Bokey TimeToday, we bring you the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms series 5000-0130-B52A from GF factory. This watch is also the same model as the one worn by Li Jian. The case made of high-tech satin black ceramic has high gloss, high hardness, color, is not easy to be stained and is not easy to wear. It has a silky feel and does not hurt the skin. The all-black mysterious characteristic shows the charm of this watch.
1.Overall comparison: Whether it is from the outer ring, dial color, pointer size, time scale thickness and calendar, they are basically the same. The diameter is 43.6 millimeters, and there is no objection at all. GF factory has always adhered to the 1:1 mold replication of the original watch and uses the same high-tech satin black ceramic as the original version, showing great sincerity.
2.Calendar comparison: The Blancpain ceramic Fifty Fathoms from GF factory has the same stepped diagonal calendar window as the original watch, but the window step of the GF version is slightly thicker, but the font of the calendar is printed well.
3.Dial font comparison: Below the 12 o’clock position is Blancpain’s classic logo. The font size of the Blancpain ceramic Fifty Fathoms logo from GF factory is synchronized with the original watch. The needle body is filled with Swiss imported C3 luminous powder. The brightness durability is close to the real value, and the color is synchronized with the real value. It has a light green color and can be clearly seen whether underwater or at night. Perhaps it is because of the first batch. The edge of the pointer does not look smooth enough. One possibility is the problem of luminous powder filling technology. The second is the problem of polishing after cutting the watch hand. In short, the burr feeling is obvious. I hope the future version can be improved!
4.Thickness comparison: As a mechanical diving watch, the thickness of the watch is naturally slightly thicker than that of ordinary watches. The thickness of its case is completely visible to the naked eye. The original watch is 13.99 millimeters, and GF is 14.13 millimeters. Of course, the difference measured by an electronic caliper is only 0.14 mm.
5.Case comparison: The Blancpain ceramic Fifty Fathoms from GF factory has the same black ceramic material and process as the original watch. The angle cutting technology of the case is very demanding. And a brushed process is carried out. The middle crown adopts a triangular pit pattern design, which saves time and effort in adjusting time and is very convenient. The “JB” logo of Blancpain on the top is clearly visible. Here is a science popularization for everyone. Making a ceramic case is not difficult. The difficulty lies in brushing and polishing on ceramic that is many times harder than metal and presenting a metallic shiny texture. In the past, the one who brought this technology to the extreme was ‘Audemars Piguet Offshore’. Now the case texture of ceramic ‘deep diver’ is not only on a par with ‘Offshore’, not to mention it is achieved on plasma ceramic that is much harder than the ceramic of ‘Offshore’.
6.Crown comparison: The engraving on the crown of GF factory is sonorous and powerful. The bottom is the same matte texture as the genuine product. The size is the same and there are no excessive flaws at the corners.
7.Movement comparison: The Blancpain ceramic Fifty Fathoms from GF factory uses the accurate Hangzhou 7-series movement modified into Blancpain’s self-produced Cal.1315 movement. A deck is placed on top of the normal movement. This increases the thickness of the watch. Secondly, the gears and jewels on the splint will not move. Therefore, this is the reason why the third-generation replica movement is being introduced one after another. For example, the VS factory 3135 movement for Submariner, the C factory 4130 movement for Daytona, the VS factory Panerai P9000 movement, the VS Omega 8500 coaxial movement, and so on. Fortunately, GF factory has done fine polishing treatment on the movement splint, which can prevent problems such as the copper chips of the splint falling into the movement and causing the movement to stop unexpectedly.
8.Strap and buckle comparison: The strap of the GF factory Fifty Fathoms is made of waterproof canvas material. The buckle is a classic pin buckle. The material is the same as the case and is made of ceramic. The buckle is engraved with a LOGO. The tip of the pin has been chamfered and polished on multiple sides, perfectly restoring the original details!
Bokeytime has also released the evaluation details of the GF factory Fifty Fathoms 5000 black ceramic watch before.
