The 3 steel balls and spring inside the case are exactly the same as the original structure; Not only its structure but also its waterproof performance is equivalent to the original. Let's come to the dial details of the ZF Factory Black Water Ghost replica. There is no major change in the hour markings; It has already reached almost the highest level, there is nothing left to change. However, ZF Factory has done a really successful job on the central axis of the hour and minute hands. When you examine the bezel from the side, the upper edge is processed in the same way as the original, and the side surface is finely processed; The crown and brushed surface details on the right side are at the highest level, almost flawless.

The case of the ZF Factory Rolex Water Ghost is made of genuine 904L stainless steel; Its content (chromium, nickel, molybdenum) is 1.5 times that of 316L, corrosion resistant, not easily oxidized and wear resistant; High-intensity brushing has been applied in many parts. Since the case form comes from the original mould, the chamfers and curves are very close to the original; It has completely regained the original hand feel and character, almost the same in size and thickness as the original. The engravings on the inside of the case where the strap is attached are not sloppy either.

The dial of the Green Water Ghost is produced by applying 'green gold' coating using Rolex's top-secret PVD technology; The green has a slight golden tint to it and the color can remain unchanged for decades. The bottom ground texture of the dial is processed 'extremely finely'; However, when the tissue is thin enough, it can spread evenly over a larger area under light, creating a 'spotlight' effect;

Hour markers: First of all, they are 'nailed' into the dial surface using the rivet method, in the same way as the original; It remains as durable even if used for years. The corner engraving of the 12 markers on the same dial surface is kept to exactly the same tolerance; but when it is so it looks neater and neater;

Is ZF Factory Water Ghost or N Factory better?

This is a question asked by many watch lovers. Let's say we put N Factory's reputation aside and examined the details thoroughly; ZF Factory is slightly better in terms of detail. Starting from the bezel, ZF Factory cooperates with the C bezel when it leaves the factory; The market price of a single bezel is around 600, which shows how careful ZF Factory is. The N Factory V12 version is not worthless either; We need to evaluate the value of the watch from an unbiased perspective! In terms of the bezel, ZF Factory has done the details well; The detail I mean here is the quality control at the factory. Ultimately, the N Factory V12 version Water Ghost has achieved a dominant position in the market by making versatile improvements in the bezel. In addition, ZF Factory directly cooperates with C bezel, directly uses the replica parts factory's bezel; This gave him great reputation. In terms of details, N Factory still lags a bit behind on the bezel; However, in terms of the three-dimensionality of the bezel, N Factory still surpasses ZF Factory. There's really no difference between the two. In terms of quality control at the factory, ZF Factory is superior to N Factory. ZF Factory factory hardware is pretty good; Usually we do not need to check again, the QC level is very good. When it comes to N Factory, there is almost no such thing as quality control; This is probably because they are no longer interested as the factory has grown and the number of goods has increased. So usually when we order from N Factory, we need to spend a lot of time and effort to QC the watch; This includes adjusting the margin of error and identifying defective points of the watch. As for ZF Factory, the situation is much better. This is a conclusion we came to after receiving the goods. It would not be right to say which factory is good and which is bad for both watches; The price-performance of both factories is quite high, the rest is up to personal preference. Let me also point out this: ZF Factory's after-sales support is quite strong; In other words, if there is a natural malfunction in the bezel in the future, it will be replaced free of charge. N Factory is only looking to collect money from you! You can evaluate both hours for yourself! In terms of workmanship, they are both very good versions, there is no difference between them!

As for this replica watch, let's first look at the overall ZF factory Green Water Ghost. A ring with CERACHROM written on it is used on the bezel; Made of a special ceramic that is harder, corrosion and scratch resistant. The dial's CHROMALIGHT lume display is also a new technology; It keeps the overall lume duration of the watch longer. A manufacturer whose writing tolerance on the ceramic bezel has reached the micron level. The entire bezel was produced with a single-piece molding technique; There is a chamfering process and platinum filling on the bezel, attention is paid to detail and texture. Good texture is much more difficult than just good hardware. Quality is kept at micron level; We can understand this from the depth of the grooves on the bezel and the grain feel of the platinum filling.

The engravings on the inside of the case where the strap is attached are not sloppy either. The green ceramic bezel markers are extremely flawless, the spacing is consistent with each other; The inverted triangle at position 12 is perfectly aligned with the lume dot on the bezel. In many small factories, the hour marker at 12 o'clock and the lume point on the bezel are not aligned, which annoys meticulous users. The brushing of the case back is fine, the texture holes are smoothly polished and their depths are compatible with each other. There is a 3135 automatic mechanical movement inside; The overall imitation success of the mechanism is extremely high, its functions are the same as the original, and it is accurate and stable when operating.

The ZF Factory Rolex Water Phantom has the crown security logo hidden in the 6 positions of the sapphire glass; This is no longer a difficult detail to do in replica watches. ZF has done a good job with the inner ring engraving. The waterproof ring inside the screw-down crown meets the need for swimming; There is a slanted cut at the bottom of the crown. After tightening, the crown does not fully adhere to the case, but this does not affect the water resistance.

This time, ZF Factory's movement is 3135; This is better than the Hangzhou 6300 movement that N Factory uses, but not as attractive as VS Factory's 3135 one-piece movement. Ultimately, VS Factory's movement making technology is extremely on point.

The steel bracelet of the ZF Factory Black Water Ghost replica is produced with a combination of imported disc and imported wax technique; Its color is whiter than all the versions currently sold on the market, and its brightness is one step ahead. You can compare this yourself; The overall quality of the steel bracelet can easily be described as original Swiss production. ZF factory guarantees that the ear screws of all steel collars will not have thread stripping or difficult removal; It brings back the feeling of the original when tightening the screw for the first time: it's a little hard the first time, then it's as smooth as ever. ZF guarantees the performance of the steel bracelet; The ear screws of the steel bracelet, the 904 buckle button and the small parts of the buckle button are fully compatible with the original.

The strap and buckle button of the ZF Factory Rolex Black Water Ghost are made of 904 steel; The steel color is close to the original and the detail work is also very good. Parts such as the buckle button are specially processed and do not cut the hand. The crown on the polished buckle button, which is the same as the original, has a very good three-dimensionality, and the workmanship of the opening part is also very good. The inner part of the strap is produced in the same way as the original, with a technique where horizontal brushing is applied in the middle and no sandblasting is applied; A black ceramic bed was used. When the buckle is closed, the sound is also very clear and the hand feeling is very good. The matte processing on the inside of the fine adjustment knob is the same as the original. The steel bracelet is a point that ZF Factory pays attention to; The overall workmanship of the watch is also very good. The care taken by ZF Factory this time is also very successful; The watch was packaged very nicely, including the position of the case!

The tortoiseshell-shaped outer plate of the buckle is square and smooth; The outer plate is machined using a single-piece press molding method, not the powder casting method used in most products on the market. The advantage of this is obvious;
