QF Factory’s replica watch Rolex M126529LN-0001 Le Mans Edition
The Rolex Daytona Le Mans 100th Anniversary Edition M126529LN-0001 from QF Factory is one of the top Daytona models in both the genuine and high-quality imitation markets. It is equipped with the 4132 movement and has received more attention than the m126506 Ice Blue Daytona. Let’s take a look at the restoration degree and movement performance of the classic black and white panda dial design by QF factory together.
The appearance details of Rolex replica watches
The dial of the black panda watch from QF factory features a matte texture, and the difference in glossiness is very small. The luminous hour markers are also well done. The grains are uniform and fine, without common defects such as edge overflow and bubbles. In low light, the luminous color is blue, and the battery life is long-lasting, fully meeting the requirements. The “ROLEX” brand logo and the “DAYTONA” chronograph text on the dial are engraved with Xianke craftsmanship. The font thickness is uniform, the edges are sharp, and when observed under a magnifying glass, it has a strong three-dimensional effect. The most recognizable part of the bezel is that the QF factory also features a black Cerachrom ceramic outer bezel, paired with a gold-plated white gold trim. Everyone knows the advantages of ceramic materials, such as scratch resistance and high hardness. However, once the edges are chipped, they cannot be repaired, which is also a minor drawback. The tachometer scale and numbers on the outer ring, as well as the oil filling process on the dial of the bezel, are still not as fine as those of the genuine product. However, the font is still clear and full, and the fit with the ceramic outer ring is extremely high. Especially the iconic red ceramic number “100” of the Le Mans commemorative edition, the color is also highly consistent. The damping sensation of the bezel rotation is also an important indicator. The torque of the QF factory version is approximately 11.2N.m, and the feel is similar.
For the strap and clasp, QF factory uses the same Oyster strap as the genuine product. It features a three-section solid link structure, and the links are well connected without any jamming sensation. The material of the watch strap is 904L stainless steel. The polishing and brushing process of QF factory is also good. It has also undergone counterweight treatment. The weight difference from the genuine 18K white gold watch strap is made up for by the internal copper-tungsten alloy counterweight. The total weight of the watch is approximately 174 grams. When worn on the hand, it gives a strong sense of weight, and the difference is not too large. The exterior part of the material also uses PVD electroplating process. After grinding and polishing, the color is still a bit inferior to the genuine product, but it is still very close. After all, the price and cost are also included here. The clasp is a folding oyster safety clasp, with a clear and three-dimensional engraving of the small crown logo on the clasp surface.
The performance of the QF factory 4132 movement
The QF factory Rolex M126529LN-0001 Le Mans Commemorative Edition replica watch is equipped with the cloned 4132 movement, which can achieve complete chronograph functions. It has a small daily error, accurate and stable timekeeping, meeting the precision standards of high-end watches. The power reserve is also suitable for office workers. It also has a good anti-magnetic effect, and the blue hairspring it uses can effectively resist magnetic field interference. Reducing the deviation in timekeeping is very important for office workers who need to frequently come into contact with electronic devices. It is worth mentioning that this model is also a 24-hour chronograph. The small dial on the left side can achieve the 24-hour chronograph function, restoring the functional attributes of the commemorative edition. This is also an advantage over the ordinary Daytona. When you open the back cover, you can see that the movement parts are neatly arranged, the engravings are clear, and there is a shock absorption device. The shock resistance performance is also good, and even daily bumps and knocks will not affect the movement.
The difference from the genuine product
The red Daytona logo on the genuine dial is more natural and has stronger penetration. The font of QF factory is a bit thick and the color saturation is lower. The difference won’t be particularly significant to the naked eye. The difference in the movement is that the genuine one has a non-adjustable movement and there is no adjusting screw on the balance wheel. The QF factory’s cloned 4132 movement features a calibration design, and there are also adjusting screws on the edge of the balance wheel. This technical aspect still needs to be upgraded. Although there is a difference in weight, QF factory has added counterweights, so the difference is not particularly significant. There is still a sense of weight when holding it. Those who like a sense of weight can still consider getting it.
