GR Factory replica watch Audemars Piguet 15412BC
Today, I’m sharing this Audemars Piguet Royal Oak with a frost gold and rainbow gemstone bezel from the GR factory. The GR factory is also an old factory and has been making many brand replicas. Today, I’ll evaluate how well the Audemars Piguet from the GR factory performs, whether it has restored the core characteristics, how the frost gold craftsmanship is, and what the rainbow gemstone configuration and craftsmanship are like. I will evaluate it from aspects such as materials and processes, and compare them to see how big the gap is. Now, let’s start the real evaluation.
Is there a big difference in material and texture
GR Factory is also very strict in the selection of raw materials in accordance with the requirements of high-end replica watches. First, let’s look at the case and strap. GR Factory uses 316L stainless steel as the base, and simulates the frost-gold texture through high-frequency tapping. During tapping, the depth must also be controlled. Later, it needs to be polished to avoid pricking the hand. Moreover, when illuminated, it should present a glittering effect close to that of the genuine product The fineness and the refracted light, as well as the flickering, all need to be compared, and they are quite close. The difficulty of this frosting gold process lies in ensuring the uniform distribution of the surface granular texture while avoiding metal fatigue caused by excessive treatment. When held in hand, from the actual appearance, the frosting gold treatment process of GR factory has already reached the level of big factories like APS Factory.
Let’s take a look at the bezel. The bezel is also a very distinctive highlight. The 32 rainbow multicolored gemstones on the bezel are the most eye-catching part of this watch. The gemstones selected by GR Factory are high-quality zirconia crystals. The gradient effect is achieved through vacuum electroplating technology. Each gemstone is manually cut in a long step shape, with symmetrical and regular cut surface lines. Under sunlight, the color transition of the gemstones can be seen to be natural, without any stiffness. Although the fire performance is not as good as that of natural gemstones, it is still a gemstone bezel with a very good texture. The cutting ratio and setting technique of gemstones directly affect the overall texture. GR factory adopts the invisible setting method, where the metal claws are almost invisible. It uses the invisible track setting process. After testing, it is found that it will not loosen easily and there will be no large gaps. The production process of GR Factory is qualified, the colors are similar and the degree of reproduction is relatively high.
Have the details of the dial been restored
The degree of restoration of the skeletonized dial also largely determines the authenticity of this watch at first glance. Through the skeletonized dial, one can see the operation of the movement. The white gold fluorescent three-dimensional hour markers on the dial have also been polished at the edges without burrs. The surface of the hour markers is coated with luminous material, and in low-light conditions, the soft luminous effect emitted by the hour markers can be seen, making it very convenient to check the time. The luminous function is also very practical. By comparison, it can be seen that the hollowed-out patterns on the dial are consistent with those of the genuine product, without being messy or crooked. The most significant difference might be the gemstones on the bearings. The gemstones from the GR factory are not as bright and vivid, and there are still some distinctions.
The details of the crown are also restored. The AP brand logo engraved on the top has clear and three-dimensional patterns. The sealing performance has been tested and is quite excellent. It is completely fine for daily water resistance. The clasp is also a classic AP letched folding clasp, also made of silver frost gold. It does not get stuck when opening and closing, and the engravings inside are clear without blurring. The brushed and polished transition of the entire watch is also good, very natural, and the texture is quite good.
Is the cloned 3132 movement easy to use
The GR factory Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15412BC.YG.1224BC.03 replica watch is equipped with the cloned 3132 movement. Its power reserve meets the power requirements for daily wear and has strong stability, with a daily error within ±10 seconds. The structure of the movement is also being restored, but there are still differences in the parts. So, compared with the genuine product, there are still some differences in performance and stability. However, with a 90% experience, the cost performance is very high and it is worth considering.
