Today, I will take Submariner 116610LV for an example, and picked up two best replicas to make a comparison review, hope you can learn something that will help you to make decision when need to buy one. About two best replicas of Submariner 116610LV, one is made by Noob, its latest version is V9, the other is made by AR factory, the latest version is V2. In their 116610LV, both Noob and AR can install Asia clone 3135 and Asia clone ETA movement in it, today, I will choose the model with Asia clone ETA movement to make this comparison.I got both watches before, and I think AR makes a better case. When I first got the ARF 116610LV on hand, I loved it, simply speaking, it gives me a genuine feeling. You know, I am not a watch expert and I will not make a very detailed and close comparsion between a replica and genuine, so the first feeling a replica watch gives me is very important. Although both Noob and AR factory make Green Submariner 116610LV with 904L stainless steel, and the case thickness is also the same, which is 13mm, but the case finish of AR is better than Noob, I also feel more comfortable when wearing the ARF 116610LV.The bezel of ARF 116610LV is better. First, both Noob and AR factory use green ceramic insert on the bezel, the green color used by both factory is very close to that of genuine watch. However, the polishing of the bezel is better on AR factory, and there is no gap between the bezel and case, on some V9 models Noob factory published, there is tiny gap existing, hope they can improve this flaw next time. Finally, the luminous coating on bezel markers has a platinum color tone like genuine on both Noob and ARF.Both Noob and ARF have their own advantages on the green dial. The white printings on Noob are more accurate than ARF, after all Noob has upgraded this replica to V9 edition, every time when they upgraded this watch, the dial printings could be improved. About the date window, AR has a more neat date font, when you first see it, you will choose AR, however, if you carefully with genuine, Noob has a correct date font. At last, about the hands, Noob makes them with iron, and the iron sheet is very thin, while AR makes them with stainless steel, so, whether in material or finish, the hands of AR are better than Noob.Both Noob and AR factories make dial lume correct.On the ARF V2 Edition 116610LV, the bracelet finish has been completed to be perfect, it can be even exchanged with genuine watch. Although being made with 904L stainless steel both in Noob and ARF, but Noob can not achieve such a high quality level in bracelet finish. On every piece of 116610LV Submariner AR factory has published, the bracelet fits case perfectly and no gap, but the gap between case and bracelet may exist on some pieces of Noob 116610LV.
Black dial is highly readable because of those large white hour markers and hands. There are numeral hour markers except at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock. The whole dial design meets the strict military requirement not only because the contrary color usage of black and white, but there are also lume material applied on markers at 3, 6, 9, 12 and central hour and minute hands, so the dial is readable even in the dark. The onion-shaped crown is an iconic feature of Big Pilot, it is very easy to open and rotate, the fit between it and the case is also perfect, so the replica could be water resistant to 50 meters.Finally, it is about the movement, which is an clone IWC 51111 automatic. The movement has a functional power reserve, so the indicator for remaining energy is working, not faux like the one on previous IWC Big Pilot replicas. If you have a chance to own such a replica, you should open the back, and will find the reason why it is is sold at a high price, and the progress the replica watch factory has made.
First, its size is 40.9mm×12.3mm, which can satisfy your requirement in sense of beauty. It is a little big with such diameter, and it is thinner than other normal wrist watch. Using such different size proportion really can give us special feeling in vision. And such unique style is almost revealed in every design details perfectly. Its case was made of solid 316L stainless steel, which is so delicate and bling in appearance. Combining with the scratch-proof sapphire crystal, it is so perfect collocation that has reflected its skillful craftsmanship fully. And also reflects the extraordinary temperament of wearer at the same time. Its dial uses black color, which can highlight its elegance and nobleness. What’s more, It’s markers are in golden, really a good matching with its black dial. It can be more lived with such decoration. Gold and black as main color in the whole, it reveals the style of gentleman. As we all known, In China, gold color means noble, which is only used for king in ancient age, and most of us still has this feeling now.
Compared with other common IWC Mark series models, this Mark XVIII titanium watch is very outstanding. Grey Titanium case, track-style minutes markers, brown dial and brown leather straps, these elements make the watch full of vintage flavor. The replica is a really a big surprise from GS factory.IWC Portuguese is a very famous watch and it is one of the best-selling dress watches in the world. In our watch market, there are three factories at least that are manufacturing IWC Portuguese watches, ZF, YL and 3A. Among them, ZF is the biggest and most famous one. Actually ZF makes the best quality replica IWC Portuguese watch, they are also the first factory that started to clone genuine IWC Caliber. Like this replica, ZF equipped a clone 79350 movement inside, this is a great improvement, because it is the first time for a factory to use a cloned IWC Caliber in a IWC Portuguese chrono replica watch, we only saw factories used such type of movements in IWC non-chrono Portuguese. The replica is a V2 edition, the V1 uses an Asian Valjoux 7750 movement, now the V2 uses a new clone 79350 like genuine IWC Caliber. This is the biggest difference, while there are certainly other improvement made on this latest version, let’s check it carefully in the following article.
