Cartier Santos Replica vs Gen:
Cartier Santos is also a sought after model in fake watches. In China, there are thousands of factories that make fake watches, but if we talk about the clone watches that make Cartier Santos with the best quality, they belong to BV factory and GF factory. The one we are going to review is the Santos Blue from the GF factory.
cartier santos fake vs real:
The size of this GF is the same as the original, 39.8*9.08mm, with the same material 316 stainless steel, polished glossy surface is very smooth, perfect clone of the original. But we look closely, we will find that the length of the GF second hand is longer than the original, the same font of the date numerals, and then the original numerals printed thicker. As for the blue color of the dial, the two pictures look different because the shooting environment is different, and different monitors also make the color look different, but comparing from the real thing, the color of the dial is already very close to the original.
The GF bracelet is good enough that it's even interchangeable with the original . If I were to say a downside, I guess the screws aren't polished as smooth as the originals.
how to spot a fake cartier santos watch:
We can clearly see through a side-by-side comparison of the GF and the original that the GF back cover is quite well made, the Cartier logo is exactly the same as the original, and the font and depth of the engraving, as well as the thickness, are all perfect replicas of the original.The GF's smartlink is also the same as the original, and both allow for a quick change of the bracelet strap. However, it seems that the gap of GF's quick release is a bit bigger and not as tight as the real one.
Compare the case sides: it looks like the original is better and more finely polished and brushed, and the sapphire on the crown is a lot of diamond cut facets, but the blue color of the GF is noticeably darker than the genuine one. This blue stone will turn red when exposed to UV light.Both GF and BV factories are the same as the original. But other dishonest traders use some inferior ones to pretend to be BV or GF, you can use this method to identify if you are cheated by the seller.
GF SANTOS DE CARTIER BLUE DETAILS
The dial and hands of the GF are very well done, even the center pivot of the hands is a 1:1 replica of the original. The beauty is that the luminescent coating on the hands is a little duller in color, whereas the original would be a little whiter.
The movement in the GF factory is the Japanese MIYOTA 9015, a movement known for its stability. Although the movement structure is different from Cartier's own caliber 1847 MC, the functions are the same, but if we open the back cover to detect the movement inside, we can still easily distinguish which one is real and which one is fake.
