A Detailed Review of the APS Factory Jaeger LeCoultre Replica Watch Master Ultra Thin 1218420
Today, we will undertake a comprehensive examination of the APS Factory Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin 1218420 replica watch. We will analyse its overall appearance, material quality, craftsmanship and movement to provide an in-depth assessment.
Dimensions and Case
Starting with the dimensions, the original specifications state a diameter of 39mm and a thickness of 8.1mm. The APS Factory replica measures 38.9mm in diameter and 9.1mm thick. These discrepancies are remarkably small, with a difference of only 0.1mm in diameter and 1mm in thickness.
The case is made of 316L stainless steel, a material known for its corrosion resistance and durability. The entire case is polished, giving it a shiny finish that tends to attract fingerprints. The crown logo is well executed, and the caseback features a unique code engraved on the left side that identifies each watch individually. The English engravings are deep, precise, and neatly arranged, demonstrating attention to detail.
Dial Details
The dial features a two-hand design with hour and minute hands that are half polished and half brushed. The second hand is fully polished. The hour markers are also polished, and both the hands and markers are smooth and burr-free. The overall finish is commendable. The logo is a three-dimensional metal applique that adds a touch of elegance. The text under the logo is oil-painted.
The dial has a subtle radial pattern, which may not be as obvious in the video. In reality, the pattern is visible, and the sub-dials have a CD pattern texture, both executed with remarkable finesse. The intricate details of the dial are better appreciated in the accompanying image.
Movement
The replica movement is powered by the Dandong 896 integrated movement. This movement is essentially the same as the 925 integrated movement found in the Moonphase Master model, differing only in the model number. The structure remains identical. The primary distinction between the two models is the model number. One is labeled 896, while the other is 925. In terms of stability, this movement is undoubtedly more reliable than the Moonphase counterpart. The watch's functionality is simpler, lacking a calendar or moonphase complication. It's a straightforward timepiece designed for everyday wear.
To wind the watch, turn the crown upwards. The gears on the back will rotate visibly during winding. Pulling the crown out one notch allows for time adjustment. With its straightforward functionality, this replica makes an ideal dress watch for daily dress wear
Strap and Buckle
The replica comes with a calfskin strap. Compared to alligator, calf leather is a bit stiffer, but users can upgrade to an alligator strap at a later date. The quick-release buckle makes changing the strap effortless. To remove the strap, simply pull down on the lever. Reattachment is equally simple. The clasp features a prominent logo and is secured by lifting both sides simultaneously. The inside of the buckle is free of imperfections. To close, simply insert the buckle into the corresponding hole on the strap and adjust the position to fit your wrist circumference.
In conclusion, the APS Factory Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin 1218420 replica watch represents an excellent option for those seeking a high-quality timepiece at an affordable price point. Its meticulous craftsmanship, attention to detail, and reliable movement make it a worthy contender in the replica watch market.
