Roger Dubuis, with its bold and avant-garde Excalibur collection and racing DNA, dominates a unique niche. It represents the pinnacle of intricate craftsmanship and carries a premium price tag, making it an unattainable work of art for most enthusiasts. Precisely because of this, China’s replica watch market‘s attempts at Roger Dubuis have always been the ultimate test of a factory’s design capabilities and dedication to craftsmanship.
When only a handful of factories have ventured into this area long-term, and choices are scarce, every single upgrade grabs the attention of seasoned collectors. This time, we’re focusing on the NEW factory’s Roger Dubuis, which claims to be a comprehensive renewal. Can this 2.0 version, evolved from the old BBR factory, truly become the ultimate substitute for players, living up to its promise of superior craftsmanship? In this in-depth review, RAY will break it down for you.
NEW Factory Market Background
For a long time, the Roger Dubuis replica scene was nearly a two-horse race. On one side, there was the YS factory, with its high prices focusing on complex functions—its top double tourbillon replica even broke the $2000 mark. On the other side, the BBR factory was known for its relatively accessible replica watch price and overall balance, serving as the main entry point for many to experience Roger Dubuis designs.
However, while popular, the BBR factory’s Excalibur Spider V4 had well-known flaws like an incorrect case diameter and some dial detail inaccuracies. Now, BBR has split into two factories: one produces Audemars Piguet tourbillons and other watches, and the other is the NEW factory, dedicated solely to Roger Dubuis. Its goal is to produce the Roger Dubuis 1:1 Best Version Replica Watch.
How is the craftsmanship of the NEW factory Roger Dubuis replica watch?
The NEW factory version made crucial adjustments to the case dimensions. Compared to the older BBR V4’s exaggerated over-46mm diameter and 56.6mm lug-to-lug, the new version is more restrained visually, aiming closer to the genuine 39mm. On the wrist, that overly large, Abrupt feeling is effectively reduced, offering a better fit.
Even more impressive is its controlled thickness. The NEW factory replica has been optimized to a slimmer profile much closer to the original. Compared to the old V4’s 14.20mm, it’s further refined, allowing the watch to slide more smoothly under a cuff, boosting everyday wearability.
Moving to the dial, we see significant improvements in several details criticized on the old V4. On the tourbillon subdial, the space between the 50-minute marker and the outer minute track has been properly recreated, so the layout no longer looks crowded. The previously incorrect “Swiss Made” font and printing position have been fixed. The most iconic star-shaped skeletonized structure shows much better left-right symmetry. The polished bevels and brushed sides create a clear contrast of light and shadow.
How is the movement quality of the NEW factory replica watch?
It now houses a deeply modified automatic chronograph movement. Through the sapphire crystal case back, you can see the NEW factory put considerable effort into mimicking Roger Dubuis’s signature star-shaped rotor and bridge decoration. The bridges feature detailed sandblasting and beveling, plated with the appropriate color. The reflective quality under light is commendable, greatly enhancing the viewing pleasure of the open back.
Functionally, the chronograph’s start, stop, and reset operations are crisp. The central chronograph seconds hand runs smoothly without noticeable stutter or lag, meeting the basic operational needs of a Complicated function replica watches. The winding feel is tight, and time-setting is smooth. Overall, its mechanical quality ranks high among replica products.
Why buy the NEW factory replica watch?
After comprehensive evaluation, the NEW factory’s progress is indeed very successful. It accurately corrected the main complaints about the size and dial details of the old BBR V4. The overall finishing and craftsmanship have been elevated a notch, achieving a crucial leap from looking similar to capturing the spirit.
Who is the replica watch suitable for?
