Fully automatic mechanical replica watch usually refer to counterfeit automatic mechanical watches that are unofficial replicas of well-known brands (such as Rolex, Omega, Longines, etc.) in terms of appearance and movement. It is not an officially authorized “replica” of the brand, but a highly counterfeit product, with the core being an automatic winding mechanical movement.
1、 Core principle (consistent with genuine automatic meter)
By relying on the natural swing of the wrist during wearing, the semi-circular automatic pendulum (rotor) inside the watch is driven to rotate, and the winding power is provided by the gear set, without the need for batteries or manual winding.
2、 Quality and Price Grading
Low end (several hundred yuan)
Movement: Low cost domestically produced automatic movements (such as the Mingzhu movement) have large timekeeping errors (± 30 seconds/day), poor stability, and are prone to breakage.
Appearance: The material is rough (ordinary steel/alloy), and the mirrors are mostly ordinary glass, which is easy to scratch. The details (scale, pointer) have obvious flaws.
Mid end (500-2000 yuan)
Movement: A relatively stable domestic movement (such as Seagull basic model, NH35) with a daily deviation of ± 15-30 seconds.
Appearance: Stainless steel case, partially made of sapphire glass, with a restoration degree of 60% -70%. It can be worn daily, but the details cannot withstand scrutiny.
High end (2000-8000 yuan, large factories such as VS/C factory)
Movement: Customized replica movement (such as Dandong 3235/4130), with functions consistent with genuine products (calendar, timing, 72 hour dynamic storage), with a daily deviation of ± 5 seconds.
Appearance: 1:1 mold, 904L stainless steel, sapphire watch mirror, ceramic ring, finely polished details, difficult to distinguish authenticity from social distance.
