APS Factory IWC Pilot IW388101 Replica Watch Review

IWC Pilot’s watch in the IWC Pilot’s watch line has a blue dial, white number, three-register chronograph, day-date display, and a 41mm size. It’s understated as well as unpretentious, but quite simple to tell. It is very standard, so it is more difficult to replicate. Pilot’s Watches like this, even a little different in the dial size, font, hand length, or sub-dial depth, it’s noticeable to seasoned watch lovers. The latest version that has been released by the APS Factory is one of the most talked about Pilot’sWatch chronographs. But is it a really wearable Pilot’s replica Watch chronograph, or is it just a watch with cool specifications? Let’s do some rewriting for you.

Is this blue dial color right?

The blue dial of a pilot’s watch doesn’t have anything in common with the blue dial of a dive watch. IWC’s blue is a deep, complicated blue, neither the blue of a sub, nor electric blue, and certainly not a painted blue. The APS Factory IWC Pilot IW388101 replica watch has its blue dial turned the right way; it’s deeper than plain blue, indoor lighting makes it look nearly like deep sea blue. It only shows up clearly in natural outdoor light and it’s not suddenly super bright. The dial isn’t a totally flat, dead blue; it’s got a slight radial texture that shows changes in light and shadow at different angles, but still looks pretty fancy overall. Important here because a too-vibrant blue dial on a pilot’s watch would lose the tool-watch feeling. This version of APS factory will not fall into the trap.

Am IWC feeling good about the numbers and the hour markers?

IWC pilot watches can be recognized by the bold numbers, which are not heavy. Font size replicas with wrong proportions, it’s a widespread issue. The next level in the factory’s APS, the factory’s numerals are always precise and clearly defined, without burrs, and the line thickness is like a real watch, neither too thin nor too thick like a military watch. Minute mark ring is also very clean, nothing is blurry and no misalignment. The Dial Is pretty legible, and we can’t ignore that the effort put forth by the APS Factory regarding this aspect. Pilots are the most difficult to solve problems for chronographs are subdials that are too dim, subdials that are poorly placed, and incorrect proportions. This APS factory replica has a 6-9-12 subdials set up, the subdials have a small downward dip, but they are not flush with the dial. The print is clear and the details on the subdials are sharp. From the front, the subdials are easily distinguished from the main dial, which is an indication of a quality chronograph replica watch.

Is day and date window locate correctly?

Like the day and date, pilot’s chronographs also have a firm spot for the chronograph, but on the weekdays and dates is where the easiest flaws to spot. This APS factory replica, the day window was positioned well, the font size is about the same as the original and there is no cramping of the characters around the window. The date window numbers are center, aligned properly, magnified correctly, they don’t look fake. Adjusting the dial is practical, it lacks the smoothness of the real thing but isn’t horribly clunky either, which is totally fine for a fake. The hands have to be clear and legible on a pilot’s replica watch, decorations only come after: APs factory replica has hands of correct length and proportion with the minute hand placed in the right place and the hour hand does not look too small. Hands are neatly clean brushed, not roughly cut. Luminous stuff is evenly filled with light that’s bright enough for easy nighttime reading, with no cheap low-brightness feeling. The overall hand looks like a watch tool.

Case craftsmanship how is it?

This steel case is not a completely mirrored and shiny case, but rather a tool watch style. The APS factory is mainly brushed, the brightness is well controlled, and the shiny reflection of a dress watch does not appear. Lugs definitely sharp without any rounding. The chronograph pushers have a strong feedback as well, suited for pilots. The overall case proportions are pretty good, it doesn’t look too small or too out there on the wrist either. The real watch uses the IWC factory’s own 69385 chronograph movement, which can be said to be an unreplicable structure—a point worth mentioning. The APS factory replica watch adopts a relatively mature chronograph movement solution; and the see-through case back gives an artificial impression. It appears alright from a distance but to those knowing their movements it shall be observed that the differences can be seen up close. But a pilot’s chronograph is not about the movement to get noticed and mostly nobody would be looking at the case back. Replica chronographs have a normal timekeeping stability range and it’s perfect for daily wear.

Is it too thick? Is it tiring to wear

The pilot watch is not naturally a skinny one. For the series a 14.5 mm thickness is standard. APS factory watch has a pretty good center of gravity, so when I wear it, it naturally doesn’t lean forward a bit. The calfskin strap is comfy on the wrist and it doesn’t dig in. If your wrist is greater than 16cm, this size is fine for you; if it’s too light, a pilots’ chronograph might not suit you. To be frank,pilot watches are one of the best styles for hiding replicas. It’s not a hot model, it isn’t the kind of thing that makes you rich immediately. This APS factory model is really good in terms of the dial, proportions, overall style. To keep out of the eye of the IWC boutique shop employees, one can easily wear these without much suspicion. On the contrary, those who at least have a passing acquaintance with watches will think its a perfectly good, timeless timepiece. From the APS factory, this replica, watch has a steady dial, proper proportions and the unmistakably tool–watch feeling. It’s a practical choice that you can wear sleep soundly having and that you will never get tired looking at it.
