AF Factory High Cost Performance Longines L3.821.4.93.2 Review
Many people still have the impression that replica watches are crude and obviously fake at a glance. However, with the passage of time and the advancement of factory technology, this stereotype can no longer be generalized. Today, we are going to talk about the Longines spirit L3.821.4.93.2, a new release from the AF factory. The craftsmanship of this watch is truly remarkable, and it is evident that it has been made with great care. I quite like the color of this watch. The main color is sky blue, and the case and buckle are in the silver tone of stainless steel. Blue is particularly youthful and energetic, unlike dark tones that are low-key and steady. It is more fashionable, and the combination with silver is a classic and fail-safe choice, giving it a refreshing and high-end feel. The usability of this watch is also very smooth, and there is no problem wearing it in daily life. So, let’s take a look at the craftsmanship details of this watch from the AF factory.
Stunning exterior design
Let’s take a look at the dial design of this watch first. The dial is blue, with no obvious color difference, almost none. In bright places, the dial color will brighten up a bit, and in the dark, it will present a deep blue feeling. The dial is not just plain blue; it also has blue sunburst patterns. The AF factory did not use cheap printed dials but well-reproduced the original texture. The luster of the dial is very nice. The Arabic numeral hour markers on the dial are finely processed. Each number is a uniform-sized three-dimensional hour marker, neatly arranged and aesthetically pleasing. The edges of the numbers are smoothly polished without any burrs, giving it a very high-quality feel. The hands and hour markers are both coated with luminous material, which emits quite a bright light at night, making it easy to tell the time. The two sub-dials at the three and six o’clock positions are also blue, with the same layout as the original, and have unique CD textures that complement the sunburst pattern on the main dial, looking very nice. The white scale on the edge of the sub-dials is fine and uniform, without any blurring or smudging issues. The five-pointed stars at the six o’clock position are the highlight of this replica watch, highly recognizable on the dial. However, the three-dimensionality of the stars on this watch is not as good as the original, not as full and stereoscopic. This needs to be noted. The Longines wing on the dial is very similar to the original, and the English font printing is also very clear.
The case is made of stainless steel, giving a solid feel and not the light and flimsy texture of cheap replica watches. The case diameter is 42mm and the thickness is 17mm. AF factory has matched the original version in terms of size. The 17mm thickness can support the tough and rugged look of a sports watch, and it doesn’t feel heavy on the wrist. I find it quite comfortable to wear. The case has a distinct brushed finish, which looks very nice. The bezel is made of blue ceramic and fits naturally with the stainless steel case. The resistance when rotating is moderate, neither too loose nor too tight. The markings on the bezel are very clear and do not smear under light at night. The anti-slip texture on the crown is finely processed, and the feedback from the two chronograph buttons is clear. The workmanship of this watch from AF factory is excellent, especially considering its high cost performance.
How is the experience of using the watch?
This watch is perfectly fine for daily use. It is equipped with a high-quality movement that has been independently developed and modified by AF Factory. After wearing it for a period of time, the timekeeping error is controlled within about 7 seconds per day, which is much better than the normal level of many replica watches. The transparent back allows you to see the Geneva stripes, although not as exquisite as the original, it is still quite attractive. The blue synthetic fiber strap feels soft and smooth, and does not scratch the hand. However, the color of the strap is a bit brighter and lighter than the original. It also features a quick-release design, allowing you to easily change the strap without tools. I have tried it with a leather strap, and it is very practical.
