Dial comparison: Under the same light source, the dial color of the V6 Factory Ballon Bleu is very close to that of the authentic model, while the market version is relatively whiter.
Comparison of Cartier LOGOs: When enlarged, the LOGO of the V6 Factory Ballon Bleu still features clear and full – bodied fonts with neat edges, showing almost no difference from the authentic model. In contrast, when the fonts of the market version are enlarged, they are obviously distorted, appear pasty, and have burrs.
Comparison of Roman font scales: V6 factory blue balloon V7 version of Roman font has upgraded the printing process, the font is full and delicate, and the shape is closer to the original, while the market version font is flat, no three-dimensionality, more sand holes on the surface, and burrs on the edges.
Sword-shaped blue steel finger comparison: V6 is closer to the original than the market version in terms of the shape or color of the needle, and the shading comparison is also V6 closer to the original, and the market version has a rigid and rigid texture, and the transition is unnatural!
7 o’clock hidden LOGO comparison: V6 is relatively close to the original product in terms of size and thickness, and the market version is slightly weaker and the sand hole is obvious after enlargement

Calendar effect comparison: V6 and the original are very centered, the market version is lower, and the calendar has been literally obscured
Crown gemstones: The V6 crown gemstones are the same color as the original, the shape is also rounded, and the market version is flat, fake at first glance! If you are interested, you can compare the products of other companies in the market, and the level of V6 in this gem can be said to be quite high!
Comparison of the appearance of crescent glass: Judging from the figure below, the similarity between V6 and the genuine product is very high, which can be said to be the top level in the market, while the market version of the crescent is relatively large and much thicker than the original product. The fisheye effect is relatively easy to achieve, and there is not much difference between the three products!
Clasp comparison: The V6 blue balloon still beats the market version in terms of polishing details!
Comparison of raw ears: Looking at the quality from a small point, all the raw ears of the V6 blue balloon are customized and the same one-shoulder secondary ears as the genuine products, and the market version uses ordinary double-shoulder raw ears!

Bottom cover LOGO comparison: Both products are equally perfect, and the comparison with the genuine product is very similar, but the market version is too sticky due to the bottom protective film, and we can see from the picture that it has been deglued into the LOGO, which is very difficult to clean!
Font comparison under the bottom cover:V6The font effect under the bottom cover of the blue balloon is still more perfect than the market version,More importantly, the product flow code of the blue balloon,That is, the product code should be the first six digits of the change,And the market version actually put the end of the “3765”The product model that never changes of course the flow code,Each table is different,This defect leads to a glance to distinguish the truth from the false,Too careless!
Movement comparison: The genuine product uses the 1874MC movement, the V6 blue balloon and the market version both use the domestic 2824 movement, but the V6 long blue balloon V7 version is still the same as the previous version, using the fish scale pattern batch flower movement, the appearance is more beautiful, the movement price is much more expensive than the market version, and the V6 movement uses the same shock absorber as the genuine product, and the stability is better!
The V7 version of the Ballon Bleu comes with a standard warranty card, hangtag, and the case back serial number, which are all three-code consistent.
