ZF Factory Jaeger-LeCoultre Master 1358480 Replica Watch Review

Simplicity and elegance have always been the replica of Jaeger-LeCoultre Master series. With its pure design and superb craftsmanship, this is a clean design and blue-dial Master watch that has established itself as one of the dress watch “apogeses. This is a watch that has been released by ZF Factory but how similar is this replica watch to the original one? We shall elaborate in terms of look and feel, materials, motion and experience wearing.

Does the ZF factory blue plate look like the original?

ZF Factory has done a terrific job of imitating this blue-dial Master watch. The case is 40mm round, and only half an inch in thickness, with incredibly fine proportions, fully duplicating the sleekness and grace of the original. The sunburst dial of the deep blue becomes very serene in varying light conditions and reflects the light in form of metal. The dial metal is too delicate, and has the appearance of radiating, as well. The markers and hands are mirror polished making them quite three-dimensional and with a clear layering touch. The replica watch from the ZF factory features a slightly lighter blue dial compared to the original, although in favor of navy blue, than the one on the real item, which is more of a midnight blue. The distinction however is nearly non visible in natural light. Also, the edges of the hands are a little more sharp, being not the hand-polished sense of the original, yet still, it still appears very high-end.

Is the precision steel texture of the replica watch made by ZF factory good?

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master has a long reputation of smooth lines and mirror-polished case and ZF Factory does not lose the standards in this matter. It is made of 316L stainless steel, whereby the outer bezel is shiny, sides are highly brushed and ends each other without a cut. The sapphire crystal is highly transparent at the edges where it has been treated to prevent anti reflection of light, and nothing goes through (this ensures it can be seen clearly even during the sunshine). But, as compared with the original product, the steel of the ZF Factory is a little more reflecting, and can be said to be a little brighter, unlike the soft warm lustre of the original. However, the overall impression is very good, weight distribution is perfectly balanced, and it does not stand out as a cheap product.

How does the FZ factory’s super clone machine perform?

This is an authentic Jaeger-LeCoultre 1358480 wristwatch with the in-house Jaeger-LeCoultre Cal. 896/1 automatics which measures only 3.98 mm through and is among Jaeger-LeCoultre’s thinnest movements. A modified architecture of Seagull movement is used, The ZF factory’s replica watch shares an almost identical structural layout with the original model’s movement.. The position of the balance wheel, the bridge design, and the finishing direction of the Geneva stripes are also good. The frequency measured is 28,800 vibrations per hour and power reserve is about 42 hours which is almost the same as the original product. The process of winding is painless and the noise of the rotor, which is automated, is well regulated, unlike the noise of a fake movement. It is only weakened by the fact that the engraving on the movement bridge is somewhat blurry as well as the font being rather thick and can easily be seen at the back, yet at a distance quite resembling.

How comfortable is the replica watch by Ultra-thin Master?

The 3600 steel bracelet comes in a blue-dial case and is extremely comfortable on the wrist, being lightweight, comfortable and well balanced by ZF Factory. Alligator patterned embossed leather makes the strap soft to touch and has a natural feel or sheen. The clasp used to fasten the folding has an easy and safe way of opening and closing. Total weight of the watch has been kept close to the original one and the watch is also a bit more comfortable to wear than the original since ZF has made some minor changes on the curvature of the lugs to fit the wrist better. The claim of waterproofing is checked at approximately 50 meters which is quite sufficient to make it wearable on a daily basis. It is not a professional waterproof watch, though can be used even during hand washing or in the rain. In general, this wristwatch is very practical as it can be used in both professional and everyday use.

What are the details of the replica of the ZF factory’ Jaeger-LeCoultre Blue Plate?

The concentration paid to details by ZF Factory is excellent and is nearly matching the initial. The dial is well printed with the appropriate spacing among fonts and the edges of the second sub-dial have been chamfered in a fine manner. Although the glowing material is a little paler than the original one, the color temperature is natural and no greenish shade can be found. The limited vices are the dissimilarity of the color of the screws on the transparent case behind the movement and a bit of excessive reflection of the rotor. These details are however only prominent when seen in strong light and when close-up and they do not pose a problem in relation to daily use. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master 1358480 replica watch presented by ZF Factory has captured the elegant soul of the original one in its finely established proportions, finely blended dial texture, and brilliant movement functioning. It is not only the leader in the looks but feel, timekeeping and visual attraction. Naturally, some minor variations to the original still remain including a bit thiner blue dial and a bit inferior finishing on the see-through case back, however, given that it costs a lot and the quality of the entire piece, such minor shortcomings can be overlooked.
