GF factory Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 5000-0130-B52A black ceramic detail review:
First of all, let’s measure the overall data of the GF factory’s Fifty Fathoms black ceramic. After actual measurement, the diameter is 43.6mm, the thickness is 13.8mm, and the weight is 94.7 grams. The overall size and weight are in line with the genuine product.
Now let’s take a look at the front of the GF factory’s Fifty Fathoms black ceramic. The satin frosted black ceramic case is equipped with a one-way rotating satin frosted black ceramic bezel, embedded with ceramics and filled with liquid metal scale satin. Overall, it looks very textured. Moreover, the function of this watch is not complicated. It is a simple three-hand design. There is a calendar window between four and five o’clock. The hour markers are displayed in round and trapezoidal shapes. The hands, hour markers and the luminous pearl at 12 o’clock on the outer ring are all covered with luminous coating for easy reading at night.
The mirror material is sapphire glass and is coated with anti-glare blue film. The overall transparency is very good.
In terms of details, the black dial has been processed with relatively delicate radial lines. It has different visual effects under different lighting. This is done relatively well. At the same time, its edge is also slightly sunken like the genuine product. Looking at it, it looks like an arched dial. This is also a good place.
The processing of the hands is also relatively neat and clean. The longest hand is the second hand. The end is also made with a bright red touch. The two thick hands, namely the minute hand and the hour hand, are also polished. There will be no roughness on the edge.
The one-way rotating ceramic liquid metal. Compared with another factory on the market, the ZF factory, the outer ring scale process is relatively clean and tidy without impurities. Especially under the action of light, the gloss is brighter than that of the conventional ceramic ring. The inlay process of the luminous pearl at the 12 o’clock position is slightly insufficient and does not look so neat.
The date window is between four and five o’clock. The inside of the calendar window also has a stepped beveled treatment. The font shape is relatively large and fills the entire window.
The case of the GF factory’s Blancpain Fifty Fathoms is made of ceramic and uses a satin brushed process. The texture is excellent. As can be seen from the pictures, its entire case shape and polishing process are relatively delicate.
The back cover of the GF Fifty Fathoms adopts a see-through design. The bottom ring is exquisitely polished and polished. The engraved letters on it still have a deep and three-dimensional texture. Although there are many engraved letters, the thickness and size ratio of each letter are just right. There is also the engraving of “ZrO2” on the lug, which means zirconium dioxide. The chemical formula is ZrO2 and it is the main oxide of zirconium.
The GF factory’s Blancpain Fifty Fathoms is equipped with a Hangzhou 7 series movement and modifies the original Cal. 1315 movement deck. The overall appearance can reach about 90%. The polishing treatment of the splint is also very good. There is the delicate and smooth sunburst pattern polished. The metal sheet of the splint is chamfered. The ruby is bright in color and the embellished movement is very delicate. However, the position of the balance wheel is different from that of the genuine product. The position of the balance wheel of the genuine product is at five o’clock, while the GF factory is at six o’clock. Generally speaking, the back movement of the GF factory’s Fifty Fathoms can be restored to about 90%.
The strap is made of canvas material, which has strong water resistance, is beautiful and generous, and is relatively durable. The interior is made of black rubber material, which is comfortable to wear and has a good fit with the wrist. In addition, a pair of fluororubber straps are also included when leaving the factory. This material is not easy to get dusty and has good hydrophobicity and softness.
The GF factory’s Fifty Fathoms black ceramic 5000 buckle adopts a pin buckle design and the material is also ceramic. The entire pin buckle is brushed and the buckle tongue is also processed with several sections. The GF factory is still relatively attentive in controlling and restoring details. The “BLANGPAIN” engraving on the buckle is also relatively deep and the font fills the entire buckle surface.
Summary: The GF factory’s Blancpain Fifty Fathoms gray ceramic watch is very difficult in terms of workmanship, especially the forging of the ceramic case. The GF factory has put a lot of effort into the case and dial. Moreover, the color of the dial is also very in place. The matching degree reaches 97%. The color of the GF factory’s dial is much better than that of the ZF factory. The blue color of the ZF factory’s dial is relatively light. So this GF factory is the best. The movement of GF is also very stable and accurate. It is a rare diving watch artifact in replica watches.
