The reason why Super clone watch can be indistinguishable from the real thing lies in their high degree of replication of details. The following are specific manifestations of their details: Appearance details: Case: The diameter, thickness, lug width, curvature, and other data of the genuine watch case are usually precisely measured. Stainless steel alloys similar to the genuine product, such as 904L stainless steel, are used to replicate the weight, texture, and corrosion resistance of the genuine product. Through multiple processes of brushing and polishing, the contrast effect between the matte and mirror finish of the genuine watch case is replicated. Some edges of the case are also chamfered to provide a smoother feel.
Dial: The texture, color, font, and scale of the dial will be as consistent as possible with the genuine product. The font is laser-engraved, clear and uniform in thickness, and the spacing and length of the scale are also consistent with the genuine product. Some high-end super clone watches also pay attention to the effect of the luminescent coating, with the color, brightness, and duration of the luminescent material being as close to the genuine product as possible.
Pointer: The shape, length, width, and angle of the tip of the pointer will be replicated, and some will also undergo chamfering and luminescent coating treatment, making them similar to the genuine product in both appearance and function.
Crown: The logo on the crown is usually created using laser etching technology, with the size, position, and depth of the logo closely resembling that of the genuine product. Additionally, the shape, texture, and rotational feel of the crown are also carefully imitated to mimic the authentic product.
Strap and clasp: The strap is often made of stainless steel or leather, which is the same or similar to that of the genuine product. The strap links are usually individually crafted, rather than stamped, ensuring smoother movement at the joints. The design and craftsmanship of the clasp are also replicated, including the shape of the clasp, logo engraving, and the feel of opening and closing.
Movement details: High-end super clone watches utilize cloned automatic movements that mimic the architecture of genuine movements. Not only are the positions of the sub-dials and the vibration frequency of the balance wheel (such as 28,800 vibrations per hour) consistent with the genuine product, but even the engraving of the oscillating weight visible through the watch case back is identical. Some models with complex functions can also mimic the GMT, chronograph, moon phase, and other functions of the genuine product.
Other details: For instance, some super clone watches feature CNC precision machining on the edges of the calendar window, and the calendar font is designed to closely resemble the original product. Others pay attention to the magnification and position of the magnifying glass (such as Rolex’s Cyclops magnifying glass) to make it consistent with the original product.
