How to distinguish AF Factory Cartier Ballon Bleu 076 movement from Japanese movement?

The Cartier Ballon Bleu model is produced by AF Factory with a solid stainless steel case, standard case diameter and high-precision automatic Super Clone movement architecture. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.


Dial and Hand Details
First, let's look at the dial. AF on the left, original on the right. The patterns in the center of the dial are more distinct and deeper in the original watch.


Second, the circle in the center of the dial looks slightly larger than the original.

Third, the blue on the hour and minute hands shows a slight color difference when viewed from different angles.

In the replica, the Cabochon Blue Sapphire is thicker.


At 7:00 o'clock, the "CARTIER" print on the replica is thinner.

On the case back, the "Cartier" engraving is thicker on the original.
If you look carefully you can find other differences. But replica watches can never be made exactly the same as the original, this is the truth.
In my memory AF Cartier Ballon Bleu shouldn't have so many flaws. Some people in the market said that the first owner of AR sold the factory to someone else. The new boss decided to sell the watches cheaper; Of course, as a result, the quality has decreased slightly.
