APS Factory Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Moon Phase Series 1368430 Black Dial Review

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Wristwatch model is produced by APS Factory with a solid 904L 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.

Therefore, there is a certain know-how in APS Factory Jaeger-LeCoultre Master production that can make the exterior look closer to the original. First of all, let's talk about this Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Moon Phase model produced by APS Factory. The original product uses 904L stainless steel, APS Factory also used 904L in the same way. Therefore, in terms of appearance, the issue of whether there is a color difference as in K gold watches does not arise. Secondly, there is no need to worry about the weight difference. This is one of the reasons why some watch enthusiasts prefer to buy stainless steel replica watches. As for the reflection angle that occurs in the processing of the exterior, APS Factory has again taken the processing to the highest level by using high polishing workmanship; The feeling when worn in the hand can still reflect smoothness.

Secondly, there aren't really many brand options on the market when it comes to classic watches to choose from; Of course, provided that you can do the job well and make it close to the original. The entire white dial can be seen behind the high-transparency sapphire glass lens. You know what they say, if there is black, choose black, if there is white, choose white; This saying actually tells us that solid color dials do not cause color difference problems in the replica market, so there is no need to worry about the problem of a dial that looks fake at first glance. Therefore, the dial of the APS Factory Jaeger-LeCoultre Master replica can be compared to the original in standard form, without color difference. The hour markers have a predominantly fine texture; The metal markings have been processed and polished, and the polish of the three cutting surfaces on the latest model of the original has been preserved, matching the original detail.

Afterwards, there is the replica Jaeger-LeCoultre logo and printing letters below the 12-hour position. As can be seen from the dial surface, the overall integrity of the print gives the same effect as the original; There is no flaw such as interruption even in the curvature of the English letters. The hour and minute hands and the center shaft are also predominantly finely machined. In fact, most of the classic watches are elegant in style, they do not give a rude feeling; Therefore, they are very difficult to process in terms of labor. In the two-tone solid hour and minute hands, the length of the blue minute hand reaches the flat upper edge of the hour markers, not exceeding the border of the markers; This is the situation that corresponds to the original. If it went over the top of the marks, on the contrary, it would look even more fake at first glance.

The third part is probably the moon phase indicator that watch enthusiasts are most curious about. First of all, when I individually compared it with the original's moon phase display, I clearly saw that there was no problem with the printing of the Arabic numerals from 1 to 31 on the moon display. The flaw in this moon phase is that there is some color difference in the sun-moon-star composition of the moon. While the moon in the original product is whiter, the moon made by APS Factory Jaeger-LeCoultre is a bit greyish; Also, the color tone of the stars in the blue part is darker than the original. In other words, in this section, which is the most important part of the dial, APS Factory could not achieve closeness to the original; There is no problem with the other hour signs and hour and minute hands. This point can only be solved in the future by a version upgrade or by modifying the moon phase dial.

Watch enthusiasts who are preparing to buy this APS Factory Moon Phase Master model are actually looking forward to the fun and eye-catching aspect of this sun-moon-star theme. However, I personally think it's a bit of a shame for this white dial; It still hasn't reached a level close to the original. If APS Factory makes the relevant improvements and upgrades to the V2 version in line with the feedback of watch enthusiasts and comments of reviewers in the future, I believe that there will still be watch enthusiasts who will pay for it.

There is a separate adjustment crown on the right side; The setting method is also quite simple. However, we can see two button designs on both sides of the case; These two buttons need to be pressed with a needle to adjust the moon phase and moon display, the operation is relatively simple. It's not a complicated function like most moon phase functions are set up. To realize the moon phase and moon indicator functions, the APS Factory Jaeger-LeCoultre Master uses the one-piece Cal.925 movement. Long-term tests have proven this mechanism to be reliable. At the same time, the advantage of the one-piece movement is that it effectively brings the transparency of the rear-view transparent case back closer to the original; Thus, the realism of the overall structure and rotor increases.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

Strap calfskin. Replica Jaeger-LeCoultre does not come with an alligator strap; but you can later buy a crocodile strap yourself, which can add to the luxury vibe. Also, calfskin is a little hard, while crocodile leather is softer; Comfort during use is also better. For this APS Factory Jaeger-LeCoultre, I personally think the workmanship is not bad from various angles; Only the moon phase part did not reach close enough. I don't expect it to be exactly the same, but if it can get close to 95 percent, it will be enough.

I hope this article will be useful to you. We will share more detailed teardowns, live-action reviews and real-replica comparisons in the future.
