Bokey TimeHello everyone, when it comes to Cartier’s watch models, the Ballon Bleu is always a standout. Cartier is primarily a jewelry brand, and as many watch enthusiasts know, its products often incorporate elements of jewelry. The Cartier Ballon Bleu itself is designed like a piece of jewelry, featuring an elegant oval shape. It comes in four sizes—28mm, 33mm, 36mm, and 42mm—catering to the preferences of watch lovers worldwide. For women, the Ballon Bleu is a top choice, thanks to its excellent craftsmanship and stunning aesthetics. Due to the watch’s popularity, many replica watch manufacturers have created their own versions, such as V6 Factory, AF Factory, TW Factory, etc. These manufacturers have done a remarkable job in replicating the original, with V6 and AF being the most prominent in the market. Both excel in craftsmanship and details. Below, we’ll share a detailed look at AF Factory’s 33mm Cartier Ballon Bleu, accompanied by high-definition real-shot images in the following sections. For more details, feel free to directly contact Bokey Watch Industry.
What movements are available for the AF Factory Cartier Ballon Bleu 33mm?
For the Ballon Bleu, there is a relatively wide range of movement options. For the 33mm-sized watches, both quartz and mechanical movements are available. The quartz version uses a Swiss quartz movement, while the mechanical versions offer a Japanese movement and a Swiss 076 movement. Naturally, the Swiss 076 movement comes at the highest price! You can choose a movement based on your budget. The outer cases are all the same, and apart from the different movements, AF—always strict with itself according to Swiss watchmaking standards—has naturally delivered exceptional craftsmanship in this 33mm Cartier Ballon Bleu series watch. Moreover, it is equipped with the original Cartier Cal.076 movement, which perfectly solves the long-standing “fake when opened” problem of the Ballon Bleu, truly deserving the title of an outstanding masterpiece. For movement selection, it is generally recommended that women opt for the quartz version, as it is more convenient for later use without much concern about the watch stopping unexpectedly. Mechanical watches, on the other hand, involve the tedious task of winding. Indeed, the convenience of the Ballon Bleu is why many watch enthusiasts favor it!
Review of AF Factory’s 33mm Cartier Ballon Bleu Replica Women’s Watch with Japanese Movement
The entire watch is made of 316 stainless steel, and the case has been polished to give it a very shiny finish. The watch features an oval design in terms of appearance, with a very round case and extremely precise craftsmanship details, which are key highlights of the watch! On the right side is the crown, which is inlaid with a sapphire, making the watch look very luxurious! The thickness of the case is exactly the same as the authentic model, both being 10mm. Under the strict control of AF watchmakers, both the curvature of the case and the polishing craftsmanship ensure genuine quality! The craftsmanship details are truly excellent!
The crystal is made of high-transparency sapphire crystal that is exactly the same as the original original, so you can see all the details of the inner dial flawlessly, and it is natural and easy to read. Note here that for the fisheye effect proposed by many cousins, there is almost no fisheye in 33 size and 28 size, because the mirror surface of the watch is too small, the refraction of light is not enough, and the genuine version is also this style, so everyone’s attention!
The head is also embedded with spinel, which is different from the ordinary high-imitation rubber on the market, and under the refraction of light, the spinel is as blue as the genuine product
Let me briefly explain why I recommend the AF Ballon Bleu 33mm mechanical watch today!
Many watch enthusiasts say that the tail of the minute hand of the women’s mechanical Ballon Bleu is bent downward?
In fact, this is mainly due to the manufacturer’s lack of attention to details. Although V6 has been making Ballon Bleu watches for a long time, the movement issue has always been a problem – specifically, the height of the cannon pinion is relatively high, and the glass mirror has a curved shape. If the tail of the minute hand is not bent downward, it would lead to a stop in movement. However, bending the tail results in a discrepancy with the genuine product in terms of details. The AF Cartier Ballon Bleu evaluated today solves this “instant fake” problem. AF Factory uses a movement with a low cannon pinion, so there is no need to bend the tail of the minute hand. Below are two comparison pictures: Figure 1 is the AF Factory Ballon Bleu, and Figure 2 is the V6 Ballon Bleu.
For the AF Factory Cartier Ballon Bleu, the engraving depth and precision on the case back are just right. AF Factory also offers custom engraving services, allowing customers to have their preferred numbers inscribed on the back. The watch is equipped with a Japanese Seiko NH05 movement, which ensures very stable timekeeping, low return rate, and accuracy within 8 seconds. Additionally, AF provides a version of the Ballon Bleu with a Swiss ETA 2671 movement, which is a higher-end configuration. After all, the genuine Cartier uses the ETA 2671 as the base movement, and this version costs approximately twice as much as the Japanese movement model.
Finally, for the strap of the watch, the AF factory has a choice of steel belt or belt, of course, it depends on personal habits, many cousins also take the steel belt, and then buy crocodile leather, so it is the best choice!
