GF Factory Bvlgari Diagono Series (Pink Dial) Wristwatch Review

Bvlgari Diagono series wristwatch continues the brand's bold approach to innovation, transcending the rigid patterns of traditional design and presenting the beauty of classic and modern together. Many new materials are used in the case, such as magnesium, PEEK resin and ceramics; The watch was produced with a "hard" approach from start to finish. GF, a newly rising factory, has always maintained its craftsman spirit, constantly improving itself and being open to innovation. His first Breitling Blackbird was highly appreciated in the industry with its superior workmanship and distinctive assertive appearance; This enabled GF Factory to gain a solid foothold in the replica world. The ingenious workmanship of the Glashütte Senator and Breitling Avenger II models he later released gained the appreciation of the industry. This time, GF is taking on a new brand, Bvlgari Diagono.

Case and Body Workmanship

The black case edge is made of PEEK resin (polyether ether ketone). Polyether ether ketone is actually a high temperature resistant plastic. This case is coated with paint and resin to ensure its durability.

Dial and Hand Details

Spray painted dial surface is used on the dial part. Motorlac gloss varnish, a type of baking paint, was preferred as the material. You can compare the spray painting work of the dial to painting a mobile phone. There is no color difference between the GF dial and the original; The sandblasting effect is also extremely successful. It's really not easy to capture this feeling of depth without having the formula of the original.

Both the hour and minute hands and the metal numerals have a brushed effect, just like the original. The printing of the white numbers is very smooth, the writings are evenly distributed. The layered look is extremely good.

Movement and Caliber Performance

The movement is the Citizen 9015, which we all know well. So why was this movement preferred? Because the biggest advantage of this mechanism is its thinness; Also, its stability is not bad either. Since the total thickness of the watch is around 9 mm, there don't seem to be many options other than this ultra-thin mechanism.

Bvlgari's own design was used in the rotor. Since the whole watch is very thin, the space that can be filled inside is really little; That's why the rotor generally used is very thin and the gap between it and the mechanism bridge is extremely small. This poses a problem during assembly: the rotor may come into contact with the case back or bridge during installation and may make noise during use. For example, this watch we disassembled also had this assembly problem. Therefore, we pay special attention to this issue before shipment; If there is a sound, it is necessary to open the watch and adjust the gap where the rotor comes into contact with other metals.

The black piece at the top of the crown is made of ceramic material. GF is exactly the same as the original in terms of both materials and general form; He didn't miss even the smallest detail.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

Black vulcanized rubber is used on the strap. The workmanship is quite good in terms of the width of the replica strap and the size of the holes, it is almost the same as the original. Extremely comfortable when worn. If you wear a quality rubber strap, I am sure you will never like watches with steel bracelets again.

There is a "BVLGARI" logo on the pin buckle type strap. The size of the buckle is also reproduced 1:1 exactly, it is difficult to distinguish it from the real thing! They can easily be used interchangeably.

Summary: GF Factory has reproduced this Bvlgari model perfectly in both material and form details. His care is clearly seen in the comparisons; A true work of craft. If you want to increase your personal appeal, choose the Bvlgari Diagono wristwatch!
