Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. Today, we are bringing you the newly upgraded Breguet Classique 5177 from FK Factory. This 5177 yellow gold-colored watch is modeled after the genuine product by FK Factory. The dimensions have been adjusted from previous versions, upgraded to the same 38mm as the genuine model, no longer exceeding 40mm. The dial font is completely identical to the original, and the white dial has a ceramic-like effect. The hands are upgraded to blued steel hands. The transparent case back replicates the design of the original CAL.777 movement, and the overall thickness of the watch is also consistent with the original. The base movement is the stable Japanese Miyota 9015, making it a simple yet by no means ordinary replica product. Now, let’s take a look at the authenticity comparison review between this FK Factory V3 upgraded 5177 watch and the genuine model!
Authentic vs. FK Factory V3 Upgraded Gold Edition 5177 Review
1.Front View Comparison：The FK Factory Breguet 5177 V3 upgraded version and the genuine model have no visible flaws when viewed from the front, resembling a pair of twins. Overall, the craftsmanship of FK Factory’s Breguet Classique 5177 V3 is extremely exquisite. The 38mm case features superb workmanship, with excellent electroplating that uses materials selected based on the authentic product. The dial details are also meticulously restored—the curvature and indices perfectly capture the original version’s nuances and charm, making it nearly impossible to distinguish between the replica and the genuine model just by appearance.
2.Crystal Comparison: The FK Factory Breguet 5177 V3 version uses sapphire glass for the crystal, coated with an anti-glare coating. The transparent and clear effect of the crystal is identical to that of the genuine model. Like the original factory, the sapphire crystal features double-curved glass with an anti-glare coating process, achieving the same transparency and reflective properties as the authentic version.
3.Dial Lettering Details Comparison: The dial details of the FK Factory Breguet 5177 V3 replica watch are entirely true to the original. Notably, the anti-counterfeit LOGO beneath the coaxial center of the dial hands is so meticulously engraved that it is difficult to distinguish even with a magnifying glass, demonstrating FK’s perfect craftsmanship. The dial of FK Factory’s Breguet Classique 5177 V3 upgraded version is extremely refined, with zero deviation in the size, shape, and color of the LOGO font on the dial surface compared to the original. The size and proportion of the date window at the 3 o’clock position are also excellently controlled. The dial features an enamel surface and blued steel hands, with colors and craftsmanship identical to the original. It is worth emphasizing that FK has also perfectly reproduced the laser anti-counterfeit LOGO beneath the axis of the dial hands.
4.Thickness Comparison: Whether measuring the thickness of the case or the size proportion of the crown with a vernier caliper, the measurements between the two are almost indistinguishable. The crown shows no visible differences to the naked eye, and the overall reflective effect is nearly identical. FK has also excellently controlled the Breguet-style coin edge guilloché patterns on the case body.
5.Movement Comparison: The case back of the FK Factory 5177 V3 replica also uses highly transparent sapphire crystal. Equipped with a Citizen 9015 movement, it improves the movement’s coordination and reduces the noise of the automatic rotor, making the entire movement precise, delicate, and efficient. As the movement is thinner, the wearing experience is closer to the original watch. The 9015 movement has no issues in terms of quality and accuracy. The main drawback, however, is that its similarity to the original movement is not very high.
6.Case Back Engraving Comparison: FK has also done a good job on the front of the movement case back, with both versions being almost identical. The only difference is that the engravings on the genuine model are slightly deeper. The internal structure of the case back is slightly different from the authentic version, including the water-resistant gasket, but the water resistance still meets daily usage requirements.
7.Strap Buckle Comparison: Let’s take a look at the strap buckle of FK Factory’s Breguet 5177 V3 upgraded version. The strap uses Italian cowhide leather, with a texture basically consistent with the genuine model, though the texture is slightly inferior to the authentic alligator leather. The precious metal markings on the back of the buckle also match those of the genuine product.
Overall: The V3 upgraded version of the FK Factory Breguet Classique 5177BA watch has undergone commendable improvements, with nearly all front-facing details perfectly replicated. Its simple three-hand design is highly suitable for business men! As for the movement, it is indeed a weak point—the simulation degree cannot match the genuine product, which is an undeniable fact. That concludes this review.
