Hello everyone, I am the editor of N Factory Watches, dedicated to sharing professional knowledge of replica watches. I have seen a lot of operations of various manufacturers in the replica watch market. Take the Breitling Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft of GF Factory for example. It has often been used as the facade of GF Factory. This watch has reached its peak since its appearance. It is the most authentic masterpiece of GF Factory. So how is the workmanship of the V3 version of the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft after the GF Factory upgrades it again?
Introduction to the genuine Breitling Blackbird Reconnaissance Aircraft of GF Factory:
Brand: Breitling
Series: Avenger
Movement type: automatic machinery
Movement model: Cal.17
Watch diameter: 44 mm
Case material: black titanium
How about the Breitling Blackbird Reconnaissance Aircraft V3 replica watch of GF Factory
After GF Factory upgraded the second-generation version of the Blackbird Reconnaissance Aircraft in November 2017, it upgraded the V3 version in October 2018 after a year. There is basically no big change in appearance. The main changes are the internal modifications, the milling and polishing of the movement and the fabric of the strap. Let’s take a look at other subtle changes.
GF Factory Blackbird Reconnaissance Aircraft V3 Enhanced Edition has mainly made the following upgrades based on the V2 version:
1: The strap uses a technological synthetic fabric with the same texture as the original, and has been treated with high temperature to further enhance the degree of alignment. This fabric is imported from Switzerland, the quantity is rare, and the production cost is high, so it can only be assembled on the V3 version.
2: The movement adopts the top-grade polished and milled automatic winding movement, and the movement with excellent data is selected with a probability of 1 in 10 and stamped with ETA2824-2 steel stamp (not available in other versions).
GF Blackbird case technical highlights:
The background texture of the outer ring engraving is delicately processed! This has been upgraded in the v2 version of the product.
The welding technology of the buckle LOGO is seamlessly welded, smooth connection, and smooth feel.
The double-curved sapphire watch mirror is smooth and transparent, and the blue anti-glare film is synchronized with the genuine product, which can be seen at a glance.
The case is carbonitrided and crystal-plated, anti-oxidation, and does not turn black! (All GF Blackbird cases have undergone 72-hour wear resistance test + salt spray test) (Warm reminder: The V3 enhanced version will be sold at the same time as the V2 version. You can choose the higher-configured V3 or the more cost-effective V2).
This is the copywriting at that time, I described it in detail. Now basically no V3 version is released, because the V4 version has been released. The existing ones are basically V2 and V4 versions of the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft. We will describe the GF factory V4 version of the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft in detail in the next issue.
In general, there is not much difference between the V3 version and the V2 version in appearance. The technical focus of the case has not changed. The main changes are the movement and the strap. If you have a large budget, you can consider v3 or v4. The most cost-effective is still v2. After all, the performance difference between the two is not much.
Let me comment on the movement again. The meaning of the V3 to change the engraved movement and stamp the Swiss eta2824 steel stamp is to synchronize the appearance of the original movement, but the performance is still the same. In addition to the non-transparent design, I think this move is not very meaningful for watch fans who specialize in replicas. If it is just to get closer, then the gem color can also be distinguished in the eyes of the appraiser. If you really want to use a Swiss movement, you can directly customize the ETA movement. Of course, this is just a personal opinion.
