After the GM factory released the weight-increased version of Day-Date, many factories began to pay attention to the weight of their replica watches. Nowadays, many replica watches are almost the same in appearance as the original ones, but the weight is always lighter than the original version, because many watches now use precious metals, such as gold and platinum, while replica watches do not widely use precious metals. Replica watches will be very expensive if they use precious metals. Of course, if you are willing to pay a very high price, you can get a customized precious metal watch. Now the factory has thought of a way to control the cost of the watch and increase its weight, which is to add tungsten steel to the case and bracelet. Tungsten has a high density and is a low-cost way to increase the weight.
VS recently released the Yacht-Master 42mm 226659 Heavy Version, with the weight increased from the original 116g to 138g, TED is another code of VS factory. All future weighted watches from VS factory will use this code TED.
GOLD factory, a new factory, focuses on the production of Heavy Version watches. It does not use gold material, but also tungsten steel. The weight of the Yacht-Master produced in this factory is currently closest to the genuine product. The weight of the 40mm is 147g, 42mm is 157g
Clean factory and aps factory are also improving their products. Soon, the weight of their gold version of Daytona and gold version of Audemars Piguet will be closer and closer to the genuine products.
