The New Trend – Replica Watches with Increased Weight – Susan Reviews on Replica Watches

Replica watches with increased weight have become a hot topic in the market, especially since the second half of this year. While replicas are now closer than ever to genuine watches, the pursuit of perfection continues. Some custom modifications are being done on replicas from top factories like Clean, ZF, and VS. Initially, GM and GS were the first to introduce Day-Date replicas with increased weight, which gained immediate popularity.

Another notable factory, TED, emerged with a YachtMaster 226659 replica. Though rumored to be a VS subsidiary, it’s likely just a small studio with VS connections. Currently, Gold and APS factories dominate discussions, producing Daytona and YachtMaster models with increased weight. Gold, speculated to be linked to Clean or an established parts supplier, focuses on rubber-banded models.

Both Gold and APS use tungsten steel alloy cases, adding significant weight (142.9g and 145.2g respectively) compared to Clean’s 109g. However, genuine watches weigh around 160g. The harder tungsten steel affects polishing quality, particularly on case backs and lugs.

The key difference lies in their movements: Gold uses the proven Dandong 4130, while APS opts for the newer Shanghai 4130. This explains Gold’s higher price point. Case shapes are similar, possibly from the same parts supplier. Dial colors vary slightly, with neither matching Clean’s quality. APS features deeper clasp engravings, though both use 904L stainless steel.
