Movement and Caliber Performance

▲Glashütte Original, as one of the leading German luxury mechanical watch brands, uses its own high-end movements in its Senator series watches, which is a definite advantage in today's competitive watch industry. The fact that it can still be mentioned with the same name as Swiss watches today shows that the power of Glashütte Original should not be underestimated. Among the complex and diverse watch models, Glashütte Senator offers a brand new visual feast to watch enthusiasts, like a breath of freshness. The replica watch industry also targeted the Glashütte Original market; There are several factories on the market producing this Glashütte model. Today we present to you a detailed comparison of this quality watch with the original FK Factory Glashütte Original Senator

▲Special note: This original watch we use for comparison is also the watch used for mold removal. Some scratches inevitably occurred during the mold removal process; However, these do not affect our comparative review, you can ignore them. No need to say much, now let's examine the configuration of FK Factory production;

Case Details and Features

[Case]: 40 mm*10 mm (thinnest in the market; thickness of other factories: 12 mm), 316L steel brushed case machined with high-end CNC workmanship, special number for each watch. [Glass]: Sapphire glass on the top and bottom. [Mechanism]: Replica of Cal.39-59 automatic winding mechanism; The basic movement is Seagull 2824. It has a white gold-plated oxidation-resistant bridge, a special goose neck system, a special rotor and a sunray pattern engraved on the inner mechanism cover. The overall mechanism workmanship and texture can rival the original. [Water resistance]: 30 kg vacuum pressure test; The first replica factory to guarantee 100% waterproofness.

▲When disassembled, it can be seen that, whether original or FK Factory production, both consist of five parts and each part is molded and replicated in a different part factory. The workmanship is so fine that it far surpasses the workmanship of all domestic brand watches; If you don't believe it, you can check it yourself. Domestic brands generally use three-piece structures to reduce costs. That's why I can't help but say this: FK is a truly reliable, well-established manufacturer.

Case and Body Workmanship

▲Dial comparison: Blue steel hour and minute hands, white dial surface; This combination inevitably attracts attention. When examined carefully, the dial covering of the FK Factory Glashütte is as thin as the original; This ensures that the numbers, texts and patterns printed on the dial are transferred securely. Under the light, the coating of the glass is exactly the same.

▲Side comparison: According to measurements, the difference in thickness between the FK Factory production and the original is only 0.5 mm. The crown has also been perfectly rebuilt; Regarding the ears on both sides, FK Factory and the original are almost exactly the same, a very good job has been done.

▲Front comparison: As for the bezel, the FK Factory production maintains the same structure as the original; You can remove it by opening the cover and turning it counterclockwise.

Dial and Hand Details

▲Dial surface comparison: Peach blossom-shaped blue steel hour and minute hands; extremely special and elegant. It is no different from the original in terms of both length and thickness; Even the small ring in the center of the hour and minute hands has been recreated with high accuracy. Rail-shaped minute markers, Roman numeral hour markers; a unique style. FK Factory has made the thickness of each hour marker, the color and spacing of the Roman numerals appropriate. It does not hesitate to show meticulousness in every detail with its perfectly compatible overprinting technique.

▲Case comparison: As we can see from the photo above, there is almost no difference between the FK manufactured case and the original; The hole positions of both are the same, the number of crown screw threads is 2 turns in both. FK's screw and crown are completely compatible with the original.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

▲Strap comparison: The material of the original strap is crocodile skin; FK Factory used Italian calf leather and its texture is very soft. Friends who seek perfection can also have a crocodile leather strap made. A simple and elegant pin buckle was used for the buckle; FK Factory has not neglected any detail, from the buckle size to the needle thickness and the polishing degree of the inner surface of the buckle. The double G symbol emphasizes the identity of the brand.

▲ Movement comparison: FK Factory cooperated with the Seagull movement factory to make a mold (not by adding bridges) and develop a replica of the original Cal.39-59 movement, overcoming many difficulties. The improvements achieved with the developed mechanism are as follows:

Case thickness is the same as the original (only 10 mm); Previously, the case thickness was 12 mm due to the thickness limit of the 2824 movement. The shock absorber balance position has been moved to the place corresponding to the 12 o'clock position, exactly the same as the original! Moreover, it is stable, works precisely and has a low failure rate! A comprehensive upgrade to the bezel, case, white gold patterned inner cover, case back and gear crown!
