GF factory small Fifty Fathoms series 5000-0240-O52A ceramic case blue surface replica watch review.
The GF factory Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 5000-0240-O52A watch has a diameter of 43.6mm and is also called small Fifty Fathoms because the common Fifty Fathoms has a diameter of 45mm.
The GF factory small Fifty Fathoms uses sapphire glass mirror and is also coated with blue film, with high transparency. The workmanship on the dial is also very good. The blue radial lines will show different glossiness according to different lights. The glossiness of the radial lines under strong light and ordinary light will also change. The same is true for genuine products.
Regarding the color difference problem: The blue dial of GF small Fifty Fathoms is slightly darker than the genuine one. This color difference exists objectively. If it is not compared with the genuine one, it is not a big problem. If the genuine product is photographed under different lights and different color temperatures, there will also be color differences. Therefore, some watch friends say it is obviously fake just by looking at the pictures. This statement is not strict.
GF small Fifty Fathoms uses the same ceramic bezel with liquid metal scales embedded as the genuine one. This outer ring technology is similar to that of N factory’s Omega 1948 and is very textured. The edge of the dial is also slightly bent in sync with the genuine one. This point is better than ZF factory and is closer to the genuine one in visual effect.
The filler of GF ceramic ring scale is much better than that of ZF Fifty Fathoms. In the previous review of ZF Fifty Fathoms, Bokey has already pointed out that the filler of the outer ring scale of ZF factory Fifty Fathoms has a particularly serious grainy feeling. One would think it is…
The base of the one-way rotating ceramic outer ring is also made of ceramic material. The bezel teeth are polished. The feel when rotating is not bad. The damping sense is strong and it doesn’t cut hands when rotating.
The red small second hand is also bent down. Some watch friends think this is a defect. In fact, it is not. The genuine product is also designed like this. Mainly because there is a certain visual error between the mirror and the dial. In order to read the time more accurately, the end of the second hand and minute hand has to be bent down. In addition, the polishing of the pointer is a bit lacking. There will be burrs on the edge of the pointer. The small Fifty Fathoms of ZF factory also has the same problem. This should be the bottleneck of the industry process. I hope the manufacturer can improve it in the future!
The opening size, calendar font, and background color of the calendar window in the 4-5 o’clock direction are all restored in sync with the original, and a small step is also made in the calendar window. The details are grasped very well!
Regarding the size and thickness of GF factory Blancpain Fifty Fathoms:
According to Bokey actual measurement, the diameter is 43.6MM, the thickness is 13.8 millimeters, and the weight is 97.
The case is made of forged ceramic and feels very light when worn. It is also the biggest highlight of this watch. Generally, small factories will not use ceramic materials to make this watch. After all, the cost is very high. As for how to distinguish products of large and small factories, this can also be distinguished by weight. Ceramic cases are generally more than 20 grams lighter than steel cases.
The crown on the other side is also made of ceramic material. It adopts a triangular pit pattern design to increase friction and is very convenient to adjust the time and calendar. The “JB” logo of Blancpain on the crown is engraved with a certain degree. The sandy feeling of partial frosting is clearly visible. The letters “JB” are engraved very three-dimensionally. The black rotating wheel feel. The whole crown can really be said to be a delicate work of art.
The back cover is made of ceramic material. In the middle is sapphire glass. The bottom cover is engraved with some information about the watch, 30 bar depth waterproof, BLANCPAIN brand. The movement is equipped with the Blancpain 1315 movement modified by Hangzhou 7-series movement. The overall quality of this movement is still good, and the power reserve reaches about 70 hours. Compared with movements like 2824 and 9015, it has half more power. (The ZF small Fifty Fathoms also uses this movement.) The modified 1315 movement has been carefully polished, and the splint has also been perfectly chamfered. It looks more realistic than the ZF factory small Fifty Fathoms. The color of the jewel bearing is the same as the original, truly achieving pure color and making the splint no longer be seen through at a glance. The integrated splint can not only make the appearance closer to the original but also better protect the movement and have more stable performance.
The material of the watch strap is artificial fiber weaving on the front and rubber stitching on the back. The stitching is impeccable. This dual-material watch strap has very high waterproof performance and excellent texture. The fit with the wrist is also very high.
The GF small Fifty Fathoms also comes with a pair of blue natural rubber watch straps. Friends who like swimming and surfing can change to the rubber strap and have fun. The waterproof depth of GF Fifty Fathoms is 100m, and the waterproof performance is reliable.
The buckle is a classic pin buckle. The material is the same as the case and is made of ceramic. The internal and external polishing is also meticulous. The tip of the pin has been polished with multiple chamfers, perfectly restoring the original details! The logo on the buckle is also very complete and the engraving is very three-dimensional.
In terms of luminous, it also costs a lot. The brightness is very high and the effect is the same as the genuine one.

Summary: GF small Fifty Fathoms is superior to ZF factory small Fifty Fathoms in details such as workmanship on the dial, bezel, and polishing on the movement. This also confirms why GF factory has the confidence to develop this Blancpain small Fifty Fathoms. At the same time, the reason why the price is more expensive than ZF factory is also due to these detailed costs.
