BV Factory Cartier WJSA0013 Replica Watch Review

Recently, watch enthusiasts have been asking about the Cartier Santos with its gold case and diamond bezel, especially the new model released by BV factory. It has a gold case, full diamond bezel, Roman numeral dial and a free leather strap making it look more than luxurious and tasteful. It is however so eye catching to such an extent the danger of it falling short is something to fret over as compared to the ordinary steel version.So, how well did BV factory do this time? Are the diamonds evenly set? Is the gold color pure? Will it look obviously fake when worn out? Today, I’ll give you a clear answer from the perspective of a veteran replica watch collector.

Is there a risk of duds with the gold case and diamond bezel from BV factory?

First, the most direct impression: the appearance of this BV factory replica watch is quite good, but there are some minor flaws.The color of the case of the gold is also a point of note; it is electroplated, and the case is not too yellow or too coppery, it is rather clean and bright, a little brighter than natural 18K gold, but not noticeable as imitation. It glitters in the bright daylight, nevertheless, it suits every-day use.The diamond bezel determines whether this watch will look good in public. The BV factory uses a micro-pave technique for its diamond setting; the diamonds are well-cut, without large, irregularly reflecting light, and the arrangement is fairly neat, without any tooth-like protrusions—much better than some second-tier brands. However, upon close inspection, the difference from the original jewelry-grade setting is noticeable, mainly in the diamond’s brilliance and density, but this is within acceptable limits. The overall appearance is solid from a distance, but up close it has a slightly replica feel, but it’s not a complete disaster.

How is the dial detail reproduction?

Cartier’s most classic feature is its white dial, and the quality of this one is immediately apparent. The dial on the BV Factory Cartier WJSA0013 Replica Watch is decent, above average. The Roman numerals are of suitable thickness, neither too thick nor blurry, and the printing edges are clean. The minute track printing is accurate, much better than older versions. The blued steel hands are a bit light in color, while the original is darker.The hands of the BV factory are bluish in light, which is not a disagreeable sight. I would rate the general reproduction of the dial an 8.5/10; the dial is of a very good effect at long distances, but it has simple faults at close quarters.Some people ask if the gold color looks too fake? This is a common question about gold-cased replica watches. The BV factory’s gold color is normal and safe; it won’t look particularly fake yellow. Because it’s the difference between real gold and gold plating, it looks fine under warm indoor lighting, but under strong outdoor light, the BV factory watch will be brighter and more reflective than the original. From a distance, it looks perfectly fine, especially with the diamond bezel, giving it a high-profile style that others generally won’t suspect much.Nevertheless, close observers of the watch industry would notice that there are two slight differences: the gold is a little lighter than the original, and the fire of the diamonds is not that sharp. Put simply, it will not make you the same, but you can not hope that it will be exactly like the real one.

Does the BV factory replica watch have any obvious shortcomings?

While the Santos watch case design is simple, its craftsmanship is quite meticulous, incorporating both square and round shapes with numerous curves. The BV factory’s case quality is quite good, with smooth, rounded edges that won’t feel harsh on the wrist. The bezel transitions naturally, without any harsh shadows. The brushed finish is in the correct direction and even, although upon closer inspection, it appears slightly coarser than the original—a consistent style of the BV factory. The metal edges are free of burrs and excessive polishing, a quality achieved better than the gold bar factory.All in all, the craftsmanship of the cases is at an excellent level, beautiful, and comfortable. The initial one uses an automatic mechanical movement and therefore the replica will not imitate a true Cartier movement.The BV factory typically uses Seagull’s basic movement to decorate the dial, and this time is no exception. The movement is stable, keeping accurate time without jumping, jamming, or stopping. A daily error of less than 10 seconds is normal. Winding feels slightly stiff, but the automatic winding is perfectly adequate once worn.One aspect that must be mentioned is that it has a gold case and diamond bezel; therefore, it appears very heavy, which is why most people may think the watch is heavy as well. Fraudulent gold cases are however usually plated and they do not have the hefty feel of authentic 18K gold. It will not wear out your hands at the end of the day, but it is much lighter than the original.

How is the wearing experience?

To be honest, this replica watch is anything but understated. The gold case and full bezel of diamonds are undeniably high-profile.Nevertheless, the Cartier square case in itself has some French style, and thus it feels luxurious at the same time it is not as aggressive to wear. The size is also well-controlled in regards to the wearing experience; it is not heavy on the wrist, and is lightened so that there will be no issues wearing it all day. This watch will suit a shirt, or an inconspicuous luxury or informal business fashion. However, it is not the dress of your choice should you wish a more low-profile appearance. It looks grand when seen at a distance yet close to it watch connoisseurs can identify three differences. First, the diamonds’ fire isn’t as sharp as genuine diamonds; second, the gold tone is lighter, and the reflection is stronger; third, the blue of the hands is lighter, appearing bluish under strong light. These are normal differences in watches, not flaws, just that they’re not quite authentic. Generally speaking, they won’t give away the truth unless you show them to a jewelry enthusiast. If you like the Santos and appreciate the sophisticated, high-profile style of a gold case set with diamonds, this BV version is definitely worth it. The appearance is fine, the gold is secure, the diamonds are neatly set, the level of authenticity is very high, and it’s acceptable, even high-scoring, for both wearing and viewing. It’s more suitable for those who want a high-profile look, want to match fashionable clothing, have a limited budget but still want to experience the feel of a jewelry watch. It’s not suitable for those who particularly value the precision of the gold, the brilliance of genuine diamonds, or prefer an extremely understated style.
