Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. In this watch review, we will introduce the APS Factory Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Moon 1368430. This model corresponds to the original new version, while the previous GF Factory version was the old model. Of course, after GF Factory encountered issues in 2023, it was renamed GO Factory at the end of 2023 and disappeared after clearing its remaining inventory. Therefore, the APS Factory new Master Moon is currently the best choice for purchasing the Master Moon watch. Although the old Master Moon models are still produced by ZF Factory and AZ Factory, their moon phase disks still have some discrepancies with the original, so they are not recommended. The APS Factory new Master Moon V2 upgraded version introduced today features an upgraded three-dimensional moon phase disk, which is the same as the original. Below, let’s take a look at the craftsmanship details of the APS Factory Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Moon series 1368430 watch.
The new APS Factory Master Moon has undergone several upgrades on the dial. The most noticeable change is that the printed logo has been replaced with a metal logo. Additionally, the hour markers are more slender, and the craftsmanship of the hands has been improved. The old version featured a two-tone design with one side matte and the other polished, while the new version has been changed to one side brushed and the other polished. In terms of details, APS Factory has done a relatively thorough job.
The hour scale nails are treated with mirror polishing process, and one of his cutting processes is also relatively good, there will be no burrs, and it looks relatively smooth and textured.
The six-o’clock moon phase disc is also new, and the V2 version has also been upgraded to the same three-dimensional moon phase as the original, compared to the previous APS V1 version.
When viewed from the backlight, he will also have a silver-gray texture
Under the indoor light, the effect is the same as the original, you can see the delicate radial lines, but you can’t see it under the outdoor strong light. One of his dials is also with a bit of arching, and the transitions are also very natural. At the same time, unlike the old model, the scale peg is attached to the dial. These points are also better done by APS factory. The mirror surface is also a sapphire glass that is more resistant to wear.
The case is made of 316L stainless steel, the whole shell follows the original design, and the shell body is polished by a polishing process, which needs to be cherished in the later wearing, because the polishing process is relatively easy to leave small scratches. There are two adjustment buttons on the shell, which are the moon phase button on the left side, and the date button on the right side.
The new Moon Phase Master Original is a little thinner than the old one, with a thickness of 9.5 mm, compared to the old one’s 9.9 mm.
The back is transparent, the middle is made of sapphire glass, and there is also a watch information engraved on the case back, and the font is also more profound. In terms of movement, it is Dandong’s 925 integrated movement, which has been launched for four or five years, and overall the stability is still okay. Including one of his structures, it can also achieve a reduction degree of 97% of the original, and there will be no problem of fake at a glance. It’s completely possible to bluff friends who don’t understand the table.
The original strap is real alligator leather, this is cowhide, you can also choose this crocodile leather, this is basically a year and then you can change it. The texture is ok. The original folding opening is also a quick-release design strap.
