There’s really not much left to introduce about this watch. I’ve already covered several factory versions on my blog before, including QF, Clean, and others. Now that Clean has been taken down, the number of super clone options available on the market has become much smaller. Honestly, going with QF is already enough. Of course, I’m not encouraging anyone to buy replica watches – I’m simply sharing my personal opinion and observations.

QF has also been continuously updating this model and releasing newer versions. They now offer a 4132 super clone movement with a free-sprung balance, which is definitely a major improvement for Rolex models with transparent casebacks. For open-caseback Rolex replicas, having a free-sprung balance makes the movement look much closer to the genuine watch.

It also seems that QF is preparing for an even bigger project – bringing free-sprung balance movements to more of their Rolex lineup. From what I know, many Daytona and Submariner models are already using these upgraded movements. If things continue developing at this pace, I honestly think QF may not be far from being targeted as well.

I just received news that APS was raided. Maybe it’s because their Audemars Piguet replicas had become too close to the genuine pieces.

QF vs CBD

These two factories are not only producing this Le Mans Daytona, but are also major competitors in the Rolex Day-Date market. However, I’ve never really liked the Rolex models made by CBD, especially their Day-Date replicas, because they still have some obvious flaws. I honestly don’t know whether the people online claiming that CBD’s Day-Date is “perfect” simply don’t notice how thick the bracelet is.

Another issue appears on the gold models. The gold plating and the inner material of the bracelet can develop visible cracks. This is mainly because CBD adds special weighting material inside the bracelet to achieve a heavier feel, but the plating layer and the inner material don’t fully bond together.

QF, on the other hand, has done a much better job on this gold Le Mans Daytona. So far, I haven’t noticed the same fine cracking issue between the gold plating and the inner layer of the bracelet.
