GR Factory Longines L3.890.4.06.6 Replica Watch Review

The Longines Conquest dive watch, aside from the Submariner, is arguably one of the most popular dive watch series in recent years. Especially this green dial GMT version, which combines a rugged diving style with a modern feel, making it a very popular model from Longines in recent years. GR Factory has just replicated this green dial ceramic bezel GMT Conquest. The Conquest’s appearance isn’t complex, but the difficulty lies in three aspects: the color of the ceramic bezel, the gradient effect of the green dial, and the overall case proportions. If any of these three aspects are not done well, the entire watch is ruined. How well does GR Factory do it? Is it worth buying? What aspects are done well, and what aspects will veteran collectors frown upon? I will discuss these points one by one in this article.

Does GR Factory’s gradient green have any color deviation?

The secret of the Conquest green dial is that the color is not pure green, and it has a gradient. The real green dial is increasingly turning deep green around the edges to the centre of the dial, as the dark green changes to a bright green as well has a metallic appearance. GR Factory Longines L3.890.4.06.6 Replica Watch has a natural gradient dial with a stable green with the appearance very natural. The brightness of the dial is well placed not excessively bright or yellowish; the light green in the middle is also clean and does not have a bluish shade. The overall color is very close to the original, a very pleasing green among replicas. The only minor issue is that the GR factory’s green dial has a slightly weaker metallic feel, while the bright areas of the genuine watch are more transparent. However, this is a high-level difference and not a major flaw.

Does the black ceramic bezel look cheap?

The trick of ceramic bezels has never played well in the replica watch industry as once the black ceramic color is not right it will be easily noted that the watch is not authentic. The GR factory’s ceramic bezel has excellent brightness control, not too reflective, and doesn’t look like plastic. The proportion between the green bezel saturation and that of the authentic product is near and the gold printing on the numerals is clean and of similar color. Nonetheless, the ceramic bezel is a bit brighter than the original at a specific range of angles. This is a problem encountered by all mid-range replica factories, not unique to GR. The overall quality is perfectly acceptable, neither cheap nor jarring. The Conquest 43mm is a very sporty size, almost the size of mainstream dive watches. The GR factory’s case proportions are well controlled, without obvious domed cases or excessively wide lugs. The brushed lines are clear and powerful. While the chamfered edges of the case aren’t as smooth as the genuine article, they are above average for a replica watch. It doesn’t feel particularly heavy on the wrist because the GR factory’s watch is slightly lighter than the genuine article; however, it’s not so light as to feel cheap. It has the weight of a sports watch without tiring the wrist. There are two challenges with the Conquest dive watch bracelet: the tightness of the links and the chamfered edges. The GR’s bracelet has a suitable tightness, not wobbling like a cheap steel watch; the metallic sound is not loud; the brushing direction is uniform, looking very clean; the folding clasp is also very secure, without any noticeable looseness. However, the chamfered edges of the GR factory’s links are a bit harsh, not as rounded as the genuine article. This is a common difference in replicas and not considered a quality issue.

How does the super clone movement perform?

The genuine watch uses the L844.5, Longines’ latest upgraded in-house GMT movement. Replica watch obviously can’t replicate this. The GR factory uses a super-cloned GMT movement, which allows independent adjustment of the GMT hand. It has the function, but the structure is completely different. The advantages are that the functions are genuine and usable, the timekeeping is stable, the accuracy is normal, the winding feel is smooth, and the power reserve is approximately 40 hours. The disadvantages are that the noise is slightly louder than the genuine watch, the balance wheel position is different, and the difference is visible through the see-through case back. However, this model has a closed case back, so it doesn’t affect wearing it. The feel of adjusting the GMT is not as sophisticated as the genuine watch. However, for everyday wear, the GR factory’s movement is perfectly adequate and won’t be a hindrance.

How heavy is it to wear?

The Conquest 43mm is a sporty watch. GR factory replica watch has controlled the weight well; it’s not heavy on the wrist and won’t put pressure on it. The crown is more rounded than previous replicas, and I didn’t find any sharp edges or play. It is maybe 12.9mm in thickness which is not all that thin but the point of the dive watches is not thinness. All in all it is a sporty touch with a heavy weight however it is not heavy on the wrist and is very comfortable. What are the shortcomings that watch lovers need to know about? This is objective evaluation and I will deal with all the deficiencies. the metallic feel of the green dial is a little weaker than that of the real one, the ceramic bezel is rather shiny in bright conditions, the bevels on the bracelet are a little sharp and the gold ring on the date window is a little light. It is not big problems, yet these watch enthusiasts can identify them. In watches such as Longines Conquest, the general feel is more vital and the GR factory has done an excellent work with the same. It does not feel artificial or inexpensive; as you use it, people will not scrutinize that you are wearing a green dial GMT dive watch but not a fake one. It has some differences in the details, but in general, it is worthy to purchase.
