Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. Among the popular replica watch models in Guangzhou Zhanxi Market, the Rolex Daytona is definitely among the top three in terms of popularity. In particular, the Daytona equipped with the 4130 movement is one of the most purchased replica watches by many watch enthusiasts and also the one with the highest satisfaction rate.
In the Zhanxi Watch & Clock Mall in Guangzhou, the Rolex Daytona has mainly gone through the following development stages: Daytona with 7750 movement → Daytona with 7750 movement plus 4130 splint → upgraded 7750 movement Daytona → Daytona with 4130 movement → weighted version of Daytona with 4130 movement.
Initially, various factories in Zhanxi mainly used the 7750 movement to replicate the Daytona. This movement achieved basically the same functions as the genuine one, with the timing function replicated on a 1:1 scale. However, the watch was thicker than the genuine version, and there were issues such as a date gap and loud rotor noise.
Later, in order to improve the simulation degree of the movement, some factories added a splint engraved with “4130” on the 7750 movement, which made the watch even thicker. Due to the splint, the winding efficiency of the movement also decreased, and the watch was prone to stopping unexpectedly. As a result, it was ruthlessly eliminated by the market not long after its appearance.
To solve the problems of thickness, date gap, and loud movement noise, some domestic movement factories developed an upgraded version of the 7750 movement. It not only replicated the functions on a 1:1 scale but also solved the three long-standing pain points mentioned above. Moreover, the stability of the movement has been greatly improved, enabling the 7750 version of the Daytona to achieve a qualitative leap in terms of appearance simulation and movement quality. Although the movement’s simulation degree is not high, the Daytona features a closed-back design, so the movement is invisible during daily wear. For friends who pursue cost-effectiveness, it is still worth recommending.
In another direction, Dandong Movement Factory has developed a brand-new integrated 4130 movement. It completely disassembled the genuine 4130 movement and replicated all components on a 1:1 scale. This makes the replica Daytona not only indistinguishable from the genuine one in terms of appearance simulation but also achieves a movement simulation degree of over 99%, truly realizing a full-scale mold replication from the inside out.
However, as watch enthusiasts have increasingly higher requirements for replica watches, for some precious metal Daytona models, such as the extremely popular 18K white gold cement gray Daytona and 18K yellow gold Daniel Wu Daytona, the 4130 version of the Daytona has an undeniable issue: there is a gap in weight compared with the genuine product.
