What do you think of our factory? Which one would you recommend for the new Seamaster 300m replica?

Hello, everyone! I’m CH Watch Industry. I’m here to share my passion for watches—breaking down the distinctions between authentic and replica timepieces, evaluating their movements, and helping you navigate the world of horology without getting lost.

Regarding the OR factory, launched by GF Factory to compete with the VS factory in the Omega market, it has clearly made its mark. While once considered a dark horse, OR has now firmly positioned itself as a leading contender. Why is that? The quality of the OR factory’s offerings is almost on par with, or even exceeds, the VS factory in certain areas. However, one downside is that the movement tends to be a bit louder. But, here’s the catch: the OR factory uses an integrated movement!

Why is everyone after integrated movements? What makes them so special?

The truth is, integrated movements are incredibly popular, and here’s why: First, it’s essential to understand that integrated movements are inherently more stable than deck-structure movements. The deck-structure movement used by the VS factory, however, has its own advantage—it is based on the original integrated 8500 movement. This design closely mirrors the original structure while faithfully replicating its functions!

The OR factory version uses an integrated movement, which eliminates the unnecessary structures found in deck-style movements, allowing for a more accurate restoration of the appearance. This integration not only achieves a higher level of visual fidelity but also improves power efficiency and stability, especially since there are no extraneous components like those in deck-structure movements. While replica manufacturers can’t claim groundbreaking technological advances, the integrated movement offers better performance in terms of energy potential and stability, especially compared to ultra-thin movements that still rely on the deck structure. Given that the price and technology of both options are similar, it’s clear why the integrated version has become so popular!

The OR factory excels in both craftsmanship and stability, ensuring the original version is closely replicated down to the finest details. The competition in the replica watch industry is fierce, and any misstep can result in being surpassed, especially with the current absence of the VS factory in the market. During this period, the OR factory is emerging strongly. When it comes to repairs, while a watchmaker can handle minor issues with the VS factory models, more complex problems can become a hassle, especially without the manufacturer’s support or replacement parts.

As for the OR factory’s Omega Seamaster 300M replica, the overall size remains true to the original, with a diameter of 42mm and a thickness of 13.8mm, matching the VS factory. The sapphire crystal is clear and highly transparent, just like the VS factory’s model. The scale and hands are filled with luminous material for better legibility at night. Additionally, the Omega logo’s arc, concave, and convex details are meticulously executed, ensuring a near-perfect visual experience.

The calendar adjustment on the OR factory’s replica is opposite to the original. For the original, you pull out the crown to the first position and turn it counterclockwise to adjust the date. However, on both the OR and VS factories, the crown is turned clockwise to adjust the calendar. When pulling the crown to the second position, the time adjustment follows the same counterclockwise direction as the original.Seamaster 300m.

As for the overall build, the watch is crafted from 316 stainless steel, with detail work nearly identical to the VS factory’s model. One notable improvement, however, is the polishing on the middle case curve. The angle treatment from the front to the side is more finely polished on the OR factory version compared to the VS factory. This attention to detail further demonstrates the OR factory’s dedication to excellence.

While both the VS and OR factories offer good stability, no watch is completely immune to issues. If the VS factory is unavailable when repairs are needed, it can be difficult to find solutions for larger issues, often requiring you to wait for the factory to return to the market, which can be quite inconvenient. On the other hand, the OR factory is consistently available for repairs and servicing, with the option to return watches directly for processing. This reliable after-sales support is one of the key reasons why many are choosing the OR factory today.Seamaster 300m.

When it comes to stability, the integrated movement from the OR factory stands out as being more stable and reliable than that of the VS factory. Although the sound may be slightly louder compared to VS, it’s still quite tolerable. If you’re a fan of the Omega Seamaster 300M, the OR factory version is definitely worth considering.
