Hey there, watch enthusiasts! Brace yourselves because the 37mm IPF Royal Oak version is setting new standards. Released hot off the press, it’s designed with such precision, you’ll need a magnifying glass to find any flaws.
Let’s talk construction: IPF has maintained the three-piece structure of the original. It feels like they have secretly been whispering with the original designers. Everything about the casing and assembly screams ‘authentic’.
The bracelet is where the magic happens. Made from original molds, the IPF watch features a meticulously brushed finish on the strap, ensuring it won’t turn your wrist into a crime scene. It’s as comfortable as it is detailed, boasting a buffer design that snugs perfectly around your wrist.
The clasp is the final piece of the puzzle, mirroring the original’s design, texture, and engraving like a well-rehearsed magic trick. But the true show-stopper? The dial. IPF’s face craftsmanship and color details are so on point, putting it next to the original is like playing ‘spot the difference’ – you’ll come up blank.
Now, onto the heartbeat of the watch: the movement. IPF uses an exclusive original 3120 integrated movement. Unlike those fake plate-decorated movements, this one is the real deal. The calendar jumps instantly in the opposite direction, a key differentiator from the mainstream 9015 movement. The solid central axis of the hands and the seamless finishing are just cherries on top.
The movement’s back is not for show either. Every gear, including the winding chain’s tiny wheels, is functional and true to the original. The balance wheel lines up at the 7 o’clock position, offering a power reserve equivalent to a full 41 hours. And don’t get me started on the shock absorber and details that mimic the original movement.
And just so you know, IPF nailed the hardest part – the rotor color. Many competitors got it wrong, making it reddish, while IPF perfected the golden hue just like the authentic one. It’s clear IPF has a genuine commitment to detail.
The IPF Royal Oak watch: more than just a timepiece, it’s an exacting replica that says ‘game over’ to second-rate copies.
