Holiday News

We are on our National Holiday, it will end on October 8, but factories will start receiving orders from today. One of the most talked about topics in the watch market these days is Clean Factory's return to business; They got a new name, it's called Clean Plus, did you get it from them? From what I hear, this is not the same factory as before, at least the watch assemblers are not the same as those who worked at Clean before, so the quality may not be the same either. A lot of new models have appeared on the market lately, mostly from APS, including the Jaeger LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin, a new model from JLC; AZ Factory had made the old model before, now APS has released its replica, it is equipped with the same super clone 938, the watch looks great, the case thickness is close to the original, the functions in the replica also work, but I do not recommend you to buy it, because the stability of the mechanism has not been improved; This is the only replica watch with a super clone mechanism that I do not recommend. I mentioned this mechanism when telling the story of APS Factory, it has a high failure rate.

Movement and Caliber Performance

This watch looks really nice, it is also said that the 938 movement in the original watch is not very stable, is it true? Has anyone here purchased the original watch?

Case and Body Workmanship

The stainless steel watch on the left looks classic, but I like the rose gold one on the right better.

Dial and Hand Details

In the original position, you can turn the crown to wind the watch, I just did it, wound it, please pay attention to the small hand on the power reserve indicator at 10:00, it moves from 1/4 to 1/2. There is no need to fully wind the watch, because when you put the watch on your wrist, the automatic rotor will move to gain energy.

At the 2:00 position of the case, there is a button that you can set the date by pressing with a tool; The date is displayed on the small round dial at 2 o'clock. The factory gives this tool free of charge.

In the replica, the engravings on the movement plates appear shallow, not deeply etched.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

Whether the stainless steel model or the rose gold model, they all come with a calfskin strap with a quick release system. The strap feels a little stiff, but you can get an original alligator strap and replace it. The stainless steel watch comes with a deployant buckle.

The rose gold watch comes with a pin buckle.

The hour and minute hands in the center have two faces, one is polished and the other is matte.

The second news is about V7, some said it was raided on September 30, but some said they were fine, they were still selling watches.

The third news is about VS. This factory became very busy after the closure of Clean, their business boomed, currently VS is the boss in the men's Rolex Datejust field, especially after the V2 came out, no one can compete with them.

VS's V2 Datejust model is now available in six variants: blue, green, grey, black, roman green and a blue one with roman markings.

The V2 Datejust now has an elephant sticker on its plastic bag.

Each watch comes with an upgraded card, now with a gold border.

There are other features about VS's new V2 Datejust, which I have previously described in the VS Factory Datejust V2 review.
