Quality and workmanship review of the ZF Factory Longines Conquest gray dial replica

When we take the external measurements of the ZF Factory Longines Conquest gray dial replica, the diameter is 41 mm and the thickness is 12 mm. With this simple measurement we already understand that zf is exactly the same as the original. The case is made of 316L stainless steel; It has a polished and brushed finish and a shiny and textured appearance.

The unidirectional rotating gray ceramic bezel is also one of the outstanding features of this series. The text color on the ZF Factory gray bezel is very pure white, there is no color difference. The teeth on the edge of the bezel have undergone a fine polishing process and are smooth to the touch.

The case side surface of the ZF Factory Longines Conquest gray dial replica is processed with a brushed process, and its texture is fine. The curve of the four ears is the same as the original; It fits on the wrist and offers more comfortable use. The crown on the right side is screw type; There is a protection design on both sides of the crown, keeping the internal mechanism of the watch safe. At this point, the color of the gray dial and the bezel are the same. From behind the sapphire glass, we can clearly see the light pattern emitted by the dial in sunlight; This is also compatible with the original.

It has a closed case back design and the writings on the edge of the cover are quite clear and distinct. The brand's iconic "flying hourglass" logo is engraved in the middle of the cover; This emphasizes the unique appeal of the brand. As for the movement, it uses the L888.3 movement, which is derived from the ZF Factory Seagull 2824. The stability and quality of the Seagull mechanism is undoubtedly very good. In addition, the closed case back design of this watch makes you more confident in daily use. Of course, there is an open point here: The biggest difference from the original is that the direction when setting the date is upwards; whereas in the original it is downwards.

As for the strap, ZF Factory uses a removable three-row stainless steel bracelet. The texture and structure of each piece is compatible with the original. The ears are specially made according to the original, the tip pattern is compatible with the original. There is also a different gray strap model for watch lovers. ZF Factory has also engraved a code on the serial number of each watch. Although it is a bit unnecessary for a replica, it at least reveals the factory's meticulous attention to detail.

Evaluation: From the detailed review above, we understand that the ZF Factory gray dial Conquest watch is compatible with the original in appearance and thickness; Even its parts are interchangeable with the original. The only difference is that its mechanism is different from the original; However, since the case back is closed, it is difficult for a non-expert to distinguish it. Of course, when you disassemble the movement, everyone knows the difference between 2892 and 2824. When worn on the wrist, even I cannot distinguish whether it is real or a replica at a glance.

I hope my article was useful to you. I will share more detailed disassembly, real shot review and real-replica comparison in the coming days.
