Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. In the replica watch market, specifically in Zhanxi, no major factory wants to have too many competitors. However, in reality, many models are produced by different major factories, and there are countless small factories, so competition is everywhere. Today, let’s talk about the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms series mainly includes dive watches with a diameter of 45mm and a 43.6mm Bathyscaphe series. ZF Factory has produced the full range of 45mm Fifty Fathoms, and it also has a 43.6mm Fifty Fathoms model. However, since ZF Factory previously competed with GF Factory by producing the Breitling Blackbird Reconnaissance Aircraft (although ZF Factory’s Blackbird is not as well-made as GF’s, GF Factory also chose to produce ZF Factory’s products to compete), GF Factory has also introduced a 43.6mm Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe. In terms of craftsmanship, the 43.6mm Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe from GF Factory is slightly better than that from ZF Factory. The specific details are as follows:
First, let’s talk about the dial of GF Factory’s Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe. If the blue color of GF Factory’s version is compared with the genuine one, there will be a slight color difference, approximately 3%.
The blue radial-grained dial will show different glossiness according to different lights. The gloss of the radial grain under sunlight and ordinary light will change. The original is also like this. So the dial color of GF factory is actually very good.
Dial elements: The workmanship of GF factory’s dial is very fine. The pointer shape and scale size are all in line with the original. The letter printing font on the dial is also completely in line with the original.
The unidirectional rotating ceramic outer ring has very good workmanship and there will be no loose feeling when rotating.
GF factory’s Blancpain Fifty Fathoms gray ceramic, 43.6mm * 13.8mm, the thickness and size are all consistent with the genuine product.
The case of high-tech satin gray ceramic has bright luster, high hardness, no discoloration, no contamination, and is not easy to wear. The tooth ring is in line with the original, with strong three-dimensional effect! Never fade, smooth feel and does not hurt the skin. The ceramic case is much lighter than the metal case.
The case of GF factory’s Blancpain Fifty Fathoms is made of ceramic material with matte satin finish. The texture is excellent. The lettering on the right crown is neat. It has both matte and brushed finishes. The satin brushed finish processes the case texture, giving the gray ceramic case a charming gray metal tone charm.
GF factory’s Blancpain Fifty Fathoms uses Hangzhou 7-series movement. The original is Cal. 1315 movement. GF factory’s Hangzhou 7-series movement, after being processed by the splint, the polished sun pattern is delicate and smooth. The metal sheet of the splint is chamfered. The ruby color is bright. The decorated movement is very beautiful. But the position of the balance wheel is different from the original. The original balance wheel is at 5 o’clock, while GF factory is at 6 o’clock. The small gears on GF factory’s movement cannot rotate and are only for decorative purposes. GF factory’s see-through movement score: 80 points.
The strap of GF factory’s Blancpain Fifty Fathoms is made of nylon material. The lettering on the buckle is very deep and very clear.
In addition, GF factory will also give a pair of blue rubber straps for the convenience of watch friends to play in the water.
Luminous effect.
Summary: The GF Factory’s Blancpain Fifty Fathoms gray ceramic watch is extremely challenging in craftsmanship, especially in the forging of the ceramic case. GF Factory has dedicated significant effort to the case and dial, with the dial color achieving a 97% matching rate to the genuine model. The GF Factory’s dial color is notably superior to that of the ZF Factory, as the ZF Factory’s dial blue is too light, making the GF Factory version the best choice. The GF movement is also stable and precise, though there are some differences when compared to the original movement.
