Among the many replica factories that produce Santos, two of them have the best quality, one is the BV factory and the other is the GF factory. What we are going to review next is the Santos from GF factory with white/blue dial.
Among the many replica factories that produce Santos, two of them have the best quality, one is the BV factory and the other is the GF factory. What we are going to review next is the Santos from GF factory with white and blue dial.
The dial looks beautiful overall. The CARTIER Logo on the dial is also well printed and in the same font as the original. The Roman numeral hour markers are ink filled and look three dimensional.
The hands are the same production process as the original - baked blue hands. The hands don't look as good as the originals and aren't very smooth when refracted by light. The center shaft of the hands looks to have assembly marks.
The bracelet looks beautiful, but the Cartier Logo engraving is not deep enough.
The size of the watch is 40*9.1mm, slightly thicker than the original, because the movement is different. The side view of the case, 316 stainless steel brushed face looks good. Crown is sapphire is also more than one cutting surface, in the UV light irradiation, the blue stone will turn red. This is a key to identifying the authenticity of the Santos.
The movement is the Japanese MIYOTA 9015. This movement belongs to Citizen's movement, which is good value for money and stable performance.
The inside of the clasp is also sanded and polished, and the GF factory has done a great job with the details.
