of pictures and texts, and will not avoid the important and focus on the trivial. Although there will be differences in the details of the genuine version, the overall craftsmanship will not have too much deviation. Every model in the future will be presented to watch friends in this way of true and false comparison. If there is any, it will be corrected, and if there is no, it will be encouraged.
In terms of case details, the appearance of the case is all made of 904L case body, which perfectly restores the entire case shape of GMT and corrects the feel of GMT turning. The crown part also shows the embossed crown effect. It uses the same 3186 movement as the original. The bottom cover part is also the same as the original, polished, brushed, and brushed at the bottom of the case. The fit between the bottom cover and the case is almost the same. The gap between the crown and the case can be compared by yourself. In the inner shadow part, the tail of the letter “R” of the entire series has been corrected and slightly raised. If you really want to nitpick, it is the inner shadow part. The shading is not as delicate as the original, which is mainly limited by domestic laser technology and equipment.
Comparison of the details of the ceramic ring font, the 12 o’clock triangle part, the top angle, and the bottom angle part, the sharp corners are all rounded. It is consistent with the original. In the font part, the depth is only one aspect. The original process is that the bottom surface of the font is all perpendicular to the straight body of the font at 90 degrees. To achieve this effect, the mold can only be formed in one piece. Laser typing will have a series of problems such as beveled edges, rough shading, and broken edges. The font depth is consistent with the original, sinking 0.13mm. In addition, the edges of the font are rounded and polished. The electroplating color is also digitally adjusted. Most of the ones on the market are pure gold, and the genuine ones are slightly red, which is much more comfortable in terms of appearance.
In terms of the comparison of the word pins, the new version of the square word pins no longer uses the low-lying rounded corner effect. Relatively speaking, the overall height of the word pins is increased, and the outline is more upright, but the edges will still be slightly chamfered. The rounded corners of the word pins are still processed by the above process. Regarding the word pins, it is also a precedent created by the clean factory. For the first time in the process of mass production, the rounded word pins are manually polished. In addition, the C factory has always adhered to the original factory process, although the original is not so perfect in some parts. For example, the original Rolex luminous is very granular, especially the edge of the word pin, which often appears crystals and flashes, because Rolex pursues the ultimate “ice blue” luminous effect. Interested watch friends can understand that the C factory uses bgw9 and SL-blue. The gram weight price of these two luminous powders has reached more than 300 yuan, so it is not filled with luminous powder, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is “liquid gold”.
As for the pointer, the watchmaker of Factory C also put a lot of effort into the needle shape, three-dimensional sense, curvature, luminous filling, and the central axis, the tapered inverted triangle central axis. You can compare the highlight part of the hour hand, the light and dark sides are basically the same, and you can see that its curvature and three-dimensional sense are very close.
The details of the side of the strap do not leak the steel color. Whenever Factory C involves the two-gold/full-gold style, not leaking the steel color is the bottom line of Factory C, and it is also the last stubbornness for watch friends who are entangled in precious metal watches. Otherwise, they will not do it. Since they do it, they will do their best. However, the cost and sadness behind it really cannot be expressed in words, so the two-gold Submariner style will be out of stock for as long as half a year. The yield rate is really too low. If the steel parts are defective during the assembly process, they can be reground and used, but after PVD electroplating, the strap is assembled. Once bulges and scratches appear, it cannot be refurbished and is directly abandoned. Consumables are wasted and the cost of electroplating is increased. So the gold or all-gold styles will cost hundreds of yuan, which is the reason.
For the splicing of the head grain, use the three-section head grain, splice, and assemble after electroplating, which fits perfectly. The whole head grain is directly CNC processed. The three-section head grain requires three head grains to assemble the finished product. The process requirements and precision are also extremely high.
The font printing can be enlarged to this multiple. The font is already regular and there is no obvious difference in the font shape. For all kinds of details, Factory C has also put in a lot of effort to fight the original.
Because of the page relationship, the strap part is connected to the above picture. The strap comparison actually answers several questions that everyone is most concerned about. The split head grain does not leak steel color, and the quality continues to use the AR strap. For the fading part, Factory C has been shipping gold for more than a year, and there is no large-scale customer response to the fading problem, because it uses PVD vacuum plating instead of water plating, which is anti-oxidation, strong adhesion, and high cost. So there is no need to worry about quality issues.
