How about the craftsmanship and quality of the ZF Factory Vacheron Constantin Overseas 4500V with a silver-white dial?

Hello everyone, this is Bokey. Today, I bring you a ZF factory Overseas 4500V silver dial replica watch. Recently, ZF factory has released many new products, so the evaluation has been delayed a bit. For example, the Hublot Big Bang colorful ceramic series and this time’s Vacheron Constantin Overseas 4500V. This is also another series of replica watches from ZF factory’s Vacheron Constantin. Previously, they also made the FiftySix three-hand model and the moon phase and annual calendar models. The workmanship is still relatively good. Now, let’s talk about the workmanship details of ZF factory’s Vacheron Constantin Overseas 4500V silver and white dial steel king through physical shooting and see if it is worth buying? And what are the improvement and upgrade points compared to the 8F factory’s Overseas.

ZF factory Vacheron Constantin Overseas 4500V watch evaluation:

First, measure the size data. The appearance diameter is 41 millimeters, the thickness is 11 millimeters, and the weight is 159.5 grams. The size and weight are all in line with the genuine product. In terms of thickness, it is also the only third-generation Overseas 4500V on the market that is in line with the original version. Other factories are a bit thicker.

For the front appearance, first make an explanation. In Picture 1, the sunlight is relatively strong when shooting, so the silver-white dial looks a bit warmer. Picture 2 is the effect under normal light.

The mirror uses sapphire glass and is overall very transparent. The sunburst satin brushed finish on the dial is also very delicate. There are different changes under different lighting. Appreciate it from multiple angles.

Zoom in to see the workmanship details of the dial. First, the LOGO at the 12 o’clock position is also made relatively narrow. In contrast, watches made by other factories are relatively fat. This ZF factory does a good job and is also installed relatively straight. Looking at the Vacheron Constantin brand English below, I believe friends who have learned about the 8F Overseas should notice that the letter A on the 8F factory’s Overseas is flat-headed, while the genuine product is pointed-headed A. This time, ZF factory has also corrected this detail and there is no obvious flaw on the dial.

The inner bezel is printed with fine minute and second scales and aligned with the trapezoidal scales on the dial. The glass edge is also relatively transparent and there is no white border visible.

In terms of the hands, the polishing is also in place and there is no burr feeling. The central axis is a bit more hollow than the genuine product, but the difference is not significant to the naked eye. After all, the picture is enlarged several times. In terms of the calendar window, there is also a metal frame and a small step shape is made. In terms of the calendar font, it is also synchronized with the genuine product. It is not like the PP5711 that fills the entire window, but some may have the phenomenon of misaligned calendars.  Bokey will also help with quality control and carefully select.

The entire dial scale uses trapezoidal studs. As we can see, the edges of the studs of ZF’s Overseas are all beveled and polished. The craftsmanship is much better than that of 8F and it looks more textured. The white luminous coating is also filled relatively neatly without overflow.

For the case part, the whole watch is made of 316L stainless steel. The front gear-shaped bezel is polished and installed. As can be seen from the pictures, the fit between the bezel and the case is relatively high, and there will be no excessive gaps or warping phenomena.

There is also a chamfering treatment at the corner of the lug, so there is no cutting feeling when touched. And the steel strap head piece can also move slightly.

Both sides of the case are polished with a mirror finish. The overall brightness is very high, like a mirror. There is a Maltese cross king’s emblem relief on the top of the screw-down crown. In terms of function, it is relatively simple. Unscrew the crown counterclockwise, and after it pops open, turn clockwise to wind the watch. Pull out one notch to adjust the calendar and two notches to adjust the time. To lock the crown, push it in and hold it while tightening clockwise. Only after tightening can the waterproof function be ensured. This ZF factory’s Overseas 4500V can be used for swimming.

The back uses a screw-down back cover and is also equipped with a sapphire glass. All the engraved characters that should be on the bottom cover are restored, and the engraving depth is also relatively in place.

In terms of the movement, a 5100 modified from a 9015 movement is used. Currently, there is no integrated movement for Vacheron Constantin in the replica market. But in terms of the overall appearance, the simulation degree of the movement can reach about 85%. For example, there will be a deviation in the position of the balance wheel compared to the genuine product. However, in terms of timekeeping, it is still relatively stable and accurate. In terms of noise, ZF factory has also made noise reduction treatment, so it will not make a clattering sound.

In terms of the strap, ZF factory’s Overseas 4500V synchronizes with the genuine product’s quick-release head piece design. Just press the quick-release button on the back to change the strap. And the quick-release screw is also round-headed. This is also a relatively in-place place. However, unfortunately, now ZF factory’s Overseas only has a steel strap version. If ZF factory later releases rubber strap or leather strap versions, it will be very convenient to change the strap.

The satin brushed finish process of the semi-Maltese cross bracelet is also relatively delicate. The beveled cut and edge chamfering at the connection of each link of the strap are all polished. With nearly eight sides of polishing, it is also very cumbersome and labor-intensive.

The buckle is also designed the same as the genuine product, with several teeth engaging. The opening and closing feel is also relatively smooth. There are also some brand information engravings inside when opened.

In terms of luminous, ice blue luminous is also used. The brightness is still good.

Reference for wearing pictures. Bokey wrist circumference is 15.5 cm.

Summary: This time, ZF factory’s Vacheron Constantin Overseas 4500V replica watch is relatively high in terms of the overall detail restoration degree. Except for some deficiencies in the appearance of the movement, the other workmanship is relatively in place. It also fills the gap in the replica market where there is no first-tier factory making the third-generation Overseas 4500V steel king. Watch enthusiasts who like it may consider buying it!
