Bokey TimeGenuine vs Replica Evaluation: KZ Factory’s Longines Master Collection Dual Calendar L2.755.4.78.6 – Review of the “Second Best in the World” Model
Before 2016, when it came to top-tier replica Longines Master Collection dual calendar watches, Bokey only recommended the Longines Master series from JF Factory. The most popular model at that time was the Longines Master dual calendar, which dominated the Longines replica market with an unshakable position. Perhaps due to a shift in JF Factory’s strategic focus, the Longines replica series gradually took a backseat, and no additional improvements were made.
By 2016, other factories began to make efforts to enter the Longines replica market. The most prominent ones were MK Factory and KZ Factory, which positioned their models differently, resulting in distinct product lines. As an established replica manufacturer, MK Factory naturally needed no introduction regarding its craftsmanship. Here, we should focus on KZ Factory, a new player that rose to prominence through Longines replicas. It has been dedicated to excellence, continuously pushing the boundaries of craftsmanship for Longines Master replica watches. Let’s now compare the KZ Longines Master dual calendar model. It is equipped with the genuine Longines original movement Cal.L636.5, allowing the entire watch to be perfectly interchangeable with the original. Unprecedentedly, it comes with a packaging bag for the original Cal.L636.5 movement and an authentic Dutch boutique warranty card—namely, the latest 2017 original Longines packaging. This is the ultimate version that requires no upgrades, as it is molded from the genuine product. Therefore, it rightfully earns the title of the strongest replica of the Longines Master dual calendar.

Compare the head: The polishing, structure and thickness of the head, KZ has done a good job, but I don’t know if you have noticed that the genuine crown actually has no sleeve! We guess that KZ disassembled the genuine product and opened the molded plate, and then assembled it back and lost the casing? The sleeve can play a very good waterproof effect, and whether there is a sleeve in the crown part of the genuine product, I will go to verify it and then make up for it, and I also welcome to leave a comment from my cousin who knows this problem.
