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.
The case is 44mm in diameter, it is made of Titanium, so the replica watch will feel very lightweight and comfortable to wear. Titanium case has black DLC coating plated, which makes the watch look tough. The bezel is anti-clockwise rotating, there is a lume pearl at 12 o’clock. Bezel markings are deeply engraved, the whole case and bezel are matt finished. About the crown, it is big and has square patterns on, so it is very convenient to rotate the crown to adjust time and date.Upon experience of H factory, ZF improved the dial on this replica Breitling Avenger to ensure it looks 100% the same as original. The metal Breitling logo on the dial is three dimensional, central second hand has a red tip that has an obvious look on this black dial. Date window is easily to be found at 3 o’clock because it has a red frame and white font in black background. Check photos below and compared them with genuine watch, could you please tell me how close the dial is?Black nylon strap perfectly matches DLC black case, each side of the band uses different material. The outside face is made of Nylon, while the inside uses black leather, such design on strap guarantees the greatest wearing comfort. Z factory also offers one pair of free camo leather straps for this replica watch. Here is the watch details:Movement: Swiss ETA 2814-2 Automatic, 28800bph, 25 Jewels Case: 44mm*13mm, DLC Plated Titanium, Uni-directional Rotating Bezel Crystal: Sapphire with AR Coating Dial: Black with Super Green Lume on Hour Markers and Hands Bracelet: Black Nylon Clad Leather Band with Tang Buckle Water Resistant: 50m
The movement is an Asia Clone 8906, which is based on a Chinese automatic movement. The movement looks very close to genuine Omega Cal. 8906, see the decoration on rotor and plate, as well as the 1:1 black balance wheel, they are really very similar to the decoration of Omega 8906.Here comes the watch specification of the replica.Movement: Asia Clone 8906 Automatic, Decorated Auto Rotor and Plates to Look Like Genuine Omega 8906 Caliber, with Black Balance Wheel Case: 45.5mm*17mm, Black Ceramic, Correct Lugs Engravings Case Back: See-Through Sapphire with Ceramic Naiad Lock System Crystal: Sapphire with AR Coating Dial: Real Black Ceramic, High Gloss Black Dial with Silver Hour Markers and Hands, Swiss Blue Lume and Green Lume on Dial Bracelet: Black Rubber Strap with White Hand Stitching, Black Ceramic Deployant Clasp Water Resistant: 50m
