On June 19th, the APS factory made an exciting announcement regarding the upcoming release of the Panda Daytona in black and white variants. These two Daytona models have now hit the market. The burning question on everyone’s mind is, what is the quality like, and is it a worthwhile purchase? To form a definitive judgment, I believe patience is key. It’s important to remember that these models have just been introduced, and as of yet, no comprehensive reviews are available. We remain uncertain whether they match or even surpass the offerings from Clean. Only time will reveal the answers we seek.

Before APS, you could get a super clone 4130 Daytona from Clean, BT, King, and New Noob, the Daytonas from these four factories are using Dandong 4130, which is considered to be the best clone 4130 movement in replica watch market. However, although facing the four choices, people are still willing to choose the Daytona made by Clean, this leads a result that their Daytonas immediately sold out once Clean publishes them to the market, now in the market, if you want a quick order, you need to pay extra money to get one Panda Daytona from somebody because Clean does not have it in stock.

Back to this replica Daytona made by APS factory, will they beat Clean and occupy the entire market ? I do not think so. I got the two watches and have compared them with the Daytona made by Clean, I found that APS version is not better than Clean, some details such as the dial printing is even worse than Clean Daytona. About the movement, APS factory uses Shanghai Jinghe 4130 movement, about Shanghai Jinghe Factory, it is also a big movement factory in China just like Dandong and Sea-gull, Shanghai Jinghe made the 3120 and 4302 movement(used in AP) as well as 240 movement(used in Patek) before, this is the first time for their 4130 movement to be used in replica Daytona, its stability and accuracy still need to be tested, I trust its accuracy, but can its stability be compared with that of Dandong 4130? Dandong 4130 movement is very stable, Clean factory sold thousands pieces of Daytonas and they received no complaints about this movement. While this Shanghai 4130 needs to be tested first, I see there is little difference between them, check the last two pictures, the first is Shanghai 4130, the second is Dandong 4130. Anyway, I do not suggest you buy this Daytona from APS at this point.

At Watches and Wonders this year, Rolex embraced colorful experimentation, notably with the latest Oyster Perpetual model. The classic design now boasts a creative dial adorned with vividly colored circles set against a light turquoise backdrop. Despite the vibrant dial, the watch is available in three diameters, offering a versatile range of sizes, with a 10mm difference between the smallest and largest options. This blend of bold design and versatile sizing is a hallmark of the Oyster Perpetual’s unique appeal.

As expected from the Oyster Perpetual, the case is crafted from replica Rolex’s proprietary Oystersteel, renowned for its corrosion resistance and durability against unexpected wear and tear. This vibrant design is offered in three diameters: 31mm, 36mm, and 41mm, providing flexibility in size and style options. All three size variations feature a sleek, polished bezel and are paired with an Oyster bracelet. The bracelet’s three-piece link design is a distinctive Rolex signature and is equipped with a secure folding “Oysterclasp” to prevent accidental opening.

While the exterior of the watch maintains the replica classic Oyster Perpetual silhouette, the dial is where things take an exciting turn. The predominant dial color is a gentle turquoise blue, adorned with sporadic patterns of candy pink, turquoise blue, yellow, coral red, and green circles, each outlined in black. These vibrant bubble-like patterns reintroduce the five lively colors that Rolex introduced to its Oyster Perpetual collection in 2020, offering a nod to the recent past with a reimagined and lively composition.

Several months ago, GM announced their V2 edition of Rolex Day-Date 40mm, which is heavier than the V1 and closer to genuine in weight, just about one month ago, GS factory also published this type of Rolex Day-Date with similar weight to genuine, it is the first time for GS factory to make 40mm Rolex Day-Date, they only made ladies Datejust before, I do not know why they started to make the Day-Date, perhaps they saw the big profit which GM factory has earned from the better V2 Rolex Day-Date, now both factories form a direct competition, maybe you will ask me which one is better, I will tell you both have a similar quality, but I still suggest you buy from GM factory, because it is one of the earliest watch manufacturers to make the best replica Day-Date.

There are two movement options for the Day-Date, one is 2836, the other is 3255, it is said that the weight of the replica with 2836 movement is about 10 grams heavier than the one with 3255 movement. The other details such as case material, bracelet material and finish are the same.

This Rolex Day-Date in the pictures is made by GS factory, its dial looks cracked, actually it is not, the dial is actually made with special stone, I do not know how to call it, the hour markers are set with diamonds, there are correct engravings on inner bezel, which is also engraved with serial number at 6 o’clock. So, if you are going to buy a box with this Rolex, you need to tell your dealer to type the correct model number and serial number on the Rolex card, or it will be meaningless to pay extra to get an original box.

Both GM and GS provide a lot of Rolex Day-Date replica watches made with 904L stainless steel, some are plated with yellow gold, some are with rose gold, the dial colors also vary, almost all genuine Day-Date models on Rolex’s official website can be found with replicas in the GM or GS’s collection. I know you concern if the replica has two important features, one is the laser crown logo in the crystal at 6 o’clock, the other is the precious metal logo and symbols on the the lugs, both genuine features can be found on the replica, by the way, if you choose the replica with a 3255 movement, then the adjusting of time, day and date will be the same as genuine watch.

Today, I have just come back from our Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, it is time to share the latest news of our watch industry, these days, many new watches have been released in our market. For example, Noob released the Super Clone 4130 Daytona V3 version and GMT-Master II 126710 Blue/Red, OM Factory launched a lot of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watches, VS Factory launched some amazing Omega Seamaster watches and so on. The most attractive one is probably the GMT-Master II produced by Noob Factory.

At that time, Noob only launched one Rolex GMT-Master II, the blue/black 116710BLNR. This was Noob’s only GMT-Master II made of 904L stainless steel. Since then, Noob has focused on Daytona watches. In September, the Daytona products with 904L stainless steel and Super Clone 4130 movement were upgraded to the V3 version. I have to admit that the Noob factory currently has the best replica Daytona. take. However, Noob has fallen behind other factories such as GMF in the development of other Rolex models, especially the GMT-Master II. However, the 126710 blue/red GMT II just released by Noob has saved their face.

Over the past few years, the Rolex GMT-Master Batman 116710BLNR has been the most popular GMT watch. Until 2019, Rolex GMT-Master II has launched many new models, and there are many factories producing GMT-Master II. However, among the many watch manufacturers, none can use 904L stainless steel to manufacture them while using the same Rolex machine. Core, except Noob. So even if you have to wait a little longer to receive the watch you ordered from Noob, sometimes it’s worth the wait.

Now back to the review of this GMT-Master II, like other Rolex GMT-Master IIs, this case has a diameter of 40 mm and a case thickness of 12.5 mm. The case and Jubilee bracelet are both made of 904L stainless steel, the bezel is high quality ceramic, the color is blue/red, red actually looks like brown, and the bezel markers have a platinum coating that never fades. Regarding the movement, Noob installed a clone 3285 in this replica Rolex GMT, which is the first caliber 3285 on our market with correct hand stacking and adjustable hour hand, and it functions exactly like a genuine Rolex 3285.

The quality of Noob’s Rolex products is very good, some models represent the highest level of watchmaking in our market, and some models have become legends, such as the black Submariner 116610LN. For this GMT-Master, if you pursue perfection in case design, dial details and even movement functions, then choose Noob. However, as I said before, Noob’s super clone movement GMT-Master is not very stable. My previous customers who bought Noob GMT-Master are now having some problems with their watches. What I want to say is that Noob still has no guarantee for GMT. -Master has developed a movement as stable as the Super Clone 4130 of its Daytona product.
