Longines AF Factory Review

The Longines Wristwatch model is produced by AF Factory with a solid stainless steel case, 40 mm diameter and a high-precision automatic Super Clone mechanism 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.

The Master Collection is not your only option for buying a Longines watch; There is also the Conquest Classic series. What this episode brings you from the world of watches is a real-replica comparison review of the AF Factory Longines Conquest Classic replica watch, which is Eddie Peng's choice. Let's see if the replica version is so successful that it is indistinguishable from the real thing, and is it worth buying?

The Longines Conquest Classic series is the new model of 2018 and one of the rare 40 mm classic watches from Longines. Many watch enthusiasts say they are confused by looking at sites like Chrono24 and thinking that the Conquest Classic series is 38.5mm; but actually it is not like that. The Conquest Classic men's model comes in two sizes: one 38.5mm and the other 40mm. Below is how the AF Factory Conquest Classic series compares to the original:

AF Conquest Classic's size is exactly the same as the original; The hour markers are the same, and the color of the hour and minute hands is the same. In addition, the processing and structure of the steel bracelet are also the same; In general, no difference is noticeable.

Looking at the photo above, there is no difference in the transparency of the glass. In fact, transparency tests not only whether sapphire glass is used, but more importantly, the high-resolution coating of sapphire glass; coating has a radical effect on transparency!

Let's compare the dials. First, let's compare the shape and color of the hour and minute hands. The hour and minute hands of both have exactly the same shape and length; The texture of the blue tempered steel and the shine it reflects are also the same. Also, when we compare the font and size of the Roman numeral hour markers, they are both the same. In addition, Longines' English logo and the wing logo underneath are the same; The font and letter spacing of the "automatic" text and the English letters below it are the same. A model that I consider to be a perfect replica, no less than the KZ Factory Master Collection from Longines!

Comparing the thickness of the two watches, they are exactly the same! Additionally, the size of the crown and the engraving on it are exactly the same. The brushed texture on one side of the case is also the same.

We dismantled the three-piece assembly of the original and the AF's crown: they are interchangeable. The hour and minute hands are set in blue guilloche steel; There is no deviation in length and size. When we examine the dial, AF Factory displays extremely fine workmanship on the dial surface; Whether it is the color, the base texture of the dial, the date font and window shape, the hour markers and numeral hour displays, they are all exactly the same as the original. The numbers on the dial of this Conquest Classic model we reviewed are Roman numerals; There is no difference in size and thickness in the Arabic numeral version of the same model. On the blue guilloche hour and minute hands, AF Factory has revised the patterns many times; The shape, size, length and central axis of the hour and minute hands are very close to the original.

The case back can be used compatible with the original factory product; In terms of the engraving and curvature of the case back, AF Factory can achieve the same level as the original.

The Sea-Gull 2892 movement was converted into Longines' own L888.4 movement. The position of the balance wheel is the same as the original. Even the feeling and direction when setting the date and moving the hour and minute hands are compatible with the original.

Extremely high quality steel bracelet with the same brushed and polished finish as the original! Extremely comfortable when worn! It is especially suitable for ergonomics! There's also an elegant, imported calfskin option!

Summary: Overall, this AF replica was extremely successful.

Thanks for watching.
