Is the new N Factory Sky-Dweller good quality?

The Rolex Sky-Dweller model is produced by Noob Factory with a solid 904L stainless steel case, 42 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.

Movement and Caliber Performance

This close relationship comes from the following: the new N Factory Daytonas use the Dandong 4130 movement previously used by N Factory; just like Clean and BT Factory. N Factory was distributing this mechanism to these three factories. However, the quality of this new N Factory-issued replica Daytona is not very good, it is not as careful as Clean and BT Factory. That's why we don't recommend it. If the prices are close to each other, you may well choose Clean Daytona V3 and BT Factory Daytona V2. Now let's get straight to the point and examine the quality of this N Factory Sky-Dweller.

Model number m336239-0002, diameter 42 mm, thickness 14.3 mm. When we look at the general dimensions, the thickness is slightly thinner than the original product; The thickness of the original is 13.8 mm. However, the difference of a few microns is almost unnoticeable; As long as it is not thicker than the original. The rubber strap model is an option that some watch lovers especially like; Compared to the steel bracelet model, the Sky-Dweller with a rubber strap sells much more than the one with a steel bracelet. The only factory in the current replica market that makes the rubber strap Sky-Dweller well is this new N Factory.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

Likewise, you can only find the Sky-Dweller with rubber straps at N Factory; You can largely ignore the products of other factories in this regard. The body of the original product is made entirely of 18K white gold. N Factory Sky-Dweller uses 904L stainless steel. However, regarding the color tone of the exterior, N Factory did not spare the cost this time and plated it with 2 micron 18K white gold; Simply put, we can think of it as a layer of gold plating. However, in terms of weight, it is not possible to reach the weight of the original; After all, the density of white gold is higher, while the density of 904L stainless steel is lower.

Case and Body Workmanship

N Factory Rolex has indeed made the bevel spring of the case form exactly the same as the original. The precise processing and polishing of the exterior is very successful; The resulting brushed marks are very visible and there are no steel cutting defects. The production of the bezel part is also at the same level of workmanship. In the crocodile tooth bezel, a certain angle needs to be adjusted well for the depth of the tooth form; At the same time, the sparkling color tone of the polish must reach the white gold color value. Generally, many factories cannot reach store quality and leave a sharp enough feeling to cut the hand.

The bezel part also has an adjustment function. Let's first understand how faithful the functions remain to the original: dual time zone display, month display and date. We can think of the month function as a year indicator. Since the number of functions is large, the setting method is also quite complicated. However, the new N Factory reflects all the functions of the original with 100% fidelity; This offers us a multifunctional, useful watch. Now let's see exactly how the functions are used.

First of all, the bezel is divided into three stages in total. You set the date display when you turn it one step counterclockwise and pull out the crown on the right one step. When you turn the bezel two steps counterclockwise, you set the shortest hand. When you turn the bezel for the third time, you set the dual time zone indicator. We also notice that there is a hollow, empty square section above the hour markers on the dial. The job of this function is to automatically jump to the next Arabic numeral when the date reaches the end of the month, the 30th or 31st.

Dial and Hand Details

There are 12 months in a year; There are a total of 12 dots on the time display on the dial, and these represent the months from January to December. Once the jump to 12 points is completed, a year has passed. You can only truly appreciate the full range of functions and how enjoyable it is when you hold the watch in person; In this respect, it offers a very high level of pleasure. On the mechanism side, their own modified 9001 caliber was used; This mechanism can perform all functions and is very successful.

The internal details of the dial, from large to small, do not actually present any problems; At least it has ensured that a non-professional cannot distinguish whether it is real or a replica, which is a nice surprise that the new N Factory can offer. The N Factory Sky-Dweller is pretty reliable in its claim to function; Its price is not expensive, its price-performance is very high. In general, it comes close to the original at around 95 percent.
