[GF top segment new product]Longines Master Collection moon phase 40 mm watch is equipped with replica L899.5 integrated movement.

1. Automatic rotor with a single real bearing, identical to the version (attention: this bearing is not gluing; please do not disassemble arbitrarily if there are no tools specific to the Longines mechanism)!

How should the GF Factory Longines moon universe be used correctly?

I can say that for any watch, as long as it is of good quality, the personal use method is also extremely important. The biggest functional point of this watch is the moon phase; There is a round moon phase indicator and date display at the 6 position, which adds an elegant atmosphere to the watch. The special version L899 automatic winding mechanism is used as the mechanism and it performs all the functions of the original perfectly. When setting the watch, you adjust the date and moon phase via the crown on the right. When setting the moon phase and date, you must follow the watch's instructions; In fact, this method is valid for all watches, including the original! Because as the moon phases or the date rotates, especially when the date skips, the gears inside the mechanism rotate and interlock with each other. Let's say you forcefully set the date and moon phase; I'll be surprised if the watch doesn't break. Even with the most complex moon phase eight hour-minute hand model, many watch lovers have used it for 5 years and have not experienced the slightest problem; That's why I say personal use method is extremely important! Now let me explain the usage instructions of the watch! Very simple operation: when setting the date, please move the hour hand of the watch to around 5 on the dial, then adjust the date with the moon phase; If you adjust the mechanism like this, gear sticking will not occur, this point is very important. There is no need to go into other explanations; Because this watch is really very simple. Now let's look at the whole watch in terms of detail!

Is GF Factory Longines moon phase worth buying? How is the quality?

This watch is one of the original very affordable watches; The list price is around 20 thousand. Many watch friends often ask: While the IWC is about 50 thousand, the price of the replica Longines is almost close to that, how come? Let me give a collective answer to this! The replica watch imitates the details of the original; It has nothing to do with the list price. Because the parts used in the replica are not bad; There is no such thing as brand awareness in a replica watch, the only purpose is to reflect the original to the highest extent possible and keep the details of the original alive to the fullest! Of course, the GF Factory Longines moon phase model is a slightly higher priced version in the current replica market; Watch lovers who want a more affordable price can choose other options!

The overall size of the GF Factory Longines moon phase model is 40x12 mm, and this size has a style that suits both formal and daily use. 316 steel was chosen as the material; The overall watch is very brightly processed, its polish is very eye-catching, the corners on the side are also extremely smooth and it is very comfortable to hold! Of course, it is necessary to be careful when using the watch later, avoiding unnecessary impacts and preventing excessive scratches. Let's say a scratch occurs later; You can work directly with sandpaper, it's a very simple method!

The entire GF Factory Longines moon phase model uses double-sided sapphire glass; This ensures that it will not be easily scratched later. Of course, what I say here is not easily drawn; Otherwise, it does not mean that the watch can withstand bumps and drops during use! We return to that quote at the beginning of the hour: care! The biggest advantage of sapphire glass, in addition to its hardness, is the transparency of the material itself; This allows you to read the watch's information more easily. Additionally, a colorless coating was applied to the inner surface of the glass; This increases the readability of the watch!

The watch is a simple model; A design with three hour and minute hands is used throughout, and there is a moon phase and date dial at the six position. This style is really simple! Note this: the moon phase function at position six is ​​exactly the same as the original; Both of them rotate once a month, the usage and adjustment method matches the original. The spike pattern on the dial is exactly the same as the original, it is not possible to distinguish it with the naked eye; Willow leaf-shaped blue steel annealed hour and minute hands, synchronized with the original in terms of mold and workmanship; The details are also extremely impressive. That's why GF Factory catches spring as soon as it is released! Of course, what will be revealed is the details of the mechanism section!

The replica L899.5 integrated movement is used as the movement in the GF Factory Longines moon phase model. Making the mold of this mechanism has now become a habit for GF Factory; because before that there was the GF Factory Jaeger-LeCoultre moon phase Master success example. In addition, GF Factory currently has the only automatic rotor with real bearings, which is exactly suitable for the version! (Attention: this bearing is not gluing; please do not disassemble arbitrarily if there is no tool specific to the Longines movement.) This is also the official statement of GF Factory. As for the watch, there is no problem as long as it is used with care afterwards; We are back to the beginning again, it is necessary to have a certain knowledge and method about the clock!

I think it goes without saying that the strap and buckle are exactly the same. 316L steel bracelet combined with folding clasp made of steel; Its polish and processing are fine, it does not sting the hand, it is generally simple and stylish, and it is comfortable to wear. The bracelet is completely replaceable with the original, no problems. Additionally, since it goes through two stages: polishing and brushing, it gives a very textured feel when worn. Combined with the Longines original buckle, it is easy to put on the wrist and the details are extremely flawless. In general, the details of the watch are extremely successful!

Summary: Today, I briefly examined the GF Factory Longines moon phase in detail; The watch is generally very good in terms of detail and its serviceability rate is also quite high. Watch friends who like it can buy it with peace of mind!
