As an old watch friend who has been playing watches for seven or eight years, I have always paid close attention to the “Black Rock Sugar” replica of the Rolex Datejust. There are many versions on the market, but only a few of them really make me nod. Until recently, I got started with the latest product launched by the CBD factory.Black Rock Sugar V9 upgraded counterweight version, I really felt: this time, I finally have a “high imitation” that I can wear safely when I go out.
Let’s talk about the most intuitive feeling first——weight. This watch weighs219 grams, which is almost the same as the original log counterweight. It feels heavy in the hand and does not feel like a light “toy watch” at all. This solid weight gives people full confidence from the first second.
Looking at the appearance again, CBD has really worked hard on the V9 version this time. The case and strap are made of18K real gold plating + tungsten steel base, not only the color highly restores the warm and thick golden color of the original version, but the manufacturer dares to promise that “If the color fades within two years, it will be returned to the factory for free replacement.”——This is quite a strong confidence in the replica circle. I have been wearing it myself for nearly a month, washing my hands, getting exposed to rain and sun every day, and the gold color is still as good as new, with no signs of oxidation or fading.
The surface is my favorite part. The black plate is clean and tidy;Details of the central axis and polished handsThey are all handled very well, with no burrs or glue spillage, and the pointer edges have a natural transition. Especially under the sun, the deep and non-reflective black texture really feels like the original factory. The **triangular pit pattern (dog tooth ring)** on the outer ring is also reproduced very accurately. The edge is sharp but not irritating. The edge of the ring is also plated with 18K real gold, and the luster is soft and not dazzling.
The mirror is made from the same source as the C factory.Highly transparent arc sapphire glass, the transparency is extremely high, the edges are polished and rounded and natural, and it is almost impossible to tell that it is a replica when viewed from the side. The details of the bottom cover are also not confused:Dog head stamp, AU750 balance scale logo, engraving depth and clarityThey are all made very carefully, and the drawing process is also meticulous. The inner strap is finely and evenly drawn, and the texture is far superior to other versions at the same price.
In terms of movement, it is equipped with what is currently recognized as the “top class” in the replica circle——Shanghai produced 3255 movement. It has a 72-hour power reserve, stable running time (the daily difference is basically within ±3 seconds), and smooth adjustment, which is completely sufficient for daily wear. The color of the balance wheel, the polishing of the splints, and the engraving of the logo are also all correct. Although it is not original, it is satisfactory enough for this price.
To summarize in one sentence:The CBD Black Rock Sugar V9 weighted version is the closest thing to “fake and real” among the black disk log replicas currently on the market.. It solves the old problems of fading, lightness, and rough details. It uses solid materials, upgraded technology, and guaranteed after-sales service. If you have a limited budget and want to own a piece of “black rock candy” that looks authentic and has a texture to wear, then this V9 weighted version is really worth serious consideration.
