A few days ago, Rolex launched a new Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona series watch made of 904 steel, with a black ceramic Cerachrom bezel. N Factory followed closely and launched two “replica watches” equipped with N Factory 4130 movement, N Factory Daytona 116500LN-0002 and N Factory Daytona 116500LN-0001.
This black-faced steel case 4130 movement Daytona was launched by JF and AR factories before N factory, but they were not very good. Before N factory launched the 4130 movement, N factory and JF factory of the same period used the 7750 movement, so the thickness was obviously thicker; although AR factory used the 7750 movement to change the 4130 movement, the balance wheel position was not in line with the version. Later, AR factory corrected the thickness, but the two chronograph dials at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock became useless, so it fundamentally deviated from the definition of “replica watch”.
Until N factory launched the new 4130 self-produced replica movement, it achieved a powerful experience with synchronized thickness and complete functions.
Some watch friends said that the 7750 modified 4130 movement can also have full functions, but the editor tells you that the 7750 movement itself is designed to be thicker. Even if it is modified into the 4130 style, it will make the watch look fake at first glance because it is too thick, and the modified movement will be unstable and have a high repair rate.
In this regard, the stability of the modified 4130 movement of AR factory is OK, but the timing function is castrated. The exclusive customized 4130 movement launched by N factory in 2018 is a milestone in the history of “replica watches” and is also one of the three major events in the high-end replica watch industry in 2018. (1. 904L stainless steel is used in top-level replica watches; 2. The launch of VS factory 8500 integrated self-developed movement; 3. The launch of N factory 4130 movement)
N factory 4130 Daytona watch has a diameter of 40MM and a thickness of 12.6MM. The whole watch is made of 904L stainless steel and the outer ring is made of ceramic. It can be said that the material and shell are basically restored to the original. The outer ring of Daytona is a test stopwatch, which is mainly used to facilitate the racer to read the watch while driving (Daytona watches are a series designed and developed by Rolex specifically for racers).
The black steel Daytona of N factory is covered with a layer of plastic protective film from the factory, so that customers can have a good experience after getting the watch.
In order to enhance waterproofness, Rolex designed the three crowns of Daytona into knob-type crowns. The top is the start/pause timing function, the bottom knob is the reset timing knob, and the middle is the time adjustment function knob. The position and size of the three crowns are consistent with the original.
Why is this watch called Black Steel Day-because it is made of 904 Oyster stainless steel, the material strength of the whole watch is high, and it is still corrosion-resistant in extreme environments, almost like porcelain. This time, N Factory also unprecedentedly uses a customized version of KIF shock absorber (special shock absorber for high-end movement) on the movement. According to the official Rolex Cal.4130 movement design, the three-layer base plate is completely 1:1 replica of the original from chamfering to sun pattern. For watch friends who pursue the ultimate, it can be said to be a magical detoxification artifact!
The Daytona 4130 Black Steel Daytona launched by N Factory has some relatively good features. The following are the points given by the official N Factory.
[1] It can realize all the functions exactly the same as the original, and the thickness is basically the same as the original
[2] Use the most noble customized version of KIF shock absorber, and there is a blue hairspring
[3] The exposed part of the two timing buttons after locking is almost the same as the original, and there is no empty gear for the time adjustment head.
