AF Factory Longines L2.773.4.71.6 Replica Watch Review
The Longines Master Collection Moonphase Chronograph was always the model with more complicated functions at a lower price point among genuine watches. Moonphase, chronograph, calendar; it’s more a dress watch. People who like to watch will always take a second look. In particular, this silver dial version with blue hands has caused many discussions. In the replication world, a few factories would like to try their hand at the Master Collection Moonphase Chronograph due to its complex nature, busy dial, and tricky numbers. If that’s not done well the whole watch seems fake: Many people who like replica watches are wondering if this version made by factory AF is something that you can actually wear or just something nice to look at. Analyze it for me in detail:
Is that still the aura of being in charge?
The 42mm silver dial isn’t too obvious about it; the Master series add a layer of class via how the dial gets stacked up and the colors on those little stick-hands. The overall proportions of AF Factory replica watch version are good, there is no crowding on the dial even with many functions. From afar, it is very similar to a usual Longines Master collection complicated model, clean and elegant, but hard to notice that it is a replica. This watch is difficult to handle because of its dial. The 3-eye layout coupled with the moonphase window could quickly become looked-at, however, the AF Factory version is quite conservative. Roman numerals as thick as the original, no cheap feeling; blued-steel hands have a coolness, blue reflection under bright light is not glaring; moonphase disk color is reasonable, the arrangement of the starry dot is normal and not distracting; the date, day, and month windows are in place, the functional logic is clear, and although there is a lot of information on the dial, it is not very difficult to read. But the three dimensional layering of this dial is still lacking compared to the original, the real model has a much fuller depth under light, the AF Factory version looks flat and has an obvious printed texture when viewed up close. This is a typical situation for confusing dials at this cost range.
Is it the is the up to snuff on the case and polished brushing?
The cases in AF factory’s master series have always been kind of stable and the same goes for this one. AF Factory Longines L2.773.4.71.6 Replica Watch: This clean and sleek case line has smooth sides that are not cheap and stocky. Polished parts are shiny but not too shiny, overall looks feel more like dress watches. It’s curved naturally so it’s comfy on the wrist and it won’t lift up. With 14.2mm, it’s not too thin, it is also a moonphase chronograph, the original watch is not a thin watch.
Is the movement going well?
AF factory replica watch adopts a super-clones appearance movement, this movement is based on an already mature chronograph movement, its stability is also considered very mature by the replica community. Timekeeping is fine, the chronograph, moon phase and calendar all function properly, not just for looking at it. Wear it for a day or two and there will be no problem, this is also very important for complicated watches. But note that the movement generally intends to improve functional alignment and appearance restoration, not structural restoration. When you look at it through the see-through back it’s pretty obvious to someone with some experience, mainly because it has the general shape of the bridge and the finish details, which is not something AF factory is known for.
Who it’s good for to wear?
Many folks fret over if the Master would appear too old, truth be told, this version with the silvery dial and blue pointers gives quite the opposite impression. 42mm isn’t tiny according to now’s way things should be done, those blue steel hands add a touch of liveliness, so it doesn’t seem much like something worn by an executive in the middle of their life. But it is still more dressed up, so it would look great on shirts, suits, and business casual. If you are into pure sporty or streetwear styles, this watch will simply not match that vibe. This AF Factory Master moonphase chronograph has the main problem being the dial is shallower compared to the original, the caseback being transparent will fool no one with the conscience of experienced collectors, and the overall thickness could be a bit cumbersome for those with slimmer wrists. And that last point is that this might not be a perfect replica but rather a watch which can maintain itself fine at an arm’s length distance as compared to being closely examined. If you just want a well-made and stylish and wearable Maserati complication, AF factory version is still an option, at least doesn’t ruin the resemblance to the longines. But if you want a very detailed dial, a caseback that looks almost like the original and a watch that holds up under close inspection, this one won’t do. The Master Moonphase Chronograph has yet to reach the peak levels of replica watches on the market.
