Hello everyone, I am the watch editor of factory n. I have introduced the factory mks before, you can check (mks factory introduction). MKS factory started relatively early and can be said to be the originator of high-end watches. However, it did not make this kind of watches at the beginning, but followed the market trend and made slightly lower-end watches with the help of relatives. After 2013, replica watches appeared and were sold out immediately. MKS factory also began to layout this market. The first style was the IWC Mark series, hence the name MK. In 2018, the product series was fully upgraded and the name was changed to MKS factory.
MKS factory IWC Mark 18 in-depth review
Overall: The size is 40mm, one-to-one replica. So far, although the factory has not stated the version, it is the third major upgrade. Each time it is a one-to-one replica with reference to the original, so there is no need to worry about the size difference.
Dial: Blue, representing the vast starry sky, almost all pilot Little Prince watches have blue dials. This replica version of the MKS IWC Mark XVIII Little Prince is clear and easy to read. From the first version to the latest version, there is no color difference in color, which is difficult to achieve with colored dials. The following picture is a comparison picture of the official genuine product. The blue satin pattern dial is carefully crafted, and after being illuminated by light, it can present a beautiful gradient effect like the original.
The mirror is made of sapphire crystal, which is durable, and the case is made of 316L stainless steel. One of the upgrades this time is the brushing process of the case. MKS has explored the original process countless times and finally approached perfection. Every brushing on the case reflects the top domestic watchmaking level. The hour markers are full, the calendar window is trapezoidal for easy reading, the calendar printing font is clear, the luminous coating is smooth and uniform, and the simulation and texture are comparable to the original.
The bottom is engraved. The following pictures show the comparison between the bottom cover of the steel case and the ceramic case and the genuine product. We found that the two are consistent in shape, but the engraving strength of the genuine product is slightly deeper, and the replica is slightly shallower, but this can only be observed under comparison and magnification.
Strap and buckle: The brown calfskin strap is equipped with a simple pin buckle, which is atmospheric and steady. The texture of the entire MK pin buckle is still as good as the genuine product, and the polishing of the corners is delicate. It is comfortable and easy to wear and not afraid of falling. The engraving behind the pin buckle, MK factory does not cut corners when making replica watches, and the size and depth are one to one. Even the steel strap is equally exquisite, and after careful carving, it has achieved the same glossiness as the genuine product.
Movement: After the comprehensive upgrade, all 9015 movements are used, and the performance is more excellent and stable, but the only drawback is that the rotation sound is a bit loud.
How is the MKS factory IWC Mark 18?
Through the above comparison, we found that this is a very well-made replica watch with a stable movement and excellent appearance. The details are basically consistent with the original, and the buckle is interchangeable with the original. The original is less than 40,000, and the replica is about 2,000. It is a very cost-effective and playable replica watch. (How is the MKS factory Omega De Ville replica watch compared to the original)
