Hello everyone, I am purewatches, a reviewer who has been in the replica watch circle for many years. Today I want to talk to you about a high imitation watch that has recently caught my eye——BV factory new Cartier Santos men’s watch。
To be honest, Cartier is not considered “top-notch” in the high imitation circle, but precisely because of its simple design and high recognition, it has become a “touchstone” for testing replica skills. The answer sheet handed over by BV Factory this time really surprised me.
first lookmovement——It didn’t take the cheap route, but went straight to theCitizen 9019 integrated movement imported from Japan. Note that it is an “integrated” movement, not the fake 9019s on the market that are modified with plywood. This movement not only has stable running time and long-lasting power, but also has a very low repair rate. The cost alone is nearly 1,000 Hong Kong dollars higher than the ordinary version. For people who play watches, the movement is the heart, and BV Factory has made this move very seriously.
Look againAppearance details. The case and bracelet are made of316L medical grade stainless steel, brushed and mirror polished alternately, the transition is natural and the hand feels solid. iconicEight screw ringNot only is the position precise, but even the chamfering and polishing of the screw heads is meticulous, giving off that tough industrial aesthetic.

Here comes the point——Date window at 6 o’clock, the numbers are centered, the fonts are sharp, and the “SWISS MADE” logo is symmetrical and must be facing the light to see clearly. This kind of careful thinking is the key to moving high imitation to “refined imitation”.
Many people say that Cartier design is too simple? True, butSimple is the hardest to imitate. There is no complex function to hide, every line and every chamfer is exposed to the sun. The BV factory dared to make Santos like this this time, which shows that they have confidence in the craftsmanship.
Finally, let’s be honest: genuine Santos easily costs 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, but this version from the BV factory offers more than 95% of the visual and wearing experience at one-tenth of the price. For those who have a limited budget and love Cartier style, it is definitely a rational and decent choice.
