THB Factory Cartier WSSA0048 Replica Watch Review

Among Cartier men’s watches, the Santos is definitely a must-see. It is neither as stiff as the Tank, nor as round as the Ballon Bleu. It is something of a hybrid in the middle: a tool watch, and yet a dress watch also, with a square shape, exposed screws, and Roman numerals, a style very different. The blue dial version is the newest, most popular version in all of Santos collection. The reason is simple: the blue dial makes the steel case less cold, and looks more substantial than the white dial, which is quite suitable for daily wear. But it is also a bit difficult to replicate a Santos, because it’s not the shape of the watch it is the texture on the dial, the sizes of the case, the control of the blue color, the feel of it. One small slip-up and it starts to appear cheap, boring, possibly like a knock-off. So how did they do this time, THB Factory? Is it something you can confidently wear, or just for show? Below is a complete replica watch from my point of view.

Is it real at first sight – Santos?

When it comes to Santos, all you can see at first are his proportions and form. The case is too square and the corners too sharp There’s no need for the corners to be too square and sharp; if they’re too round, it lacks the rough and rugged quality of the Santos. The very first time i laid eyes on the thb brand watch, I got the impression that the proportions were just so. It’s not a square but it’s got its own rounded corners and edges that aren’t too hard. Connection between upper and lower lugs and middle case is also smooth, no heavy top look. It doesn’t look like a classic Santos, first off. It’s certainly not a square case on a Cartier! Blue dial is the soul of this watch, also the easiest place to make a mistake. A true blue dial is a deep, sunburst blue that has a gradient under light, but not too bright. The most terrible thing about a replica is to have the blue look like an electric blue or a purplish blue; as soon as you see it, it looks fake. The blue dial from THB factory replica watch is deep blue. Under natural light it shows a regular blue with no purple or green undertones and under light you can see sunburst but not too shiny I can say this with certainty: very secure, absolutely no risk of trouble.

Is there dial layering enough?

The Santos blue isn’t a simple flat blue, there’s something more special here – that blue is layered, brighter in the middle and just a touch darker towards the ends, all while its roman numerals are popped up off that dial as 3D reliefs. The THB factory’s replica watch dial has layers and it’s not flat, you can tell there are shades and it’s not just one color. Roman numbers are clear with definite edges. They’re kind of three dimensional, not too exaggerated. The overall dial looks clean and good, not low budget. The THB factory’s roman numerals are correctly scaled, thinner, and neat. Do not see the numbers seem to float above or have blurred edges on the dial. There are also correct hours markers, without being misaligned or not symmetrical. This is really important for being worn every day, because someone who knows about watches would notice right away if the Roman numbers on it were wrong. The Santos’s hands are typical Cartier style-thin and elegant and looking almost sword like. THB factory hands are just right: its hour and minute hands have the proper length, and the minute hand is more or less hiding behind the hour mark area, making it look pretty. The blue steel tone is pretty deep, not too light or purplish.

Are the replica watch placement details accurate?

The WSSA0048 has a 6 o’clock date window, this is an area with a lot of discrepancy chances. THB Factory Cartier WSSA0048 Replica Watch has the date window at the right place, not too up high and not too down low. Clean lines on window edges, no roughness, font thickness of the date is moderate, not overly heavy. It’s practical and attractive both. Santos exposed screws are a signature design element. Screws are crooked, different in size, and have different slots. This problem is obvious. The screws from the THB factory are fairly tidy in general. Angle uniformity may not get to the perfect level like the real one, but it looks completely fine once being worn. The bezel edges are also as smooth and clean. The overall bezel finish looks fairly solid, not cheap like the cheap version. Santos itself is not a thin watch, but it is always comfortable to wear. This THB factory version fits the wrist well, the case shape is smooth, there is no digging on the back of the hand. The thickness is pretty good and it’s not too bulky. The biggest problem with square-cased watches is that arent fit well – and the THB factory has done a good job here:

Blue alligator leather strap quality?

It comes with a blue alligator leather strap, this really affects the looks. The blue leather strap provided by the THB factory is suitable for the watch dial, and it is not jarring. The leather isn’t top quality, but there’s no obvious plasticky texture and feels very natural As an original leather strap, it is fine. If you are picky about the leather straps, you can replace them with even better alligator leather later which will further improve the overall quality. Most people just know Cartier tank and ballon bleu, but santos is more recognized by connoisseurs. Under normal social distance, nearly everyone will believe it. Even the people familiar with Cartier find it hard to tell its authenticity other than when holding it in their own hands for thorough inspection. Security wise, it is low risk. THB Factory’s Cartier Santos replica has a stable blue dial color, a decent case shape, and a clean dial that isn’t likely to be a dud, so it’s good for daily wear for a long time.
