Here are some pictures I just took of the watch borrowed from my watch supplier. By the way, the replica is also made by N factory, a pioneer in manufacturing such high-quality replica Rolex watches for years.
About C+ Factory Two Tone Submariner
C+ factory may not boast a long-standing history, but it has swiftly risen to prominence as a formidable alternative to Clean and VS in the replica Rolex Submariner watch market. Initially known for its prompt watch delivery service, C+ has since adopted a more cautious approach following a recent raid last year. Nevertheless, C+ has garnered attention for producing high-quality replicas, particularly in their Submariner, GMT-Master, and Explorer II lines, with some models surpassing those from Clean.
Among C+’s offerings, two Submariner two-tone models stand out as superior to Clean’s counterparts. What sets them apart? Firstly, C+ invested significant effort into researching original parts manufacturers, ultimately sourcing from the same suppliers as Clean. As a result, the finish on the case, bracelet, and other components rivals that of Clean in terms of quality. Secondly, these golden Submariner models are equipped with the reliable Dandong 3135 movement, aligning with industry standards set by Clean and VS. Thirdly, C+ made notable enhancements to these Submariner models, notably thickening the stainless steel piece encircling the bezel pearl, an improvement over the thinner appearance on Clean’s version. Additionally, C+ offers a gain weight version of these models, adding to their authenticity, though availability may be limited as they are currently out of stock.
In a recent development, another raid occurred just last week, resulting in the closure of watch factories like EW and TW. However, despite these closures, replica Rolex watches under the TW name are still available for purchase. Interestingly, TW no longer refers to a specific watch factory but rather encompasses various individuals or teams producing Rolex replicas of comparable quality and selling them under the “TW” brand. Thus, TW remains a presence in the market, demonstrating its resilience despite recent challenges.
Rolex Submariner Andrea Pirlo Project with Asia 3130 Movement
Encountering a Rolex timepiece with a skeletonized dial for the first time is quite a novelty for me. It’s a custom creation that may seem unusual at first glance, but it undoubtedly appeals to those with a penchant for innovation. Andrea Pirlo, a household name in football circles, brings a touch of celebrity allure to this unique watch. While I may not count myself among his fans, his widespread popularity in China and worldwide is undeniable. The watch, with its distinct blend of elegance and ruggedness, mirrors Pirlo’s style on the football field.
The focal point of this timepiece is undeniably its dial. The skeletonized design offers a glimpse into the intricate inner workings of the watch, revealing every mechanical detail with clarity. Peer through the sapphire crystal and you’ll witness the mesmerizing movement of the replica Submariner, meticulously crafted to emulate the renowned 3130 caliber. After scrutinizing images of the genuine article and comparing them with the replica, it’s remarkable how closely they resemble each other. Crafting a skeletonized dial replica is no easy feat, as every component of the movement is on display, demanding precision and attention to detail. In this regard, VR Factory has excelled.
In addition to the superbly cloned 3130 movement, VR Factory has fashioned this replica from 904L stainless steel—a material synonymous with Rolex’s renowned durability. With the inclusion of the 3130 movement and 904L stainless steel construction, it’s no surprise that this timepiece comes with a hefty price tag, nearing $550 USD. While still within reach for many, it’s likely that only a select few would opt for this replica. After all, the genuine watch was custom-made for Pirlo himself. Sporting a replica from VR Factory would undoubtedly raise eyebrows, as it’s a telltale sign that you’re not donning the real deal—albeit with a playful nod.
