Bezel font details: At the 12 o’clock triangular section, including the top and bottom corners as well as the sharp tips, all are processed with rounded edges to match the original exactly. Font depth is consistent with the genuine, sunken by 0.13mm, with additional edge rounding treatment for a refined finish. The electroplating color has been digitally calibrated; while most on the market offer pure gold tone, the authentic slightly carries a hint of red, resulting in a more comfortable visual impression.
Case appearance: Entirely crafted from 904L steel, perfectly replicating the GMT case shape and improving the rotating bezel feel. The crown features an embossed crown 👑 effect. The case back matches the original precisely, with identical polishing, brushing, and case-bottom hairline finishes. The fit between case back and case body is nearly indistinguishable from the genuine. Crown-to-case gap can be compared directly. Internal engravings across the entire series have corrected the tail of the letter “R” to be slightly raised. If being extremely critical, the internal engraving texture may not be as fine as the original due to limitations in domestic laser technology and equipment.
This C Factory release focuses on the GMT 126710. As the first original used for mold-making was completely damaged, a new reference watch had to be purchased mid-process, leading to slight differences in details. However, throughout the comparison process, detailed images and side-by-side analysis will still be provided transparently without avoiding key points. Although minor discrepancies may exist between samples, overall craftsmanship remains highly consistent. Future releases will continue to adopt this genuine-vs-fake comparative approach for full transparency—acknowledging flaws when present, reinforcing strengths when absent.
Due to variation between reference watches, calendar font may differ slightly; your understanding is appreciated. Beyond ceramic bezel manufacturing, C Factory also places significant emphasis on dial text printing and calendar wheel quality. Due to space limitations, these aspects won’t be elaborated upon here.
