GF Factory Cartier Santos gold plated model watch review

The Cartier Santos model is produced by the leading Super Clone manufacturer workshops with a solid 316L stainless steel case, standard case diameter and Miyota 9015 high frequency 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

The dial diameter is 39.8 millimeters. 316L stainless steel case used; While only the edges of the case are finished with polished workmanship, brushed workmanship is applied to all other parts. The brushing texture and chamfer angles are exactly faithful to the original. Thanks to the gold plating, a noble and luxurious appearance emerges.

The white dial allows you to read the time clearly. There are signs with Roman numerals; The print is of very high quality, the size and thickness of the font are exactly the same as the original. The simple large three-needle design is both simple and useful. Sword-shaped blue annealed hour and minute hands are used; The middle axis of the needles also has carving work, just like the original.

Its thickness is 9.08 mm. Brushing marks are clearly and thinly visible on the side surface of the case. In the GF Factory Cartier new Santos WGSA0030 replica version, the stainless steel crown is designed in heptagonal form; The corner edges are softly processed and there is a multi-faceted sapphire stone on it. This reflects another iconic design detail of the brand. The multi-edged crown makes setting the watch extremely comfortable.

Case and Body Workmanship

The brushed stainless steel case back is secured with eight flat slotted screws. A warning to those who want to disassemble the case back: there are eight screws on the case back and there is a difference between long and short screws. The engraved inscriptions on the back of the case are clear. An ultra-thin MIYOTA9015 is used as the mechanism; Since this movement can adapt to a 9 mm case thickness, the same needle height as the original is achieved. Some friends say that the 9015 movement is loud; However, when I made a comparison, I saw that the GF Factory factory did sound insulation very well.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

GF Factory has both leather strap and steel bracelet options, you can choose whichever you like. The wearer can change the calfskin or crocodile leather straps and bracelets as he wishes. Just gently press the back of the strap or bracelet; The replacement system comes into play and the process becomes very practical. Particular mention should be made of the steel bracelet: it can be changed freely and it is extremely easy to adjust the bracelet length. In the metal bracelet with “SmartLink” technology used by GF Factory, the link insert can be removed without using any tools; You can unscrew the links by hand, it is extremely practical.
