Blue balloons are the darling of the fashion industry. Which one is better, the blue balloons from AF factory or 3K factory? Don’t worry, we will compare the differences between the two in detail, calendar design, packaging, etc. to give you an in-depth understanding of the truth about these two blue balloons and help you make a wise choice!

Choose the right blue balloon

When purchasing, many friends may only focus on the appearance. In fact, comparison of details can allow consumers to make more informed choices. For example, today I want to compare the two blue balloons, AF and 3K. A friend mentioned that the AF factory has reduced the price, and said that there are some details changes, and he wanted me to compare them. In fact, there is not much difference in the accessories between the two blue balloons. The accessories such as gems, glass, and steel belts are of similar quality. The back cover is clearly engraved, and both are equipped with the 2824 movement inside. It is just that the details are handled differently, so let’s compare them next.

Market status of blue balloons

It is worth mentioning that the blue balloon style is very popular, so many imitations have appeared on the market. I would also like to remind everyone that although the blue balloon has the worst waterproof performance among the genuine products, it is only waterproof for daily use, so when wearing it, do not rinse it directly under the faucet, otherwise it will cause water intrusion.

Comparison of details between AF factory and 3K factory

Let’s compare the handles. The gap between the AF factory’s handle and the case is larger, while the gap between the 3K factory’s handle and the case is just right. It is the color difference of the disk surface. The AF factory has changed from yellowish to white, while the 3K factory has maintained the light yellow. The 3K factory has done a better job in this regard.

Looking at the calendar again, the calendar from the 3K factory is smaller and finer, with clearer numbers and a light yellow background; while the calendar from the AF factory is larger and rough, with a frosted background. The processing of the background color of the calendar also reflects the 3K factory’s efforts in overall conformity. Although the overall conformity of the AF factory is acceptable in appearance, there are still differences in details.

Looking at the packaging, the blue balloons from AF Factory have also been changed due to the price reduction. The previous paper box has been changed to a plastic bag, and the corresponding code card has also been changed from the previous paper card to a plastic card. Although the 3K Factory also uses plastic bag packaging, it comes with two manuals, one is the movement manual and the other is the after-sales manual. It can be said that the 3K factory is even more attentive when it comes to packaging.

Evaluation objects and recommended factories

The object of this evaluation is the men’s Blue Balloon with a 42mm mirror. This style has been launched for many years, so many factories are producing it on the market. After comparison, both factories gave me a good impression, so I recommend them to everyone. If you like it, you can find a reliable merchant to buy it from.

Next, let’s go directly to the comparison. This time, we will mainly compare the details, and try to distinguish AF and 3K at a glance. Let’s compare the calendars. The background color of the 3K factory’s calendar is light yellow, which is similar to the color of the disk and is delicate, while the background color of the AF factory’s calendar is frosted and the date numbers are thicker. Overall, the 3K factory’s calendar is superior.

Differences in detail processing

Next, let’s look at the overall conformity. The overall conformity of the 3K factory is very good. The distance between the disk, watch mirror, case and other details is maintained appropriately, and the visual effect is excellent. Although the overall appearance of the AF factory is pretty good, there are still differences in details, such as the slightly larger gap between the crown and the case. Overall, 3K Factory has done a better job in this regard.

Let’s look at the level of refinement. The 3K factory is even better at handling details, such as the polishing of the disk surface and the crown. The AF factory is slightly rougher. For example, the gap between the crown and the case is slightly larger, and the polishing of the disk surface is rough. Overall, 3K factory is more in line with the needs of high-end consumers in this regard.

Conclusion

In short, the 3K factory is superior in detail processing and overall pattern matching, and is suitable for consumers who pursue perfection. Although the AF factory is also good, it is indeed a little rough in some details. Which one do you think is better?
