Review of the CLG Factory Cartier Santos WHSA0030 Replica Watch

Today, I’m going to review this Cartier Santos WHSA0030 replica watch from CLG factory. All of my opinions are based on my experience. I’ve been a watch enthusiast for five or six years and have come across many replica watches. I believe I have some advantages in this field and my knowledge is more extensive than those who are just starting out. This Cartier watch with an open dial is quite unique and rare. The rose gold square case and the red-brown crocodile leather strap give it a retro charm. Combined with the open dial, it’s a blend of retro and mechanical elements, creating a distinctive visual effect. Now, let’s take a look at how well CLG factory has replicated this Cartier watch!

Case and bezel: Rose gold plating over stainless steel base material.
Crown: Set with synthetic spinel.

CLG factory Cartier manufacturing process

1. The square openwork dial has a 95%+ resemblance to the original in terms of appearance, and the mechanical feel is also very strong. You can clearly see the movement of the gears. The structure is the same, but the parts of the CLG factory are not as finely polished as those of the original, but it is still acceptable and not particularly bad. The hands are polished blue steel sword-shaped hands. It can be seen that the CLG factory has also created this high-quality blue steel hand through high-temperature firing. The color is also very beautiful. When viewed from the side, you can see the dark blue luster, which contrasts with the rose gold in terms of temperature. The gem bearings on the dial are also very beautiful, and the distribution position is also restored to the original. The double-layer design is also very layered. The upper layer is rose gold, and the lower layer is sandblasted and frosted. It looks great.
2. Rose gold case. Most replica watches use gold plating technology, and the CLG factory is no exception. It also uses gold plating technology, with a base of stainless steel and a thickness of 18K rose gold. During the testing process, there was no oxidation or fading of the plating layer. Through testing, the standard is also relatively high.
3. Crystal: The CLG factory also uses synthetic sapphire crystal glass for the crystal, which is very scratch-resistant and has a coating treatment. The transparency is also extremely high, and the hardness is also very high.
4. The strap is made of crocodile leather. If you like to wear a soft and comfortable strap, you can also take a look at this watch. The color matching is also a very retro color matching. The red-brown strap paired with the rose gold color is very retro and full of charm, very elegant and tasteful. The strap is lined with cowhide material, which will not deform easily and does not need to be maintained frequently, which is also very convenient.
5. Crown: There is also a synthetic spinel embedded in the crown. Although it has not yet achieved the true anti-counterfeiting effect, it is not noticeable in daily wear. The so-called anti-counterfeiting effect is a unique feature of Cartier. When exposed to ultraviolet light, a red effect can be seen, that is, a color-changing effect. In this regard, the CLG factory still has room for improvement.

Cloning movement restoration degree

The CLG factory’s Cartier Santos WHSA0030 replica watch features a Swiss quartz movement with a remarkably high degree of structural accuracy. CLG collaborated with a movement factory in Dandong to develop and replicate over 180 replicable parts, achieving a highly accurate assembly. The mainplate features a beautifully crafted starry-sky radial pattern. The movement operates very quietly, and quartz movements are virtually error-free. This watch is a good option for those who prefer peace of mind and don’t want to wind their watches.
