AR Factory Rolex Daytona and N Factory 4130 movement replica: Which is better? Comparative review with the original

The Rolex Daytona model is produced by Noob Factory with a solid 904L stainless steel case, standard case diameter and 7750 automatic chronograph 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

Chronograph watches have always represented a second option, a second style of use, a second attraction for men in the watch world. The Daytona Cosmograph also has plenty of racing elements; The scale ring on the outer perimeter is actually a speedometer. With the Daytona series, you can measure the speed of a moving car.

The Rolex Daytona series is a Cosmograph type watch; You will mostly see secondary dials and chronograph hands on the dial. The Submariner series is a model with three central hands and a date; It is more simple and unpretentious in structure. Among chronograph watches, I think Rolex is the most enjoyable; The usage style is also very diverse, after all, Rolex's atmosphere is not in vain.

N Factory has been pretty quiet in the replica watch world for the last two years; However, last year it started to release ambitious products. Let me put it bluntly, it is again aimed directly at Rolex; The top version of the Rolex Submariner is also produced by N Factory.

It is important to know that in the world of replicas, the Rolex Daytona was initially produced by small factories such as JH Factory and BP Factory. Chronograph watches in the replica world generally carry the 7750 movement, and these were the top version at that time when there was no better version.

After the N Factory V7 version, VR Factory's Rolex Submariner and AR Factory's Rolex Submariner were released. In the first half of last year, VR Factory's Rolex Submariner series was relatively better than the N Factory V7 version. Afterwards, N Factory updated the version and made an emerald green ceramic bezel. The easiest colors to make in the watch world are black and white; It is necessary to adjust the color of colored dials such as blue and green, and this adjustment is quite difficult. After all, there is some transition in the dial color, fine workmanship requires some effort. After the N Factory V8 version 904L steel Submariner was released, AR Factory also started to produce the Submariner series and compete with N Factory. It truly deserves to be the senior factory of the replica world; Popular models are always competed on the basis of N Factory. We will talk about the Submariner again with watch friends in a future article; Let's continue the Daytona series in this article.

Currently, the most popular versions of the Daytona series in the replica world belong to AR Factory and N Factory. AR Factory and N Factory virtually dominate their own fields in the market; Compared to these two factories, the Daytona series of other factories is quite weak. When there is comparison, the wound opens, but progress can only be made through comparison; What is needed most to do the job better and better in the replica world is comparison and that 'wound'. N Factory's Daytona series has two movement versions: the version with the 7750 movement and the version with the replica 4130 movement. Since it is a closed case back watch, many factories producing the Daytona use the stable 7750 movement; However, when comparing the external appearance with the same mechanism, N Factory is naturally one step ahead. When you wear the closed case back model on your wrist, others cannot distinguish it from the real one based on its external appearance. Another is the N Factory Rolex Daytona series with replica 4130 movement; The top version with 904L steel material.

Case and Body Workmanship

In fact, in my opinion, the top version Rolex Daytona series in the replica world is N Factory's 904L steel model with 4130 replica movement. But watch lovers have also heard some things about AR Factory's Rolex Daytona series. Below, I will tell all watch lovers where the two factories differ in the Daytona series and which factory's Daytona is the most worth buying. N Factory Rolex Daytona and AR Factory Rolex Daytona have both steel bracelet and rubber and leather strap options. In material selection, both factories use 904L steel. In external appearance, the thickness of AR Factory is slightly thinner, while N Factory is relatively thicker; but compared to the dimensions of the original, N Factory is closer to the thickness of the original.

The above were some similarities and differences in appearance of the Daytona series of the two factories. Now let me explain the essence of the matter to watch lovers: Where do the Daytona of the two factories differ the most in terms of the movement and the internal structure of the watch? The biggest difference between N Factory's Daytona and the AR Factory Daytona is in function and mechanism. In terms of functionality, N Factory offers all the functions of the original; It can be said that AR Factory's Daytona both fits all the functions of the original and does not. In the chronograph function, the two on the left and right of AR Factory's three subdials cannot be used. One of the secondary dials on the right and left counts minutes, the other counts hours; These two secondary dials do not work. In fact, these two secondary dials start to work normally only when the chronograph function is activated. I said that these two secondary dials cannot be used, but the three buttons of AR Factory's Rolex Daytona series can be used, and the chronograph hand can also move. Even though it moves, let me point out that when the chronograph works, the minute and hour count dials do not move. In summary, if you do not care about the chronograph function of the Daytona series and think that you do not need this function, you can choose AR Factory's Daytona series; The price is also slightly lower than N Factory's. AR Factory has slimmed down the Daytona series, but sacrificed the chronograph function that the watch should have. N Factory offers all the functions of the original for exact use.

Movement and Caliber Performance

(The above are real shot images and mechanism details of the AR Factory model)

The Rolex Daytona series with N Factory 4130 replica movement carries the in-house production replica Cal.4130 movement, which has the same movement structure and functions as the original. AR Factory, on the other hand, uses the 7750's in-house Cal.4130 movement, which has been modified compared to the original. While N Factory carries a completely new, one-piece replica movement; AR Factory uses a modified bridge mechanism for the Shanghai 7750 chronograph movement, and its thickness is almost exactly the same as the original. The coating on the mechanism is not done to deceive the consumer, but to get infinitely closer to the original as possible; There are golden stone slots on it, and the texture of the pigeon blood-colored stones is extremely strong. I need to remind you that AR has removed the movement bridge of the chronograph function in order to increase the performance stability of the movement and reduce its thickness; so the chronograph function cannot be used, only the chronograph second hand can move.

(The above is AR Factory's detail comparison with the original)

In conclusion, N Factory is undoubtedly the ultimate replica version Daytona series. However, the price of this ambitious Daytona series from N Factory is also slightly higher than that of AR Factory. If your budget is limited and you don't care much about the chronograph function, I think AR Factory's ultra-thin Daytona series can also be considered; After all, its stability isn't bad either, and its closed caseback appearance is completely indistinguishable from the real thing unless you use the chronograph function. As an emotional salesman, I still can't stomach AR Factory sacrificing the chronograph function of the watch and making it thinner. My personal advice is this: if you're a true Daytona fan, it's definitely worth going a little harder and getting the top version for the model you like. Struggling is to get what you want; Besides, the journey is tiring, so don't forget to reward yourself.

A person must have a passion; Dealing with something, nurturing something is always like this. Struggling is to have the things you love; Struggling and striving is to make yourself better and better. The process is not easy, you should reward yourself once in a while. It cannot be said that the person who says 'expensive' does not have money, nor can it be said that the person who buys it with peace of mind is rich; they just love themselves to different degrees. High-end replica watches; It is a matter of reputation, it is a matter of quality, it is a matter of commerce and it is a matter of establishing watch friendships.
