Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Boji Watch Industry. Today, we recommend a Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Series Q1378420 watch from GF Factory, commonly known as the “Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Joker.” This model is the most popular in the Jaeger-LeCoultre lineup. Before the release of the 938 integrated movement version, most replicas on the market used modified 9015 or Citizen 8215 movements, which failed to achieve the authentic thickness of 9.9mm and were widely criticized, deterring many watch enthusiasts who loved this Joker model. Now, can GF Factory’s Jaeger-LeCoultre Joker with the Dandong 938 integrated movement version solve the “obviously fake at first glance” problem? Below, we will discuss the simulation accuracy and craftsmanship of the GF Jaeger-LeCoultre Joker through a combination of images and text.
Let’s take a look at the original parameters: Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Q1378420 Watch (Joker)
How many versions of the GF Jaeger-LeCoultre Joker 938 calibre are available?
GF has launched three color schemes for the Jaeger-LeCoultre Joker, with models including the stainless steel case with white dial Q1378420, stainless steel case with blue dial 1378480, and rose gold case with white dial Q1372520, which can meet the needs of different groups of people.
Let’s take the GF Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Q1378420 Joker Steel Case White Noodles as an example to see how this 938 integrated calibre GF Jaeger-LeCoultre Joker is made.
Which factory makes the best replica of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Joker?
First, from the overall appearance of the dial, the GF Jaeger-LeCoultre Joker’s dial texture is generally better than the AZ Factory and YL Factory versions on the market. Both of these factories’ dials have the problem of being obviously fake at first glance, mainly due to the overly thick reflective lines on the dial (AZ Factory) or insufficiently distinct radial patterns (YL Factory). GF Factory has already demonstrated its mastery of dial craftsmanship in its previous Jaeger-LeCoultre Moon Phase replicas.
From the control of the downward curve of the edge of the dial, as well as the delicate workmanship of the sunburst pattern, we can directly call it the highest version of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Clown replica, and let’s take a look at the workmanship details of the entire dial
The diamond-shaped scale hour markers are inlaid in three-dimensional shapes, all of which have been delicately polished and polished, which is beautiful and generous, and easy to read. The Jaeger-LeCoultre logo is printed in full and three-dimensional at 12 o’clock, and all fonts are printed neatly and neatly, with no ink spillage.
The two large needles in the middle are yin and yang hands, one side is polished and the other is sandblasted, and the layers are clear, and the advantage of this process is that it is convenient for people to better read the time.
Function Analysis of the Three Dials of GF Factory’s Jaeger-LeCoultre Joker:
The direction of 3 o’clock is the calendar disk, the date disk hand is a burnt steel blue hand, very moist, the middle circle is a CD pattern, and the calendar font is just within the circle range, and it will not be on the top or down.
The direction of 10 o’clock is the power display disc, this power display is also a real function, and the power pointer can be turned up to 40 by manual winding, that is, 40 hours. We can then look at the power indicator hand to get a real picture of the watch’s power reserve
6 o’clock is a small seconds dial, the small second dial also has a CD pattern, several small disks and the disk is hierarchical, and the straightforward point is more three-dimensional
The GF Jaeger-LeCoultre Joker case is made of 316L stainless steel, with a very soft side line that extends to the lugs. The polished stainless steel case exudes its own unique luster, with a delicate and beautiful texture. The thickness of 9.9 mm also makes this watch even more sophisticated, full of formal style!
On the other side, the handle adopts a delicate and compact straight-pull design, the crown with anti-slip texture design feels good to operate, and the top is engraved with the Jaeger-LeCoultre logo, which is clear and natural. The small button hidden above the head is the way of this Jaeger-LeCoultre clown to adjust the calendar, squeeze it to adjust the day, and the specific adjustment method Bo Ji has also made a picture for your reference.
Looking over the back, the GF Jaeger-LeCoultre Joker has a sheer bottom design, and the sapphire glass in the middle is very transparent, and it is absolutely comfortable to fit the wrist. The polishing of the case back is also considered to be careful, and the English logo of the Jaeger-LeCoultre brand, the 3-bar waterproof strength and the coding are comparable to the original
What is the quality of the GF Jaeger-LeCoultre Joker 938 calibre?
This 938 integrated movement has been tested and fed back by many cousins, its stability and performance have been affirmed, and the comprehensive daily error is within ± 8 seconds, which is a very good movement, you should also know that AZ and YL factory have a great repair rate of clowns and moon phases before it, resulting in many customers are afraid to buy, the reason for the large repair rate of these two is because there is a gap between the barrel of this movement and the transmission of the winding system, which will unconsciously empty the mainspring and lead to steal stops. Later, Dandong Movement Factory also discovered this problem and readjusted it, which greatly reduced the repair rate. GF has just followed up with the launch of this Jaeger-LeCoultre Joker, and I have to say that GF is still very strict about the performance of the movement, avoiding unnecessary after-sales service! For our merchants, it is also a big benefit, after all, no one wants to sell too much!
Like other replica integrated movements, although the 938 integrated movement can reach more than 98% in terms of structural simulation, there are still certain flaws, that is, there is an additional outer pile in the position of the balance wheel, simply put, the genuine product uses a non-card hairspring, while the replica movement is a card degree, which is still not a breakthrough in the current domestic movement technology, and it is expected that one day the domestic movement can break through the limitations of foreign technology and make the first non-card movement!!
The engraving on the movement deck is very clear and powerful, the polish is still a little less than the original, and the color of the gemstones is a little darker.
The black strap is clean and elegant. The strap is made of calfskin with a crocodile pattern pressed into soft texture and hand-stitched. With the classic Jaeger-LeCoultre folding clasp, it is more secure and reliable to wear.
The buckle also adopts Jaeger-LeCoultre’s very classic quick-release folding buckle, and the overall polishing details are very good.
Summary: GF Jaeger-LeCoultre Clown Master Replica Version, to solve the previous shell thickness of the wrong version of the phenomenon, plus the blessing of the 938 integrated movement, so that the simulation on the back is greatly enhanced, very confusing, is a rare top replica watch, but also a more unique personality of a dress watch, like the watch friends may wish to take it into the bag!
