QF Edition — Oysterflex Rubber Strap
The QF iteration of the reference 116518LN-0046 specifically addresses the most prominent tactile flaw in precious metal replicas: mass. By utilizing a specialized dense alloy core beneath the 18K yellow gold plating, this case achieves a verified weight of 150g. This bridges the sensory gap between standard 904L Oystersteel replicas and the genuine solid gold piece, which weighs approximately 160g.
Operation is driven by the 1:1 clone Caliber 4130 automatic movement, operating at 28,800vph. It features a fully functional column wheel and vertical clutch architecture for precise chronograph engagement, alongside a paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring and KIF shock absorbers. Power reserve is rated at approximately 36 hours.
The 40mm case maintains the genuine 12.5mm thickness profile. The black dial features champagne subdials and applied indices filled with correct Chromalight luminous material. The black Cerachrom tachymeter bezel offers accurate gold-toned engraved numerals, securing the scratch-proof sapphire crystal.
