Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is bokeytime. Today, I will answer a question that many watch friends are more concerned about, that is, which 4130/4131 Daytona does well, which has to be mentioned in the past when the N factory was rampant. At that time, only the N factory had the 4130 machine. At that time, there was no need to consider which one was good, just take the Daytona of the N factory. Now the environment is not very good, and one manufacturer can’t eat so many movements. The movement factory will naturally provide movements to multiple manufacturers. Bokey lists the manufacturers that now make the 4130 Daytona movement: C factory, VS factory, ZF factory, BT factory, aps factory, QF factory, and a few imitation N factories. So what is the real difference?
For Daytona this combination of dozens of watches, a manufacturer without much strength is impossible to develop each watch, we see such as ZF factory, APS factory on a few color scheme, VS factory on the main cost-effective, and the most color scheme should be the number of BT factory, but only a few of the color scheme inside is the real table development, some niche disk color scheme basically look at the picture to start, I can’t see all the color scheme Daytona real, I believe you should be more than I have seen Daytona should be much less, so the color difference is not the color difference is not elegant.
However, the currently recognized top brand in the market is Factory C. In terms of craftsmanship, it is truly comparable to the above-mentioned manufacturers, and there is at least no obvious difference visible to the naked eye! After all, there are only a few well-known shell factories for OEM production in the market. The real selling point of Factory C is that it basically creates molds for each genuine watch model, which at least eliminates issues such as color deviation and details. Moreover, Factory C is the most expensive. Firstly, the development cost is high, and secondly, its great reputation naturally leads to a price premium. Additionally, Factory C has strict quality control over the dial, with few problems such as crooked scales or misaligned glass.
Finally, here is some advice for everyone who wants to buy a 1:1 Daytona. Try to buy popular styles. Offbeat styles may have risks of color difference issues. If you have a high budget, directly choose the C factory. If you want cost-effectiveness, choose the factories mentioned above. The color must be a mainstream one so that there is no problem. The pictures are all comparison pictures of the C factory and the original. Everyone, read the text.
