Can replica watches be indistinguishable from the real thing? Are top-level replicas of watches authentic?

Is a 1:1 top-level replica possible? To be honest, none of the current replica watches can be called 1:1. In my concept, 1:1 means that they must be exactly the same from the inside to the outside, not only in terms of materials, but also in terms of movement. If we only talk about the appearance that can reach 1:1, there is no one, and it is rare to reach a similarity of more than 95%.

Watches can be used as a time tool and have gradually evolved into works of art or more of a decoration. For some people, it is not a necessity, but it is also a necessity. So what is a replica watch? To put it bluntly, it is a replica watch or a fake watch. To be more precise, it is the best replica watch and fake watch. This kind of watch is far superior to those ordinary replica watches in quality and workmanship, and stands high at the top of the pyramid of replica goods.
There are no two identical leaves in the world, nor are there two identical watches, so this 1:1 is meaningless. I believe that many friends have come into contact with replica watches and have a certain understanding of them more or less. So are there any so-called god-level replica watches? Regarding this point, everyone may have different criteria for judging this “god-level” in their hearts. I personally feel that there are two standards for a good replica watch: 1. It cannot be identified by the naked eye at normal social distance; 2. The movement is stable and durable.
The most mysterious factory, N Factory, was once rumored to be a god, which led many watch friends to only recognize N Factory, thinking that as long as it is N Factory, it must be a fine product. It can be said that they have suffered from it! All major manufacturers have their own specialties, and N Factory does not make all watch models. In the past, N Factory was indeed very prosperous. Some watch models such as Fifty Fifty, Submariner, Audemars Piguet, Panerai, etc. are said to have reached the pinnacle. Especially Fifty Fifty, it has always been a legendary product in the industry. However, many watch models have been surpassed by their peers now.
Many watch friends will encounter some merchants who claim that their watches are Swiss movements when purchasing replica watches. In fact, the mainstream movement of replica watches is Seagull, and then there are Hangzhou, Shanghai, Dandong… There are real Swiss movements, but they are very few. Moreover, most of them are unpolished rough movements. Even if they are equipped with Swiss movements, they will be far from the original finely polished movements. When it comes to domestic movements, some friends may sneer at them. In fact, domestic movements are not as bad as you think. The error standard of Swiss movements is 30S/day. The Seagull movement that has passed the trial adjustment can be more accurate than the Swiss movement.

Seeing this, I believe many friends will still have questions in their hearts. Is there any replica watch that can reach the so-called god-level? There are indeed many watches in the replica world, which have won a lot of praise from watch friends, and they are also products that can reach the “god-level” in everyone’s hearts. Here are a few of them for everyone to briefly introduce, in no particular order:

1. Blancpain Fifty Centennial was a N factory artifact before, and now ZF factory has made it.
2. Panerai PAM111 Panerai’s first choice for entry-level artifacts, manual mechanical watches.
3. Jaeger-LeCoultre Compression Master Jaeger-LeCoultre’s best replica watch.
4. Audemars Piguet 15703JF factory 2824 movement.
5. The highest version of V8 of Submariner N factory.
6. The representative work of Portuguese VII formal watch with high appearance.
7. Mark series MK factory 2892 machine.
8. Blue Balloon V6 2824 machine.

Can the high imitation watches on the market be compared with the original ones?

1. Low-level counterfeiting. The chance of buying: very high. This kind of low-end imitation is the easiest for ordinary people to see. The hundreds of yuan in the physical store mall are all of this kind. The most obvious is that there is no genuine style, and the seller created it himself. In order to fool the public, a few holes are randomly cut and more needles are added. At first glance, it looks very special and awesome, but in fact it is very fake and completely inharmonious.
2. The chance of buying watch case goods (imitation machine): high watch case goods, as the name suggests, are products with the watch case as the main research object. This kind of product is also called imitation machine, that is, the literal appearance of the watch case is still exquisite. Some styles of genuine products can be known at a glance which style they are making, and there is nothing wrong with them from a distance. Some people also say that the only thing you need to look at when you look at a replica watch is the case. “Shell goods” is not a derogatory term, but in my opinion it is not a commendatory term either. After all, people who are particular and share the same hobbies will definitely ask you to take off your watch and let him observe it if he thinks your watch is good-looking. I think most people don’t want to face that kind of panic.
3. Professional imitation (reproduction) Purchase probability: medium. This type of watch is what we call a replica watch. Polished movement plus fine imitation case. Even experienced watch friends can’t tell the authenticity of this type of watch. At present, many so-called second-hand or overseas purchases are almost all of this type of watch, so you should be careful when purchasing.
   How to check whether the high-end imitation watch in your hand is a top-level replica
   First, you must be familiar with the style and movement of the real watch (you can refer to the watch house and watch lovers). The top-level imitations are clearly engraved and beautiful, while the low-end ones are rough and have no aesthetic appeal.
   Second, look at the factory label on the bottom of the watch. Usually, famous big manufacturers will have their own logos on their signatures, and some watches will also have laser anti-counterfeiting on their signatures.
   Third, carefully observe the appearance of the watch. Polishing: The polishing of top-level watches is very particular, while the craftsmanship of low-end watches is far from that. Font: The font of top-level watches is full, while that of low-end watches seems to lack confidence. Function: Most top-level watches will work hard on functions and are fully functional, while low-end imitations are a combination of hollowing out and multi-functions (mostly fake), with an inharmonious layout. Some unscrupulous sellers will package these sources as Hong Kong products or Taiwan genuine products. Many buyers saw the logistics list sent from Taiwan and Hong Kong, and immediately believed it. Maybe they sent the goods from Guangzhou to Hong Kong and Taiwan, and then sent them to the buyers. It is also very important to judge whether the seller is reliable during the chat. Those who are indifferent and have a bad attitude, and can’t explain the watch information are all unreliable.
   At the end of the article, a few more words from the heart, you must have a good attitude when buying imitation watches. It can be said that when you buy watches, especially mechanical watches, you must be prepared for problems, and genuine products are no exception. You spend money to buy watches and after-sales service. As long as the workmanship is good, the goods are consistent with the version, and there is always someone to take care of after-sales service, it is a good thing. Another thing is to respect the replica watch industry and merchants. Most of them are relatively moral and well-educated. Although this industry is not very decent, it has paid a lot after all. This industry is created because of your love for watches, because you like to wear different watches when going out, because you don’t want to waste a lot of money to buy original watches, and you don’t want them to be too fake, so the replica watch industry has been spawned to solve these needs of yours. Don’t underestimate a replica watch. The process is not much less than the original one. This industry is really not easy. Replica is also a culture, and it has indeed created value for many players.
