Best Replica Watches Review

At the beginning of 2018, AR Factory released several Rolex Daytona replicas, crafted from 904L stainless steel and featuring the innovative Rolex 4130 automatic movement. These Daytona replicas stand out with their exceptional quality, but there’s one notable downside: they aren’t fully functional chronograph watches. Unlike other Daytona replica watches I’ve shared before, which have fully operational chronograph functions, this particular AR Factory Daytona has non-functional subdials at 3:00 and 9:00.However, the chronograph buttons are pressable, meaning the central chronograph second-hand starts working when you press the button at 2:00. Despite this limitation, it’s worth noting that this is one of the closest replicas in terms of appearance to the original.

If you prioritize the aesthetics of a replica watches over complete functionality, this Daytona is the best choice for you. Sometimes, sacrifices are made to perfect other features, and in this case, the factory focused on flawlessly replicating the movement. The movement plates and rotor are meticulously decorated, making it almost indistinguishable from the genuine 4130 when the case back is opened.

The case of this replica Rolex Daytona measures 40mm in diameter, featuring a brushed finish with polished lugs. The black ceramic bezel is adorned with white tachymeter scales. The silver-grey dial of the replica Rolex displays three black subdials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock, with the small seconds hand running smoothly on the subdial at 6 o’clock. The hour markers and hands are filled with white luminous material, emitting a strong blue glow in the dark.

I personally love this silver-grey Daytona, as the color coordination is impeccable. The black ceramic bezel, black subdials, and black rubber strap create a perfect harmony with the silver-grey dial, which pairs beautifully with the 904L stainless steel case.

AR Factory recently released a series of Daytona replica watches featuring the Super Asian 4130 movement. While these Daytona replica watches are of excellent quality, they come with one significant flaw—the chronograph function is non-operational. Just last week, another well-known manufacturer, Noob, launched a new line of Daytona replicas using the 4130 movement. Unlike AR Factory’s version, Noob’s 4130 Daytona replicas feature a fully functional chronograph, like the ice blue Daytona I’m reviewing today. This model is, in my opinion, currently the best Daytona replica on the market. While it may not be crafted from 904L steel, there’s a chance Noob will use this superior material for future 4130 Daytonas, given that they have already incorporated it into their Submariner models like the 116610LN and 116610LV.

The Noob Daytona replica boasts an ice blue dial, a brown ceramic bezel, and a fully functional chronograph, just like the authentic Rolex Daytona. However, its price is slightly higher compared to Daytona replicas from other manufacturers. In my opinion, if you’re after a flawless Daytona replica and don’t mind the price tag, this model is definitely the best option available.

This Daytona model is the latest creation from Noob factory, powered by the exclusive Cal. 4130 automatic movement. Not only is the movement identical in thickness to the genuine article, but it also offers all the functions of a real Rolex Daytona. The Cal. 4130 used in this rolex replica features the KIF shock absorber, a specialized component designed for this movement. The entire movement is engineered to mirror the genuine Cal. 4130, with chamfering and engraving patterns on the movement plates crafted to match the original 1:1. In short, this is the finest replica Rolex Daytona available, outperforming others in the market in terms of accuracy and craftsmanship.

The case has a 40mm diameter and a thickness of 12.5mm. Just like the genuine Rolex Daytona, the case features a combination of polished lugs and brushed surfaces on the rest of the case. The bezel is made from real brown ceramic and engraved with white tachymeter scales.

The sapphire crystal is thick, and its height above the bezel is identical to that of the original. If you examine the crystal at a specific angle, you will notice a tiny Rolex crown etched at the 6 o’clock position. Beneath the crystal, the ice blue dial features three working subdials. The hands and hour markers are silver-tone and filled with Swiss Blue Superlume. The textured dial has a sun-ray pattern that required significant design effort to perfect.

I weighed the watch, and as the manufacturer claims, it weighs about 143g, which is very close to the weight of the genuine version. Made of solid stainless steel, both the case and bracelet are highly polished, ensuring superior comfort when wearing the watch. Here’s a detailed look at the watch’s specifications:

• Movement: Slim Super Copy 4130 Automatic, Full Chronograph, Decorated Plates and Rotor Mimicking Genuine 4130
• Case: 40mm x 13mm, 316L Stainless Steel, Brown Ceramic Bezel
• Crystal: Scratch-Resistant Sapphire
• Dial: Ice Blue with Blue Superlume on Hour Markers and Hands
• Bracelet: 316L Stainless Steel with Flip Lock Clasp
• Water Resistance: 50m

The Rolex Deepsea D-Blue 116660 is one of the most replicated watches in the market. Factories such as BP, Noob, and J12 produce high-quality replicas of the D-Blue, continually updating them to achieve a look that closely resembles the genuine article. Previously, I introduced the replica Rolex D-Blue 116660 James Cameron on my blog, which quickly garnered the interest of many watch enthusiasts. The D-Blue replica has now been upgraded to the V9 version by Noob, resulting in a perfect 1:1 high-end replica. With the recent model released by Rolex at Basel, Noob has also replicated the Sea-Dweller D-Green. Similar to the D-Blue, the Sea-Dweller D-Green features a gradient green dial that transitions smoothly from green to black. In this article, I will provide a comprehensive review of the replica watch.

To start, the case measures 44mm in diameter and is crafted from 316L stainless steel. Even though this is the V1 version of the replica Sea-Dweller D-Green, the case is polished to a high standard, much like the V9 D-Blue. With its robust case design, this watch can endure significant pressure underwater. In the dark depths of the sea, wearing such a large watch with a green dial makes you resemble a green monster. The black bezel insert is made of ceramic and features engraved diving markers, and it is uni-directionally rotating.

The dial of the replica watch is distinctive, featuring an upper half in green and a lower half in black, which creates a natural gradient effect. All hour markers and hands are coated with white Swiss luminescence, ensuring strong visibility for divers in dark waters. The text “SEA-DWELLER” is also displayed in green. If you examine the dial closely, you’ll see a tiny laser crown logo on the crystal at the 6 o’clock position, a detail that is also present on the genuine watch. Additionally, the engravings on the inner bezel of the replica are accurate as well.

The movement powering the replica Rolex Sea-Dweller D-Green is an Asian ETA 2836, which has 25 jewels and operates at a frequency of 28,800 beats per hour. You might wonder why the factory opted not to use a 3135 movement. In fact, the Asian ETA 2836 is considered more reliable compared to the 3135. While the 3135 is a super cloned movement, it has a higher repair rate, which is why I prefer replicas equipped with the ETA 2836 movement.
