IWC Top Gun Ceramic Replica

Today, I will introduce another black guy that is full of military style, here I have given reviews on several replica military models such as Zenith Pilot, Omega 007 and Submariner 5517, this time, the IWC replica watch I am going to review is an authentic military pilot watch, its full black appearance just exactly proves this point. The watch is a high end clone of Top Gun 5019, the most unique place on this replica is that it features real ceramic case, wearing such a timepiece will make you look more tough.

Case Work

First, the full ceramic case is moulded from one piece, this process needs higher watch-making technology and skilled watch masters to complete. Whether the size, lugs width or engravings, they are 1:1 replicated according to genuine. The black ceramic case has top-level brushing process, touch the case by hands, it gives you a genuine feeling.

IWC Black Dial

The black dial extremely simple, with white hour markers and printing, the dial gives a high readability. There is a small subdial at 3 o’clock indicating 7 days power reserve, however, this function is faux on this replica, the small hand is fixed permanently. The central second hand has an unqie tip in white color, its another end is iconic Top Gun airplane logo in red. A small square date window is placed at 6. The replicas features a superlumed dial, which will gives you strong green light at night.

Nylon Strap and Clasp

The last two things that make me love this replica IWC deeply are its special caseback engravings and nylon strap in black. All high end replica watches have good engravings on caseback and clasp, so is this one, you can check its “IWC” engraving on the clasp, it is deeply curved. The black nylon straps add more military favor to this replica, which makes it full of tough charm but absolutely a low-key timepiece active on your wrist. The following is the specifications of this IWC Top Gun replica.

Look at the crown, there are clear engravings in such a small place.

The dial is black, due to the AR coating on front crystal, it looks to have a little blue hue. Hour markers are made of stainless steel, they are in three-dimensional, central hour and minute hands are also made of stainless steel, small second hand is running on the subdial at 6 o’clock, the subdial has 60-second tracking scales. There is no date display.

The dial is beautiful, I like its layout design and every detail on it, such as the blue numeral hour markers, slender hands, the case diameter is 40mm, but the dial seems to be very large, so casual watch all has such feature like this, which is easy to read time.

IWC Cousteau Divers Watch Replica

IWC Aquatimer is one of my favorite diving watches, not because of how big and strong it looks like, the watch seems to be more casual than other diving watches, so Aquatimer usually fit for business suits. The watch I am going to introduce is a replica of IWC Aquatimer, the Cousteau Divers special edition, it is different from other Aquatimer watches, not that vintage, but more fashionable. The watch is in size of 44mm*16mm, the case is brushed stainless steel, actually you can see the case only has a round bezel that is in small size, this could let the dial information exposed upon your eyes, so the readability of the replica is high. Blue dial meets the design style of traditional Aquatimer models, the replica has a pure blue dial, the yellow diving scales in yellow color are in greatly contrast with the blue dial, three subdials have layered structure in black background. Hour markers and hands are all filled with white luminescence, which emit green light in the dark.

Cousteau Divers Dial

Observing from the right side and dial layout, you can understand the replica IWC Cousteau Diver watch is equipped with an Asian Valjoux 7750 movement, the small second hand is running on the subdial at 9 o’clock, 30-minute chronograph counter is at 12 and 12-hour chronograph counter is at 6, when you push the button at 2, the central second chronograph hand will run, press it again, the hand will stop, if you want the second hand to be back at 12, you should press the button at 4. Open the case back, whose engraving and patterns are also one of the attractive places, you will find the most beautiful part of the replica, the mechanical Asian 7750 movement, case back and clasp are all brushed, you will have a perfect touch feeling, black rubber strap is imported from Thailand, it is made of natural rubber material.

Cousteau Divers Buttons

What shocks me most is its accuracy, less than 7 seconds error each day, this is the result which most cheap replica watches can not compared.

Review of Replica IWC Portofino Ultimate MK Factory Version

Post author By Karren
Post date September 10, 2015
2 Comments on Review of Replica IWC Portofino Ultimate MK Factory Version

IWC Portofino, the necessary classic model in replica watch industry, it is the first choice when people are selecting the formal business watches that feature Sweeping Seconds and leather band. About the replica of IWC Portofino, how about it is, let us make a complete review here.

Simple and classic, this is the secret which Portofino has been keeping the success over the years. Three hands, coupled with an elegant date window, not too complicated and just appropriate, this is the symbol of elegant taste. Rugged self-winding automatic movement precisely and reliably counts the passage of time. 40mm rounded case makes the whole watch look more slim.

Genuine Watch Specification:

Reference: IW356501
Movement: 35110, automatic, 42-hour power reserve.
Crystal: Sapphire crystal that features two-sided AR Coating.
Water Resistance: 3 Bars
Case: Stainless Steel, 40mm in diameter, 9.5mm thick.

Here come the leading role we are going to discuss today, the left one is the best version of MK factory that uses 2892 movement, the right one is from an unknown factory, we call it X.

Dial Color:

The left is X factory, the right is MK version. You can see the MK has a little yellowish dial color, I have checked many pictures and found the genuine Portofino also has the similar dial color like MK.

Case Size:

Genuine watch is 40mm, MK version is 39.7mm and X factory is 39.8mm.

Case Thickness:

One obvious feature of IWC Portofino is that it is very thin, so many IWC Portofino replicas in the market today are too thick because they are equipped with 2824 movement, now those Portofino replicas with 2892 or 9015 movement inside are selling well. About the pictures below, the upper watch is 2892 version, the one at the bottom is 9015 version. Actually, genuine watch is 9.5mm thick, the Portofino replica with 2892 movement is 9.9mm, the 9015 version is 10.3mm thick. In my opinion, the thickness will become a very important factor when you are going to buy an IWC Portofino replica watch.

Letter Spacing of 6 and 12 Hour Markers:

Pictures order: MK-X factory-Gen. You can find the letter spacing of the two factories are a little larger than the genuine watch.

Date Window:

I think on the dial of replica watches, the biggest difference lies in their date window. See the picture below, MK Portofino has a smaller date font and its date font position is not correct. The Portofino from X factory has a silver background on date window, which is close to gen.

IWC Lettering:

The two versions have the same IWC lettering as genuine, which is light in color and the font is not that thick like the replica.

Caseback Engraving:

The caseback engraving on MK Portofino has the same lettering space as genuine. Besides, the caseback engraving is also very close to gen.

Clasp:

The Portofino replica from MK factory has a quality clasp, it is better than X factory. See the pictures below.

Movement:

Open the case back, there is the movement. You can see replicas coming from big and famous factories will engrave letters inside the case back, but small factory will not do this.

MK uses 2892 movement, while X factory uses 9015 movement, which has a better stability and low repairing rate, this is the reason why I really like watches that use Japanese movement.

Conclusion:

Two Portofino replica watches are all good, there are no obvious flaws, the imitating level is higher than Portuguese.

Here comes a group of pictures of my IWC watch.

This one is the leather strap model that has one big improvement in recent days, so it is the most beautiful replica IWC Mark 17. This post will introduce the watch from case, crystal, dial, case, clasp and movement.

Case & Crystal

The case uses good craftmanship and the crystal has been improved on the basis of past model. The inner blue anti-reflective coating is more obvious, so the crystal can turn obvious blue at a certain angle. Becase the AR coating is painted inside of the crystal, so you do not need to worry its scratch. This can not be seen on previous replica IWC.
