Waterproof level classification: 50 meters for daily use (washing hands and splashing water); Swimming 100-200 meters; Professional diving of 300 meters+(requires screwing in the crown and one-way ring)
The “degree” of replication: to see if it restores the original case proportion, dial layout, hour mark font, crown/ear shape; Simultaneously prioritize modern movements (anti magnetic, long power) and sapphire crystal mirrors
Movement type: Automatic movement, worry free; Manual movements have a more retro operating feel (such as the Super Moon watch); Prioritize selecting movements certified by astronomical observatories or brands
Size adaptation: choose 38-40mm for wrist 16-17cm; consider 42-44mm for 18cm+
Additional hints
Waterproof rings are consumables, and it is recommended to undergo waterproof testing and replacement every 2 years; Avoid direct contact with hot water/steam environment
Limited edition replicas are more suitable for collection, but at a higher premium; Priority should be given to regular replicas for daily wear, as after-sales service and accessories are more convenient
