TF Factory Breitling RB0136E31Q1S1 Chronograph Review
This Breitling Chronograph RB0136E31Q1S1 replica watch from TF Factory almost replicates the essence of the original in terms of overall design. The main colors of the watch are red gold and brown. The combination of these two colors is luxurious and grand. The 44-millimeter large diameter of the watch exudes a strong presence and looks very charming when worn. The watch also feels good in use. It has a strong sense of weight when held and is quite comfortable to wear. As a classic model of Breitling’s mechanical chronograph series, the RB0136E31Q1S1, with its luxurious configuration of 18K red gold and brown ceramic bezel, has become the “dream watch” for many watch enthusiasts. Without further ado, let’s take a look at the overall workmanship details of this Breitling watch from TF Factory.
The watch has a tough and elegant appearance design
The case diameter of the watch is 44 millimeters and the thickness is 14.45 millimeters, which are exactly the same as the parameters of the original version. TF Factory is a replica and offers a great experience. The watch exudes a powerful presence when worn and is quite suitable for men with thicker wrists. It won’t look bulky when worn either. The case of the watch is gold-plated to simulate the texture of 18K red gold, and it is quite close to the original texture with little color difference. Its color is warm and not dazzling, and it doesn’t have the cheap texture of ordinary replica watches. It can be seen that TF Factory, as a large factory, has meticulous workmanship. However, this kind of coating will inevitably fade and oxidize over time, so we should pay attention when wearing it.
The dial of this watch is very beautiful. The brown dial paired with gold-plated bar hour markers exudes a retro and luxurious style. Both the hour markers and hands are filled with luminous coating, which emits a soft and clear light under the dark ring mirror. The brightness is sufficient and long-lasting, fully meeting the requirements for reading time at night. In fact, the luminous function of the watch is quite convenient. There are no scene restrictions, so you can check the time at any time. There is a small dial at the 3 o ‘clock, 6 o ‘clock and 9 o ‘clock positions on the dial. The color of the three small dials is milky white, which contrasts with the main dial, making it more convenient to read the time. There is a calendar window on the 12-hour counter at the 6 o ‘clock position. The edge of the calendar window has been sanded, so it doesn’t scratch your hand when touched. The details are handled very well. However, when compared with the original version, it can be found that the small dial color of the replica watch is a little yellowish. This point needs to be clarified.
The TF Factory, like the original version, uses a ceramic bezel, which is a signature design of Breitling. The scale on the brown ceramic bezel of this watch is very deep, and the Arabic numerals are clear and full. The damping sensation of the bezel when it rotates in one direction is moderate. The ratchet structure provides clear feedback without any jamming. The luminous beads at the 12 o ‘clock position on the bezel are fully filled, but the metal ring fixed at the edge is slightly thin. This is also a common detail shortcoming in many replica watches. The watch crystal is made of double-sided anti-glare sapphire glass, which has excellent transparency. Even in strong light, the time can be clearly seen.
The performance of the watch movement and the design of the strap
This watch is equipped with the domestic Seagull 2824 movement. The plates of the movement have been polished with fish-scale patterns. Although they are not as exquisite as the original version, the visual effect is still quite good. The actual timekeeping performance of the watch is stable. After my observation, its daily error is controlled at around 9 seconds, which is the normal level for replica watches. The power and duration of the movement are acceptable, so there’s no need to wind it frequently every day. The chronograph function of the watch is consistent with the original version. The chronograph buttons press smoothly and reset accurately without any lag. The watch looks quite good when worn. Its strap is made of stainless steel and features a bullet chain design. It is different from the original brown rubber strap, but each has its own style. It fits the wrist closely when held, with each link connected tightly. It has been polished and will not cut the hand. The color of the watch strap and the case should be kept consistent, which makes the color combination of the watch more harmonious. The overall performance of this watch is quite good and it is worth recommending.
