Jaeger-LeCoultre Replika Saat İncelemesi - Ön Görünüm ve Kasa Tasarımı

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Wristwatch model is produced by the leading Super Clone manufacturer workshops with a solid stainless steel case, standard case diameter and Miyota 9015 high frequency 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.

The dimensions of the YL Jaeger-LeCoultre Master series Clown watch are 39*10.1 mm. The diameter is the same as the original, but 0.2mm thicker than the original. Since this is a mold mechanism, normally there should not be such a difference of 0.2 mm. Probably the curve of the windshield is slightly different or some other reason; Actually, it is due to some carelessness.

Case and Body Workmanship

The case is stainless steel, and sapphire crystal glass is used as the front glass. The white dial is also extremely versatile. Stick hour markers combine with a heat-treated blue annealed small seconds hand. The hour and minute hands are also among the highlights of this watch; The so-called yin-yang hour and minute hands (half polished, half matte) are an extremely beautiful classical model.

This faceplate is better than that moon phase model. It has a lively appearance; The date window and the dial surface are in two different tones, very beautiful. The CD pattern inside the date dial and small seconds dial is also very three-dimensional and clear; All hydraulic printing letters are also very successful, their thickness is just right. The curvature of this dial is slightly different from the moon phase one, which gives it a different atmosphere; This is literally an unrivaled Clown.

Dial and Hand Details

The entire design of the dial is extremely characterful and very recognizable. Although there are 3 small dials on the dial, it looks complicated but is actually simple. There is a date display dial from 1 to 31 at position 3, a standard small seconds dial at position 6, and a fan-shaped power reserve dial at position 9; All functions are the same as the original. Moreover, since the YL version uses a custom-made movement, it is the only current version whose position of the three function dials is exactly the same as the original.

What is the bidirectional installation mechanism and how does YL differ from versions on the market?

Here, read the factory's description: Automatic installation system: The mechanism of the YL version is bidirectional installation, while other versions on the market are unidirectional installation.

Movement and Caliber Performance

Noise of automatic winding: In the YL version there is only a slight chain noise (same as the original), while in other versions on the market, the rotor rubs against the case back and the movement platinum while rotating, creating noise.

Structure of the mechanism: Since the mechanism of the YL version is produced by disassembling and removing the same mold as the original, its structure is basically the same and the compatibility of the mechanism parts is over 95%. The movement of the other versions is obtained by changing the Japanese 9015 movement and has a different structure.

Mechanism shock absorber: YL version's mechanism shock absorber is KIF shock absorber, which is the same as the original, other versions on the market are the original shock absorber of Japanese 9015 mechanism; It is clear at a glance whether it is real or a replica!

The side of the case has a polished design, there is a crown at position 3, and there is a pusher at position 2 above it. The function of the button is to set the date; It can be pressed with a needle, and it progresses one day with each pressing. Directly turning the crown installs the device, and the power indicator at position 9 moves accordingly. I do not recommend overfilling, because overfilling may cause the mainspring to discharge. The crown only has the function of setting the time, as there is a separate pusher for the date.

Glass and Sapphire Crystal

Case back exhibition type; The transparency of the sapphire glass in the middle is extremely high and it is absolutely comfortable on the wrist. The processing of the case back is also considered meticulous; The brand's English logo, waterproof value and code number can compete with the original. This time, YL used the 925/1 one-piece movement; The functions of this mechanism are the same as the original. Both the position of the stone beds, the position of the blue annealed steel screws and the position of the wheels are exactly the same as the original. The gears are real gears and they all move. It also has a special KIF shock absorber; It surpasses the versions on the market by far.

We have read the description, now let me specifically touch on the faulty aspect of this watch; This is again due to carelessness. Taşo also found the original photos from Watch Home. Careful watch lovers have noticed: Clown should actually say 938, 925 is no problem for the moon phase model, but if they had made it 938, it would be unbeatable.

As for the sound and shake: there is a slight clicking sound when you shake it up and down, and it is perfect when you shake it from side to side; Extremely smooth in operation.

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

The calfskin strap is not bad, a crocodile leather strap can also be installed later; This isn't very important anyway.

The engraving inside the buckle is neither good nor bad, it is average; The logo of the horseshoe buckle is very nice.

As for waterproofing, forget it; The case back is fixed with a screw, there is a button on the side and the crown is not locked; Don't forget about waterproofing. Only 30 meters even at an authorized dealer. Consider it as if it is not waterproof, do not let it come into contact with water, use it with care.

General Evaluation and Conclusion

Overall, the watch is successful; After all, it is a real mold mechanism. It would be even better if they corrected the engraving on the mechanism, I hope they improve this in the future.
