About watch factories

I'm on vacation right now, it's so cold here, I don't even want to take my hands out, but if there's anything you want to know, I'll respond to your messages. Our New Year's holiday is short, but these watch factories' holiday will be long; most will return on February 6, but some will rest throughout February. Today I would like to tell a few things about these watch factories, especially ZF and Clean.

First of all, these watch factories in our market are not the kind of factories you have seen before. As you know, a factory must have tens or hundreds of workers, whereas the watch factories you see on the Internet or in these replica watch forums — ZF, VS, APS, Clean, GF, HBF, GM, MK, V7 and the like — are not like that at all. Most probably have a small workshop where only one or two watchmakers assemble watches each day; All small watch factories are like this. But if you talk about big factories like ZF and VS, maybe they have more than five masters who assemble watches and provide repair services, because big factories have more orders to process every day. So, do not think that these watch factories are too official and too big; The more mysterious they act, the more likely they are to end up like a clown. They still need to be mysterious, otherwise they're easily caught.

If you have the opportunity to go to our watch market, ask someone working in a watch shop to place a large order to a factory like ZF, and say that you need to do business face to face with the boss of ZF; Maybe that person takes you to meet them and you see that their workshop is very small. In my opinion, the real factories that have business connections with ZF, VS and other watch manufacturers are actually those watch parts factories; They supply movements, cases, bracelets, dials, hour and minute hands, sapphire glass and other watch parts to ZF, VS, APS, HB and other watch manufacturers that I prefer to call gold diggers (not factories).

Case and Body Workmanship

Clean was a real factory here, they used to produce bezels and we know that the green ceramic bezels used in the 116610LV replica are the best in our market. But today, I don't know if Clean is still the same factory as before. Usually a watch parts factory does not make replica watches itself, because the risk is too great; That's why I think someone is assembling and selling replica watches using the name "Clean". What is even more infuriating is that this person sells the watches at very high prices; For example, the Panda Daytona must definitely be prohibitively expensive, even more expensive than the Daytona Noob used to make. Although it is in competition with the BT factory, it does not reduce prices.

This is how Z factory does its job; Every time they released a new model they sold it at a very high price. The quality looks good, and so does the movement if you can look through the glass on the case back; But a replica cannot be perfect. If you are thinking of buying a replica that ZF has just released, you need to think carefully, maybe some watch parts are easily broken; This problem really exists in ZF products. However, replica watches that have been on the market for years and have accumulated a high reputation among customers do not have this problem. So my advice is not to buy the new replicas they released. In any case, I hope Clean and ZF continue their efforts to improve the quality of watches, because their watches are really expensive and people are willing to buy such high priced watches if they are truly perfect copies; Otherwise, they will be unhappy when they use the watch a few times and some parts break.
