Photo Review of Replica Rolex YachtMaster II 116680

Rolex Yacht Master II Blue Replica

Rolex Yacht Master II Blue Bezel

Rolex Yacht Master II White Dial

Compared with the latest YachtMaster II Rolex has released in recent years, I still like this one, the YachtMaster II 116680, it is the most expensive one among all Rolex stainless steel models. Stainless steel case, coupled with blue bezel and details on dial, making the watch look clean and fresh. Rolex YachtMaster II was specially designed for yachting sport, so their dial is unique and has countdown feature. Blue bezel, stainless steel bracelet and red hands, I think they have become three necessary characteristics for YachtMaster since its born, today, modern YachtMaster watches such as 116622 and 116655 have lost these classic features and charm, although they are made of better material and being equipped with superior movement.

The watch presented here is Rolex YachtMaster II 116680 replica. The classic YachtMaster watch with blue detail and steel bracelet. 116680 replica is made of 316L stainless steel, this type of steel material is used on most replica watches and even on some genuine Swiss brand watches. Case is measured to be 44mm in diameter, it is an oversized YachtMaster case, compared with 40mm of Ref. 116655, I like 44mm more, besides, these new YachtMaster II watches, including 116655 and 116622, seems to have abandoned the sports features and look to be more casual. The bezel uses blue ceramic and has white printings. White dial is full of blue details, central second hand is in red, the small hand with a red triangle pointing at 10 is fixed, it does not work. Subdial at 6 o’clock is for date display. All hour markers are in square box shape, they have blue edge and are applied white luminous material on the center, matching with blue bezel, the whole watch is full of deep ocean style.

The replica is equipped with an Asian clone ETA 2813 movement, so it does not have counterdown feature like genuine YachtMaster 116680. But the replica could be installed a valjoux 7750 movement, to become a watch with chronograph function. The bracelet is made of solid 316L stainless steel, links at both sides are brushed, while the central links are polished, this bracelet design forms a perfect visual impact and gives the wearer a good touch feeling. When wearing on my hand, the 44mm is very suitable for my wrist but the bracelet is a little longer, so I have to remove some links, it feels heavy and stainless steel bracelet is really good for summer. It is a good idean to wear this watch with your blue or white shirt.

J12 Factory Published Replica Audemars Piguet LeBron James Limited Edition Watch

The watch here I am going to discuss is the most expensive replica Audemars Piguet watch currently, some websites online are selling this replica at a sky high price, even much more expensive than AP Michael Schumacher.

The replica is manufactured by J12 factory, they put a lot of effort in replicating this model.

The theme of AP LeBron James replica is blue and grey color, 316L stainless steel case is plated with rose gold, the bezel is Cermet, which is made of ceramic and metallic material.

Audemars Piguet LeBron James Replica

Cermet bezel is harder than general stainless steel. The case is a little different from other AP watches because its lugs are raised. The sunken case part is sand blasted, which gives a very refined touch feeling, the raised part is draw processed with polished edge. This type of case was only used on Audemars Piguet Schwarzenegger Limited Edition before, and the case design of AP LeBron James replica has more visual impact and layered feeling, which looks fresh.

AP James Case

Advanced rubber strap, there are air through holes on the band, very suitable to be worn in hot summer.

AP LeBron James Rubber Strap

The watch will be shipped with one free pair of leather straps.

The case back also uses refined sand blasted workmanship, the screws look better.

Brand-new clone 3126 movement, with perfect polishing, it represents the highest imitation level.

The button is ceramic, it consists of spring, button and tube.

LeBron James Chrono Buttons

The chrono start button is embeded with 14 pieces of diamonds, to differentiate it from reset button.

The subdials have rose gold edge.

It is not a diver’s watch, the lume effect is just so so.

Rep AP 26470ST Safari Watch Review

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26470ST.OO.A801CR.01 by JF, the dial is very beautiful, it is in cream color. Sub dials and Tachymeter bezel are in chocolate tone, so sometimes we call it “Audemars Piguet Chocolate”.

Audemars Piguet Safari Replica

The crystal uses sapphire, it has anti-reflective coating on inner face. Like other AP watches, the crystal is clear and gives a super good visual effect.

AP Crystal

100% same as genuine, crown and chronograph buttons use ceramic, their edges are chamfer processed.

AP Ceramic Buttons

AP Ceramic Buttons 2

The magnifier above date window also features anti-reflective coating, which is very close to genuine.

Date Window

The dial is perfect, I think it has beyond the replication of 15703. All hour markers have correct position and proportion. However, if you observe the date window carefully, its position is a little wrong and goes too right off center. This is limited to the movement, it can not be done to be 100% the same as genuine.

Date Window Position

This replica Safari has been upgraded, because the date window of previous version has a deep brown background, which is different from genuine’s black. Now, this replica finally solved this defect.

Date Window Black Background

Dial details. Numeral hour markers are 3D and filled with chocolate luminescence. However, the lume effect is not very obvious. Chronograph subdials have drawing-processed circles with brushed face. Safari and 15703 have checkered dial, but the grids on Safari’s dial does not have fiber patterns. Second-chronograph hand is plated with glaze.

Safari Dial

AP Brown Leather Strap

Band uses embossed leather with crocodile patterns, it is thick and hard. There is raised crocodile coccyx on each strap. White hand stitching brings impact visual effect, and is also full of retro atmosphere.

Crocodile Pattern on AP Band

The inside of the bank is litchi pattern embossed cow leather, very soft and comfortable.

AP Leather Strap Inside

The design of AP is really perfect, bent lugs could fit your wrist in a very comfortable way.

AP Safari on Wrist

AP Logo on Buckle

Brown leather band is just matching the chocolate subdials and tachymeter bezel.

Brown Leather Strap

J12 made a great effort on polishing their Audemars Piguet replica watches, like this one. The bezel of Safari is thicker than that of 15703.

AP Safari Bezel

Conclusion: AP Safari Chocolate replica is a great watch with refined craftmanship, it should belong to the high-end replica in our market. This replica has a better finish than 15703 and closer to genuine. The AP Safari replica I am talking here is equipped with an Asian 7750 movement, not the latest Clone 3126 movement made by J12 factory. However, J12 has upgraded all Audemars Piguet replica watches with 3126 movement, and the price is not very high.

Replica Perrelet Turbine XL Watch Review

Perrelet Turbine XL Replica

Perrelet is an old Swiss watch brand that started from 1777, the first automatic watch in the world was invented by Perrelet, whose founder is Abraham-Louis Perrelet. Perrelet was the greatest watch manufacturer at that time. The watches made by Perrelet combine their unique features and advanced modern watch-making technology.

Perrelet Turbine Watch

The latest Turbine series was born in 2009, this new model features a special dial that is decorated with turbine blades, that’s the reason why we call it Perrelet Turbine.

Perrelet PVD Black Case

Today, the replica is a 100% exact imitation of genuine Perrelet Turbine, with a 48mm case that is made of 316L stainless steel and plated with black pvd. The watch even looks bigger than Rolex Submariner and Panerai Luminor. It is also very thick, almost 16mm. Besides the four white stainless steel lugs, the other case parts are all pvd black bezel. There are six paws fixed on the case to make the watch look stronger, especially the two that connect case and band, they make the brand never broken away from the case.

Perrelet Black Rubber Strap

Many readers who want to buy replica watches here want me to tell the difference between these replicas and genuine watches, yes, I want to tell you these difference, but I am not able to, first, I do not have too many genuine watches on hand, the only one is my Rolex 116610 LN, second, if you have a genuine watch, the best way I suggest you to tell the flaws is to check the replica dial. Like this replica Perrelet Turbine watch, although it has many turbine blades decorated on dial, it can not be made 100% the same as original. Central second hand is very obvious in bright red color, which is pointing to those red minute scales on inner bezel. Actually I do not think this replica has too many advantages besides its unique dial design.

Perrelet ETA 2813 Movement

However, the movement inside the replica is very common, it is used on most replica watches, we call it Asian 2813 because the factory used a Chinese Automatic movement to replicate to make it look like genuine ETA 2813. I have to say that if you are really interested in this replica, I suggest you spend extra money to help it to be installed a genuine ETA movement, this won’t cost you too much, our watch factory in the market could do this for you. After the replica movement being replaced, this replica watch could be really called 1:1, which means that all watch components on this replica could be interchanged with genuine Perrelet.

Special Edition Paneristi PAM 360 Replica – For Real Panerai Watch Fans

It has been a long while for me not to give personal reviews about replica watches, so today, I will continue my work and talk an old PAM here with you guys.

PAM 360, which is a special edition Panerai made for Paneristi, was introduced in 2010. Paneristi.com is a community of all things about Panerai, 2010 is exactly the 10th anniversary of Paneristi, so Panerai specially released PAM 360 to celebrate this special moment.

The earliest Panerai Paneristi PAM 360 replica is produced by Noob factory in 2011. This watch, together with PAM 111 and 005, raised a storm at that time, because it is the first time for PAM to be equipped with a high quality ETA 6497 movement.

Here the PAM 360 replica watch we talk has already have all advantages and advanced watch-making technology that could only be found on modern PAM replicas. For example, 44mm case uses DLC process, and then finished with sandblasted craft, the case, bezel and crown bridge are all processed by black DLC, they have the same tone and brightness as genuine case. The sandblasted finishing is done evenly. There are deep engravings on steel case back, “PANERISTI.COM” and “TENTH ANNIVERSARY” differentiate 360 from other Panerai watches.

The dial has been upgraded with new vintage hands, those raised hour markers are applied original SuperLuminova like hands. This is a very simple PAM because it does not have second hand. At 12 o’clock, there are printing of “LUMINOR PANERAI”, an unique OP Logo is printed at 6 o’clock, this logo only appeared on some vintage Panerai watches. In the dark, you will see that the dial emits a strong green light, Noob factory just used 100% SuperLume material to achieve the Patina color, and the lume will also last as long as genuine.

PAM 360 is one of the best 1:1 replica Panerais, the ETA 6497 equipped makes it has a better accuracy and stability than other PAMs. What makes the watch to wear comfortable is the rubber strap it is fitted, the watch band has “OFFICINE PANERAI” logo on, it not only feels comfortable and soft, the anti-dust rubber band will not deform after a long time of wearing.

Conclusion: it is an entry-level PAM for people who love vintage Panerai watches. A very simple replica but has already used the most advanced watch-making process and hi-end movement. Its quality will never make you regret.

The Best Moon Phase Watch – Replica Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Q1368420

Since the usage of Miyota movement on replica watches, a variety of legendary good feedbacks were put on this excellent movement, many users said that the watch did not need any repairing or after sales service after using this movement. However, whether it is Miyota 82 series or Miyota 9015 movement, they only support basic timing and date functions, but Miyota manufacturer left a lot of room for movement modification, so you can modify the movement to achieve any functions you want. Here is an example that occured on a replica Jaeger LeCoultre watch.

The replica is Jaeger LeCoultre Q1368420, and the movement Miyota 9015 has been modified to make the watch have moon phase function. The factory not only reserved hour, minute and seconds display, they also modified the date display function, which was moved to the 6 o’clock position and displayed by a small hand, the moon phase was also added. So, the watch master completed all functions of genuine Jaeger LeCoultre Q1368420.

The Miyota 9015 movement with moon phase function was not modified by Citizen Miyota Co., Ltd, this projected was completed by one of our replica watch manufacturer. After modification, the movement not only inherited the excellent features of high stability and ultra thin, but also made the Miyota 9015 more beautiful. Especially being adjusted by the factory, its daily error will not exceed 10 seconds.

About other specifications of the watch, it is like other dress watches that have a clean and fresh face. The case is polished stainless steel in 39mm, black leather strap, coupled with white dial, a very classic match. The hour markers on silver white dial are in raised triangle shape, central hands are in silver that are matching silver markers except the blued-steel second hand. In a word, this replica could be bought as a great alternative of Jaeger LeCoultre moon phase watch, it will match any type of your business suits.

Watch Repairing

A small tip

It seems to be the first post about watch repairing in my blog, I have prepared a lot of document materials about this field before, but still felt that such things should be talked by professionals rather than me – a beginner. Watch repairing usually needs a lot tools and experience, but I am a blank paper in this aera so I never wrote watch maintenance articles in this blog.

Today, one of my clients told me that the clasp of his newly bought Datejust watch easily open, so here I taught him a simple method to solve this problem.

Steel Rolex Buckle

Rolex Clasp Unfolding

We can clearly see that his clasp looks a little unusual, so that it will easily open even by a gentle touch.

Clasp Close View

Rolex Clasp Structure

It is easy to fix this, hold the right part of the clasp with your fingers, and then bend it upwards a little.

Bend Clasp

Clasp Done

Ok, it is done. This repairing method is suitable to be used on any types of deployant clasp, whether your watch is a replica or genuine, you can use this method to fix. This is related to the properties of metal material, it is not a quality problem.

From today, I will spend several days to write some recommendation reviews to help you guys to choose the best one in these top lists, which include top 5 diver’s watches and top 5 dress watches I will introduce in the following two posts. Today, the top 5 hot sale diver’s watches come first, in this article, I will give a short introduction of each watch, you can choose the one that mostly fits your style.

Rolex Submariner 116610 LN V6s

116610 Sub Replica

Rolex is the best-selling watch in the world and Submariner is the most popular series. In Guangzhou watch market, Rolex is the brand which factories mostly love to replicate. 116610 LN Black Submariner has always been the object of each factory. Ultil now, there are basically 3 factories having manufactured Rolex 116610 LN, they are BP, Noob and J12, certainly the best edition is from Noob, which is going to release V7. So, V6s on the picture is currently the best one. From case polishing, dial detials and movement, Noob 116610 LN V6s do the best, you can choose ETA 2836 and Super 3135 to be installed.

AP Diver 15703

AP Diver Replica

Audemars Piguet Diver 15703 has a large amount of sales in diver’s watches. Every one in the watch forum will recommend you 15703 when you are searching for a good diver’s watch. Its extremely thick case can resist shock and you do not need to worry it will be broken during shipping. Besides, the movement inside 15703 is Sea-gull 2824 that owns a low repairing rate. Currently 15703 is replicated by Noob, H and J12 factories, but I still recommend Noob version, whose stability and accuracy have been tested by our wearers.

Omega Planet Ocean

Omega Planet Ocean Replica

Besides our best seller Spectre, Planet Ocean is the hottest Omega diver’s model. BP, Noob and KW all make this watch, I will recommend BP version this time. BP Planet Ocean has a better movement stability. 42mm case diameter makes Planet Ocean more suitable than other diver’s watches. Black ceramic bezel will not fade if you did not scratch it. By the way, BP Planet Ocean uses clone 8500 calibre, its movement plates and auto rotor are decorated perfectly, from the see-through crystal back, the fake movement looks the same as genuine.

Tudor Black Bay

Tudor Black Bay Replica

The Black Bay is the earliest Tudor replica released in our market. ZF made the best version and Tudor Black Bay indeed raised a storm in watch market in 2014 after it was released. Some people buy it because of its charming red bezel, some buy it because the Sea-gull 2824 is very stable and accurate. I have worn one Tudor Black Bay to the boutique and compare it with genuine, all details of ZF Tudor Black Bay looks the same as original, even the watch expert there can not tell it as a fake.

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Replica

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms replica has the highest price among this top 5 watches list. Made by Noob, Blancpain Fifty Fathoms features a sapphire crystal bezel, that’s the biggest difference between it and other brand watches. The bezel markers and hour markers as well as hands all use original Swiss Superlume material, so the watch will emit a strong green light in the dark.

Ok, the articles above give a sumarry of top 5 best-selling diver’s watches, which one is the best style you want to own?

I got two PAM 111 today

Today, I got two Panerai watches on hand, they were bought by my clients and both of them are PAM 111, but made by different factories. One is made by Noob and the other is by KW, here I call the former n111 and latter kw111. Many people are obsessed with the difference between them, but I have to say that they are all perfect, the main difference I think is n111 has a higher recognition because the factory made a successful marketing promotion. Here I took some photos to describe some tiny difference between them.

Noob uses a small plastic bag and the watch is folding, KW is put in a longer bag.

PAM 111 Package

PAM 111 Case Pack

The color and material of case cover are different, Noob is hard gray rubber case, while KW is milky white silica cover.

Case Package

The band of Noob is darker than that of KW.

Leather Strap Color

The case back film of KW has a blue corner, while Noob uses transparent film on back.

Case Back Film

The dial font on KW PAM 111 is brighter than that of Noob.

PAM 111 Dial

Crystal. On the two photos below, the first one is Noob. You can clearly see that Noob PAM 111 has a blue film on crystal, while KW does not have.

Noob PAM 111

KW PAM 111

The left one is KW 111, right watch is Noob 111. Noob does better in movement polishing. Besides, the engravings on case back outer ring are more clear on KW.

Movement Polishing

Check the two photos below. The top one is KW 111 case back. The engraving “BB 1401554” on both watches is completely different. KW’s is better.

KW Case Back Engraving

Noob Back Engraving

The color of “OFFICINE PANERAI” on movement plate looks a brighter blue on KW PAM 111.

Movement Plate Engraving on N111

Blue OFFICINE PANERAI

Although two PAM 111 are all in high quality, there are still a lot of differences between them especially when you are taking a closer look at both, holding them to observe carefully. However, each watch has their advantages and disadvantages, every factory here has their own ideas to replicate one watch that could not be done 100% the same as genuine.
