TF Factory replica watch Breitling Mechanical Chronograph PB0136251C1S1
This is a review article. The Breitling Mechanical Chronograph PB0136251C1S1 replica watch from TF Factory is a model that many watch enthusiasts have inquired about. With a 44MM blue dial and the signature roller style strap, it looks very imposing. Once worn, it immediately showcases one’s personal taste. I will conduct an assessment focusing on detailed comparisons, the stability of the cloned Cal.01 movement, and other aspects, which can help you determine whether it is worth purchasing.
The real wearing experience of a 44MM wristwatch
As a sports chronograph, a 44MM thickness combined with a 14.45mm thickness is quite normal. Wearing it gives a sense of dominance, but it doesn’t make people feel exaggerated. Especially when paired with a roller steel bracelet, the overall visual weight is balanced. The polishing process of the case determines the feel when worn. TF Factory uses 316L stainless steel material. The lines of the case cover are relatively smooth, and there is a slight arc at the connection between the lugs and the case to better fit the wrist curve. The overall wearing feel belongs to the medium to upper grade of watches.
The detailed treatment of the blue dial: The blue dial is the soul. TF Factory’s restoration solution is a multi-layer electroplating process combined with a horizontal brushing process. The resulting sunray pattern is also quite delicate and cannot be distinguished by social distance. The minor flaws on the dial are that the date characters are slightly thinner, and the edges of the luminous hour markers coating are not as uniform. The three-eye chronograph layout on the dial has been fully restored, and all functions can operate normally. It is not a decorative dial.
Evaluation of waterproof and timing functions
The cloned Cal.01 movement based on the 7750 movement has also fully realized the chronograph function. Pressing the upper button starts and stops the chronograph. Pressing once starts, and pressing again stops. The middle button has three positions. Position 0 keeps the time running normally. Position 1 is for the calendar quick adjustment function. Position 2 is for adjusting the time and the second hand will also stop. The button below is the reset button for the timing pointer. It must be operated in a paused state. Standard operation can make it last longer. Keeping the chronograph function on for a long time will accelerate the wear of the movement gears and power consumption. It is not recommended to keep it on for a long time.
In terms of water resistance, TF Factory has achieved a screw-down crown with a double gasket design in its structure. The depth of the engravings on the back cover is the same as that of the genuine product, and the characters are neat and clear. The workmanship is precise. After professional waterproof testing, it can easily handle water sports such as swimming and snorkeling. If you want to go deep diving, you still need to wear it carefully. Our waterproof tests are generally static tests, and dynamic sealing performance cannot be guaranteed 100%.
Breitling’s meticulous craftsmanship at TF Factory
The TF Factory Breitling mechanical Chronograph PB0136251C1S1 replica watch maintains the same dial texture as the genuine product. The central axis of the hands is made in a shape similar to a hat. When magnified, the polishing degree of the edge of the axis is insufficient, and it is almost imnoticeable under normal use. The luminous coating uses Swiss C3 luminous powder, but it is not of the original factory grade. The actual test shows that after absorbing light for 30 seconds, the luminance of the night light can reach 85% of the genuine product in the first 30 minutes. The attenuation is also quite obvious in the later stage. After 4 hours, only a faint light spot remains. However, it is basically sufficient for reading time at night and belongs to the “upper-middle level of luminous effect among replica watches”. In summary, the appearance restoration degree can reach 90%, the functional integrity is 100%, and the movement stability performance reaches 85%. A very worthy wristwatch to consider.
