Bokey TimeHello everyone, this is Bokey Watch Industry. Today, I’d like to introduce the OM Factory’s latest V3 upgraded version of the Blancpain Villeret Classic Series 6654 Moon Phase watch. This timepiece is a representative business-oriented complicated model in the Blancpain brand, belonging to the Blancpain Villeret Classic Series. In the replica market, the OM Factory’s Blancpain 6654 Moon Phase is universally recognized as the best replica version, as no other major factories are producing it. Now, let’s take a look at the specific upgrades of the V3 upgraded 6654, whether the thickness has been reduced, and how the craftsmanship is.
OM Factory Blancpain Classic Series 6654 Moon Phase V3 Upgraded Version – Actual Photos by Bokey
Authentic parameters: Blancpain Villeret Classic Series 6654-1127-55B watch. Price: 111,500.
Watch review: OM Factory Blancpain Villeret Classic Series 6654 Moon Phase V3 upgraded version.
The entire dial of OM Factory’s 6654 moon phase adopts a silver-white tone combination, which complements the moon phase directly opposite at six o’clock and the unique design of the central serpentine pointer.
The V3 version of 6654 moon phase by OM Factory, like before, uses double-sided anti-reflective sapphire glass mirror and is coated with a light blue coating, which is very beautiful.
The Roman scale nails on the entire dial are all mirror-polished, and the brightness and glossiness are in place.
Weekly and monthly calendar display windows: Both display windows are trapezoidal in design, and the font is relatively thin and fills the entire window. This has been fixed in the previous V2 version. The font in the previous V1 was relatively thick. This is still an old problem in quality control and needs to be carefully selected. Sometimes there will be irregular flaws in window opening. For example, the physical object photographed by Bokey today has irregular flaws in the right weekly calendar window. This can be solved by asking the merchant to carefully check when purchasing.
At six o’clock is the moon phase disk. The human face moon phase disk is sometimes bright and sometimes dark under different lighting conditions, with an outstanding effect. Previously, there were always people saying that Blancpain 6654 is the most beautiful moon phase watch, and Blancpain’s moon phase is the most beautiful and vivid. For this point, I believe many people have experienced it. For example, the Jaeger-LeCoultre moon phase by GF factory, the Longines Master Eight-Pin Moon Phase by GS, and the FiftySix moon phase by ZF factory all use polished moon disks, which is really monotonous.
The willow-leaf-shaped pointer is very clean and bright after mirror polishing treatment. The lengths of the hour and minute hands are in line with the original, and the pointer axis is also relatively solid, with only a little hollow. The calendar pointer similar to a snake shape is made by using the blued steel process and is sometimes black and sometimes blue under light.
The side of the case of OM Factory’s V3 version 6654 is mirror-polished and there is a protective film attached to avoid scratches caused by friction or bumps during shipping. The four lugs of this V3 version have also been upgraded. The “round R” at the corner of the lug is rounder than previous versions, and the oblique line at the front corner of the lug is closer to the original. There will be no feeling of cutting hands when touched.
The crown with a serrated design is engraved with the Blancpain LOGO, which is very three-dimensional.
Thickness and size of OM Factory Blancpain 6654 Moon Phase V3 upgraded version:
The dial diameter and thickness of OM Factory’s 6654 moon phase V3 version are obtained through actual measurement by Bokey. The overall size of the watch is 40 millimeters, which is the same as the original size. The overall thickness has decreased from 12.3MM of the first generation to about 11.7 millimeters. The original is 10.6. But in the V3 version, it is one millimeter thinner than in the V2 version. Compared with the original, there is still a gap of one millimeter. However, personally, I feel that this one millimeter will only be obvious under a vernier caliper. In actual use, there is not much difference.
What has been upgraded in the movement of OM Factory Blancpain 6654 Classic Moon Phase V3 version? Has stability improved?
The biggest upgrade of this V3 version is this movement. In the previous V2 version, OM used the 9015 movement with a deck. And this V3 upgraded version uses the third-generation modified movement, which is also based on the 9015 movement. The difference is that this time the words are directly engraved on the original deck of the 9015 movement, thus achieving about 80% similarity to the original.
The stability of the movement has also been improved a lot compared to before. If you have followed Bokey, you will know that when this OM6654 replica watch was in the V1 version, Bokey did not recommend watch enthusiasts to buy it. Mainly because after selling about ten, there was basically a 100% repair rate, resulting in a very poor user experience. Moreover, the four adjustment buttons on the back are also very difficult to press. Bokey had to take this model off the shelves. Now, the V3 upgraded version has solved the problem of the previous version’s stop due to low movement amplitude of 240, and the four buttons on the back have also been redesigned and upgraded, and the feel is a little better than before.
Regarding the workmanship details of the buckle, I won’t comment. Just look at the detailed pictures to feel the workmanship. If you have an authentic Blancpain 6654 moon phase and the buckle is broken, you can completely replace it with the case of OM6654, which can save a lot of expenses! The engraving on the buckle and the abbreviated English logo of Blancpain really completely restore the original!
After opening the buckle, you can see that the metal brushed inside is also in place. There are also hollowed-out JB brand LOGOs on both sides.
The OM moon phase 6654 replica watch comes with a pair of cowhide straps as standard, which have a relatively average texture and a relatively hard feel! Friends with sufficient budget can directly choose a crocodile leather strap to improve the texture and wearing experience of the whole watch.
Wearing effect. Bokey wrist circumference is 15.5 cm. Overall, it is moderate. It is recommended for watch enthusiasts with wrist circumferences between 14.5 and 17.5 to buy.
Summary: Regarding Blancpain replica watches, in the current replica market, there are many low versions. Either they are completely different from the original, or there are too many differences in details. Their restoration degree and quality are very worrying, and it also makes many watch enthusiasts not know how to choose. And this V3 upgraded version of Blancpain 6654 moon phase by OM factory has improved stability in terms of movement, decreased in size and thickness, plus the workmanship of the overall case and dial, and restored the original functions. Although it is not perfect in every way, it is already a remarkable masterpiece among high-difficulty complex models!
