The dial typography, proportions, and spacing are entirely consistent. The detail craftsmanship is exceptionally well-controlled, reflecting the profound replica craftsmanship of the MK Factory.

The scale proportions, thickness, positioning, and bolding of the lettering have all truly achieved a one-to-one replica, leaving nothing for anyone to criticise.

The frosted texture on the dial is impeccably executed, and the diffuse scattering effect of light shining from different angles is identical to that of the genuine watch.

The bevelling on the edge of the dial date window has also been crafted, showing great attention to detail in the manufacturing.

The MK Factory V6 edition Mark XVII uses an Italian imported calfskin strap, whilst the genuine piece features alligator leather. Those pursuing higher quality can opt for a custom alligator leather strap.


Regarding the crown, the workmanship of both can be described as indistinguishable. The engraved logo on the MK Factory replica is exquisitely finished, achieving entirely interchangeable standards.
