Bokey TimeSo, how about the craftsmanship of ZF Factory’s Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Barracuda replica watch? Let’s talk about it below.
First, let’s take a look at the parameters of the genuine watch: Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 5008B-1130-B52A (Barracuda). The retail price of the genuine model is CNY 104,500.
Currently, there are two types of Blancpain Fifty Fathoms watches. One features a sapphire bezel, and the other a ceramic bezel. The version with a ceramic bezel and sharply contoured case was initially called the Bathyscaphe Deep Submersible, and it isn’t the most authentic Fifty Fathoms. The model produced by ZF Factory, however, is the authentic Fifty Fathoms with a sapphire bezel. Its curved sapphire rotating bezel exudes excellent texture—especially under strong light, it shines brilliantly. In the dark, the luminous scales beneath the sapphire bezel glow, just like the original sapphire bezel, and it’s more aesthetically pleasing than the ceramic bezel version.
From the appearance, the sapphire one-way rotating bezel has a very good texture. The hour markers follow the original version and use the aged beige-red two-color luminous scale. Imported Swiss luminous paint. Brings an extremely stunning luminous effect. The beige-white two-color pencil-shaped hands make the watch look full of a sense of age.
The ZF Factory Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Barracuda is made of 316L stainless steel, with a watch size of 40.3mm×13.23mm. The case details are polished and restored in place, and the logo on the side crown and the Blancpain brand letters are restored very accurately.
In terms of movement. Blancpain Fifty Fathoms uses the Dandong version customized CAL.1151 movement. The deck polishing effect is good. The overall simulation degree reaches more than 90%. The only difference is in the position of the balance wheel. The genuine product is at 7 o’clock, and the ZF factory makes it at 6 o’clock. The genuine product is a self-produced movement, so there are some differences. Basically, there will be no psychological burden in normal social distance and daily wear.
The strap is the same as the genuine strap. The natural rubber material is not afraid of water. It is comfortable, lightweight, and breathable. It is very suitable for wearing while playing in the water. The polishing details and font workmanship of the buckle are excellent. Everyone knows that Blancpain Fifty Fathoms is the best diving watch. Compared with the traditional 45mm diameter, this 40mm diameter is a special size for limited edition watches. It is unisex and has a cool style that transcends gender.
The wearing effect is comfortable. The surface texture is beautiful. The temperament matches the whole watch very well. It is much better than the previous canvas strap. Moreover, the natural rubber strap is not afraid of water. The wearing is close-fitting, comfortable, lightweight, and breathable.
In terms of luminous, the luminous of ZF factory Blancpain Fifty Fathoms is synchronized to restore the genuine product, and it is also the strongest luminous watch in the recognized replica version on the market.
Summary: The Blancpain 5008B barracuda ZF version continues the high-level workmanship of the factory. The overall appearance is very good. Although there are differences between the movement and the original version, with the charming appearance and limited edition elements, I believe many watch friends will recognize it!
