Description

R+ Factory Rolex m52506-0006 5A Replica Watches

I have always been quite interested in the reissue models of the Rolex series. For instance, the Perpetual 1908 model, which is a retro style, is a popular choice among dress watches. Named after the original 1908 model, it directly corresponds to the year when the Rolex brand was officially established. Therefore, since its inception, it has been a tribute to Rolex’s own origin. The Rolex Perpetual 1908 model m52506-0006 made by R + Factory has perfectly restored the old flavor of this retro model, and its sense of refinement is also top-notch.

How is the wearing experience?

The original m52506-0006 uses a 950 platinum case. This R + watch takes a route of a quality alternative, so the case is made of 904L platinum-plated stainless steel. In terms of weight, it is very close to the heavy feel of the original platinum. The transition between matte and polished is also well done, with a brushed finish. The details of the semi-concave and semi-circular arch on the bezel are also done very well. It feels very warm and smooth to the touch and is also quite substantial. The 39mm diameter of the watch is within the range of the golden size for dress watches. It can be hidden in the sleeve of a shirt without any swelling, which is the snug fit that a dress watch should have.

Ice blue grain pattern dial

The core selling point of the original m52506-0006 is its ice blue grain-patterned dial, which was a signature design of Rolex’s early dress watches around 1908 and is also the area where replica watches are most prone to failure. This model from R+ Factory is truly well-restored. The dial uses a three-dimensional embossing process that imitates machine engraving. From the small seconds sub-dial at 6 o ‘clock as the center, the three-dimensional texture extends towards the edge, featuring a genuine grain-like raised texture. Under the light, a gradually changing ice blue luster can be seen, which is very close to the original version. The Arabic numerals at the 3, 9 and 12 o ‘clock positions are three-dimensional metal labels. The beveled and polished edges can reflect light, and the wavy border of the small seconds dial at the 6 o ‘clock position is also restored very well. The hands are Breguet style hollowed-out hour hands and sword-shaped minute hands. The luminous coating is very uniform, and the tone of the light in the dark is consistent with the original version. The Rolex Crown Logo on the dial is just a little smaller than the original version, and it’s completely unnoticeable at social distances.

How is the performance of the Super Cloned 7140 movement?

The original 1908 was equipped with the Rolex-exclusive 7140 movement, while this watch is fitted with a replica of the 7140 automatic movement. The transparent case back allows one to see the Geneva stripes and pearl patterns of the movement, which are decorative finishes. The regularity and quality of the patterns are very high. I measured the power reserve and found that it can run for about 60 hours when fully loaded, which is a little shorter than the original version’s 66 hours. The timekeeping accuracy is quite good. After wearing it for a week, the daily error has been stable within 8 seconds.

Crocodile leather watch strap

This watch is paired with a blue alligator leather strap. The original one was brown, but R+ factory customized the color. The inner lining is green calfskin, echoing Rolex’s classic green. The folding buckle is made of platinum-plated stainless steel. When fastened, it has a very crisp damping sensation and does not become loose.
Although it is a formal replica watch, it is water-resistant to 50 meters. You don’t need to take it off during daily activities that come into contact with water.

If you are a player who “wants to wear a Rolex dress watch but doesn’t want to spend hundreds of thousands of yuan on the original version”, this R+ Factory 1908 replica watch is really worth it. Cloning a dress watch is actually more difficult than a sports model, but it is a high-end quality Rolex 1908 that can deceive most people. Its luxury has been restored to about 70% to 80%, and it has a very high cost performance.
