How is the workmanship of the ZF Factory IWC Pilot chronograph IWC377726 series green dial replica watch?

The IWC Pilot model is produced by ZF Factory with a solid stainless steel case, standard case diameter and 7750 automatic 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.

First of all, the watch is really beautiful. The green dial has been successful, it is quite striking. Frankly, when viewed from the side, it looks a bit black, but when viewed from the front, it looks green; And it's not one of those fake green ones. Maybe it could have been a little darker, that's all. The color difference is almost negligible, the overall feel is quite good. Now let's come to the flaws: the chronograph seconds hand is slightly offset and not perfectly centered. It would be nice if the 0 in the number 10 was a little flatter, the same goes for the 8, but it's still not bad. The date and day are not aligned on a single line; This is a common problem with dual calendar watches. The date is a little higher up and the font is a little thicker. The direction is not correct. Those who are very meticulous about details cannot wear this watch, but there is no problem for those who do not get hung up on small details. It is a complex structure and not easy to produce, but the problem is the problem. Even if it does not affect normal use and you do not examine it closely, if there is a defect, I need to tell you. Other than that, there is no problem, all functions work smoothly.

Glass and Sapphire Crystal

Glass detail: ZF used a double-layer light blue anti-reflective coating; Workmanship is the same as original IWC.

Dial and Hand Details

Hour and minute hand workmanship: The tip of the minute and second hand is slightly curved, the details are in place and are exactly compatible with the original.

The back end is also pretty good. The circular brushing looks very nice, and that radial feeling is also nice. The polishing workmanship of the areas that need polishing is also very good. Engraved writings deserve a lot of appreciation; The scrapings are very deep and smooth. Of course, this is compared to the original in the store; because this watch looks pretty good since the store version is mediocre.

Case and Body Workmanship

Case workmanship: Original dimensions 43x15.2 mm, ZF Factory dimensions 43x15.5 mm; About 0.3mm thicker, not worth tripping over, not bad. The case consists of two parts; The bezel and middle case are in one piece. The manufacturer states that the difficulty lies in the right-angled corner machining where the middle case and the bezel meet (this requires a lot of manual labor).

Strap, Buckle and Comfort

Strap workmanship: The stitching and printed text on the inside of the strap are quite good. The outer surface is brown calfskin, the paint edge closure on the side is also successful, the workmanship is really good. The buckle is also very well made, the logo is nice, and the engraving on the back is also quite deep.

Sound and shaking: When you shake it up and down, there is a slight rattling sound, medium level. The swaying left and right is also moderate. In normal use, everything is fine. We shook the watch very hard to hear the boundary sounds in the test, don't get me wrong. Just like some minor detail issues; Looking at it magnified under the camera and seeing it in normal use are very different things. Some customers buy the watch and say "This watch is not as exaggerated as you say, it is very good", this is why. You understand, right?

Movement and Caliber Performance

There is a Shanghai 7750 movement inside. If there are round holes next to the marks, it is the Shanghai mechanism. Shanghai mechanisms are in good condition now, they are not as flimsy as before. After the prices increased, they stopped using bad materials. It is quite sufficient in this era; They have all made progress in the last few years. Most importantly, its structure is synchronized with the original; The installation, date setting, hour-minute hands usage and chronograph function completely match the original.

But I don't like the way the IWC movement is fixed; There isn't even a single screw. It is held in place only by squeezing a dust cover between the case back and the metal ring. Over time, problems such as metal fatigue, the need for repairs due to impacts, and paint peeling on the dial surface occur. If crumbs get into the mechanism and get stuck somewhere, the watch breaks down, which is very annoying. Here's the brainless design of the store version.

Forget about waterproofing. Although the crown has a screw lock, the buttons are not locked. Moreover, it is a watch with a leather strap; Don't even think about waterproofing. It is best not to let it touch water at all.

Finally, let me add a hand-held photo. It has been explained above whether the product is good or not and how close it is to reality; overall pretty good. If you like it, you can buy it.
