How is the quality of GOLD Factory Shawn Yue Daytona 146 grams weight balance?

The Rolex Daytona model is produced by the leading Super Clone manufacturer workshops with a solid 904L stainless steel case, 40 mm diameter and Dandong 4130 chronograph 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.

Case and Body Workmanship

First of all, about the weight-balanced models: they are all produced for the clasp or case made using the relevant high-density materials in the replica of K gold watches. These are generally rubber belt based; Some watch friends ask why there is no steel bracelet. Because there is no example in the replica market yet that has succeeded in balancing the weight on a steel bracelet; All of them are made using high density material in the case and buckle. Likewise, weight-balanced models with steel bracelets produced by QF Factory are also the same; There is no weight balance in the steel bracelet, the bracelet is made of normal 904L stainless steel material, and the weight balance is in the buckle and case.

This time, GOLD Factory has brought the weight-balanced Daytona to around 146 grams; This data is a truly surprising example. You should know that the original Daytona, the same model as Shawn Yue, weighs around 155 to 156 grams and is made of 100 percent 18K gold material. GOLD Factory Shawn Yue reached a weight of 146 grams with a certain weight balance material; The difference is only about 10 grams. In the replica market, in weight-balanced watches, it often requires extremely difficult workmanship to make each gram one gram closer to the original.

Movement and Caliber Performance

After a factory has fully met the full filling standard in the case and buckle, it can still only reach around 140 grams, if it cannot reach the current 146 grams, then the only way left is to put an additional plate inside the case or on the movement and ensure weight balance. It is necessary to achieve a weight ratio as close as possible to the original and not to affect the normal operation of the mechanism; so completing the one gram increase is a successful challenge to the original clock.

Then, let's compare it with other factories that have not made weight balance, that is, with standard replica watches that use 904L stainless steel material and PVD coating workmanship: Shawn Yue Daytona weighs around 106 grams in these. Compared to the original, a lack of hand feeling emerges; Its lightness becomes apparent as soon as you handle it with its texture, and as soon as you look at it, it becomes clear that it is fake. In this respect, 106 grams makes a difference of 40 grams compared to 146 grams after the weight balance; GOLD Factory's weight-balanced Daytona mission has achieved success.

As for the appearance and color tone of the case, this time GOLD Factory has gone beyond the traditional PVD coating workmanship and used an appearance color created by a first-class PVD coating workmanship; It is approximately 97 percent close to the original real K gold, with almost no color difference. In addition, in the replica market, only QF Factory can gold-plate weight-balanced watches, but their weight cannot reach 146 grams. However, in this Shawn Yue model, GOLD Factory did not really explain that its weight balance material is suitable for gold plating.

That doesn't really matter, though; After all, gold plating already performs close to the original. On the other hand, an acid-base test was also performed, which is a special solution applied only here in the replica market; It offers a superior performance that does not oxidize or discolour. It is not afraid of the problem of discoloration, whether it encounters rain or sweat in daily use. The standard 40 mm size and 12.4 mm thickness in the case structure is a reference level workmanship performance.

Dial and Hand Details

As for the internal detail workmanship of the dial, the advantage of this dial is that all the same parts as Clean are used. Especially after the hour, minute and center shaft parts were processed and polished, they gained a smooth texture without any defects. The dial surface, with the 120 hour marker at the 6th position on the bezel, is in line with the original; You can compare this detail with APS Factory, where the 120 mark is shifted to the right and does not correspond to the original. The overall appearance is largely good, completely trustworthy.

On the movement side, this time the G Factory weight-balanced Daytona is equipped with the Dandong 4130 movement; It offers 72 hours of power reserve and a chronograph function that is 100% original. The mechanism works stably, there are no deviation defects. So where does the dog factory (G Factory) find the Dandong mechanism? This must definitely have something to do with Clean.
