What are the Weak Points of the GF Factory V4 Breitling Blackbird Reconnaissance Aircraft? Is It Worth Buying?

The Breitling Wristwatch model is produced by the leading Super Clone manufacturer workshops with a 5th class titanium case, standard case diameter and ETA 2824-2 caliber architecture in accordance with Swiss norms. 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.

Is the Workmanship of GF Factory Breitling Blackbird V4 Good? Is It Worth Buying?

As you all know, GF Factory V3 version Blackbird has already gained a great reputation. Last year, ZF Factory also produced a Blackbird, but it was quickly removed from the market as the case color and workmanship fell behind GF Factory. A few factories like TW Factory also released Blackbird, but none of them could compete with GF Factory in sales. This shows that GF Factory has put a lot of effort into Blackbird, so it always holds an important place. This time, GF Factory's brand new improved V4 version Breitling Blackbird Reconnaissance Aircraft has made the following three improvements, mainly based on the V3 version: Laser engraved code has been engraved on the back of the dial surface. The watch is accompanied by a storage box identical to the one in the store window. The strap has been upgraded to a fluorine rubber strap. The V3 version was already fully competitive with the original in terms of case, strap and dial; There was no need for further improvement. Maybe it's the GF Factory watchmakers' quest for perfection, or maybe it's the latest upgrade to maintain sales.

Double curved sapphire glass is used and anti-glare coating is applied. The color and transparency of the blue anti-glare coating ensure that there are no reflections that will hurt your eyes when you look at the watch under strong light. The hour, minute and hour markers are all lume coated; Additionally, the tip of the seconds hand is in the shape of a red rhombus and the date window is framed in red. A grained matte texture treatment has been applied to the dial; The feeling of sand grain indentations and protrusions on the dial surface is quite evident, and the ground texture of the engravings on the outer ring is finely processed, competing perfectly with the original.

Although the black matte dial surface and sandblasted texture seem rough at first glance, they are actually extremely thin as a whole; This is also a processing technique of the watch. There is a date window at three o'clock and a red frame, which is very pleasing to the eye. The hour markers, hour and minute hands are filled with lume powder; Reading at night is no problem. Below the 12 o'clock is the Breitling logo, but starting in 2017, Breitling officially dropped the iconic wing logo and started using the abbreviation of the letter B instead; GF Factory also kept up with and updated this change noticeably simultaneously.

Blackbird is equipped with a unidirectional rotating outer bezel in the form of a unidirectional knurled wheel, which is fixed with a screw. GF has re-customized the bezel markings and made the ground texture thinner. At the lume spot position at 12 o'clock, sapphire is placed in a very small area to cover the lume coating; You can feel it when you touch it with your finger. Additionally, the small anti-counterfeiting logo on the Breitling bezel remains in place; This is a very easy method to distinguish. As a diving watch, the screw-down crown structure is a must; It also has time setting, date setting and manual setup functions. Anti-slip treatment has been applied to the crown design, its texture is clear; It does not slip from your hand while setting the time. It is clear from here how dedicated the GF Factory masters are! Breitling's classic emblem is engraved in the middle of the crown.

Since Blackbird combines its extremely hard and sporty exterior with a lightweight titanium case, it does not look bulky on the wrist and attracts great attention from watch lovers. With the constant effort of GF Factory watchmakers to seek better, the GF Factory V4 edition Blackbird Reconnaissance Aircraft has reached the level of mastery. If you want a sporty watch that is comfortable to wear, Blackbird should definitely be among your considerations.

Whether it is the GF Factory Blackbird V1 or the current V4, they all use the Seagull 2824 movement. When moving from V2 to V3, the ETA stamp was added under the balance wheel of the movement; But don't get me wrong, this is not a Swiss mechanism. The surrounding patterned engraving and gilded engravings are also quite elegant; The fact that this can be done even in invisible places in a watch with a closed case back design reflects a matter of attitude.

The strap changed to a fluorine rubber strap; This is only available in V4 version. If you want, you can also attach the nylon strap of the V3 version. The buckle is also an embossed pin buckle; The relief and the buckle are not molded as a single piece, separate from each other. Another improvement is the addition of a shockproof carrying case. It is 44 millimeters in size and uses the same titanium alloy as the original. Titanium alloy is firstly lightweight, secondly, it prevents skin allergies, and thirdly, it is slightly more wear-resistant than stainless steel.

The rubber strap has been upgraded to the same fluorine rubber material as the original, and the word BREITLING is printed on the strap. As for the buckle, there is not much to say: it is made of titanium case material, Breitling's classic logo is engraved in a three-dimensional and vivid form and welded to the buckle; It has reached a level where it is completely interchangeable with the original.
