Cartier Ballon Bleu Review - Front View and Case Design

The Cartier Ballon Bleu model is produced by the leading Super Clone manufacturer workshops with a solid stainless steel case, standard case diameter and 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.

Font comparison

V6's Roman numeral print is full and finely crafted; The text of the market version has no depth, its edges are irregular and burry. (In all the images below, the order is as follows: V6 Factory at the top, original in the middle, market version at the bottom.)

V6 uses imported ink in printing: the logo text in the middle is clear, full and the edges are smooth; It is almost no different from the original. The text of the newest version of the market (hereinafter simply "market") is blurrier, flatter and burrier; The difference from the original is big.

Hidden logo at position 7

The V6 is approximately 90 percent similar to the original; In the market version, there are many sand holes and the shortcomings of the text are obvious.

The guilloche engraving pattern on the silver-plated dial of the V6 is clear and very close to the original; The dial bottom pattern of the market version is not smooth and its difference from the original is obvious.

There is no need to say much about the SWISS MADE text at position 6; I leave its evaluation to your eyes.

Comparison of hour and minute hands

The differences in terms of both form and color are quite obvious; We call the sword-shaped blue steel hour and minute hands "burning blue hands" and this is the crucial detail of the watch. The needle colors of the three products are very close to each other; However, the hour and minute hands of the market version have a more rounded sword tip, which is a big difference from the original - this is a very obvious defect.

Crown stone comparison

The transparency of V6's stone is close to the original; It reflects a deep blue glow. The market version is dark and matte like ink. The shape of the stone is full and round like the original in V6; In the market version, it is irregular.

Crescent-shaped glass bevel

In visual comparison, the market version is noticeably larger than the V6 and the original. V6's craftsmanship ensures that all crescent shapes are consistent with each other in size and height.

Buckle comparison

All three products are processed very carefully. In terms of color, the V6 buckle is closer to the original because it uses the polishing process of the original. In terms of logo detail, both products are slightly behind the original.

We see the quality in the little details: the V6 has the same single-shoulder spring bar custom made as the original; The market version has an ordinary spring bar. The V6 is really on point when it comes to detail.

Even though the spring rod is a small part inside the watch, V6 has given importance to it to achieve perfection; This is admirable. After all, he is a veteran of the replica world.

Case back screw comparison

The diameter and length of the V6's screws are the same as the original, and they can be used interchangeably. The screws of the market version are thicker in diameter, longer and the screw head is thicker.

Thickness comparison

Using the same NH05 mechanism, the V6's case is 0.82 mm thinner than the market version. (Note: The thickness of the latest 7K version of V6 is the same as the original.)

The three products are very similar; In the market version with V6, the text depth is slightly shallower.

One last point that surprised me a bit: the serial number (code) of the product. Strictly speaking, the first six digits need to change; However, the market mistook the product model number, which never changes, like the "3489" at the end, for the serial number. I'm sorry, but even someone who doesn't know anything about business can distinguish between real and fake.

Final evaluation: As a well-established factory, V6 easily surpasses the versions of other factories on the market in quality control and detail workmanship.
