The latest release from C Factory, the 126505 with the new 4131 movement, is drawing attention with its impeccable craftsmanship and authenticity. This movement has been available for some time, but only recently have we compiled an in-depth comparison between the original and the replica.
One key detail about the genuine 126505 is that its rose gold hue appears more of a golden color for both the dial markers and the bracelet, defying the expectations of a rose gold appearance. The replica from C Factory mirrors this feature seamlessly.
When it comes to design elements, the dial color, sunburst finish, and font printing of the replica are noteworthy, echoing the high standards set by the original 116518 series admired by collectors. Both the 116518 and the 126518 maintain a standard of craftsmanship that is difficult to surpass.
We conducted thorough research by comparing six original 4131 models, including the Cement Grey, Panda, and two-tone variations. Our findings indicated subtle differences in marker thickness and hand design, which C Factory has meticulously replicated.
For those skeptical about these claims, we encourage examining previous comparisons of the 126519 Cement Grey and the 126500 Panda models. C Factory’s extensive experience with authentic Rolex models is evident in their attention to detail and quality.
Over the years, C Factory has earned the trust of watch enthusiasts by adhering to a principle of only designing replicas using original models, ensuring each piece meets a high standard of quality. While our replicas may cost more than others, this commitment to authenticity deserves recognition and respect.
It’s notable that some factories attempt to replicate C Factory’s meticulous approach by sourcing even defective parts deemed unsuitable by C Factory’s standards. This commitment to quality echoes throughout each creation and underscores our dedication to watchmaking excellence.
