Congratulations! Lately Haofa is really setting benchmarks in regards of materials, colours and innovative ideas! Really a cool brand and Iam beyond happy, that I own an Rainbow Sapphire Model ( 1 of 5 ) from them.
i have been waiting so long for a review of this watch i have been intrested in the brand but not ready to invest until i saw a good review thankyou much apreciated
Very interesting brand. I see that they use various materials on different models (titanium+carbon, stainless steel+carbon, stainless steel+ceramic, all crystal cases etc.). Some of color choices and dragon designs are very "asian orientated" but it seems they offer standard black version of almost every model. And the specs of movement are quite impressive with 80h of power reserve. I will probably buy one piece and use it as daily driver for some time.
Iam very impressed by the craftmansship, that I was able to experience, when I was going over a few of their watches. Really cool watches! Quality to the highest standards and definately for the price point, the best bang for your buck you can get. As stated, Iam not sure how long Haofa can keep up with these prices and who of us can manage to snatch some real cool pieces from them, before they even decide to focus on asian market only. I think we as watch enthusiasts recieved here a great opportunity to get really well made watches with top standard materials for a reasonable price. I hope you get yours sooner then later and when you get your daily driver, make sure to post some pics and vids and do not forget to tag me☺️👏🤝🎉 Best, Alen
James, I recieved the watch from Haofa for making the videos and I have to tell you, I loved it and it was super hard for me to send it back. The carbon was unbelievable, as it was having an slight metallic effect to it, like mother of pearl dials. The aluminum titanium mid section was mesmerizing and the scelletonized dial and movement so incredible unique. I mean, if you want to have something that is built in super high quality but for a fair price, Haofa is for sure the way to go.
What bands? You mean ordinary rubber straps? Then no, as all Coutchuk straps from Haofa are custom made for the model only but they got various straps to choose from.
@@Mthusiast4life darn some of these models would look great with a fabric strap but they dont seem to come with them😢 beautiful watches though I have a Tsar Bomba watch it was like $300 its got some nice details and movements but this is just next level🔥💪🏼 appreciate the response! great channel btw:)
Check out definately their inventory and the fabric strap idea is for sure something, Haofa should consider. But since I know they are always on the look out for satisfied costumers, we might be lucky and even get one day fabric straps. Thank you, Iam glad you like the content🤗
@@jaydensokolskithe 1901-1 is a beauty that’s the one to have. The 1903-G is just awesome but manual only drawback. But a Richard Mille Kevlar strap with Velcro closure 100% would be a game changer and even cheaper to produce !
Hi i enjoy your video. But something bother me to make this type of the watch way better : pull out the tag "ark 1902". If these can be pull out. This will be great watch to have. Looking forward your answer. And maybe you dare to try to pull it 😊 Thank you
Since this watch isn't mine ( Property of Haofa ) I would never consider to do it. I do not recommend modding such an high quality watch, as you can end up with deep scratches, ruining the whole appearance of the watch.
Thanks bro! I do really like the quality of the Haofa watches and appreciate every watch maker that put that watch together. Owning an Saphirre Case Haofa Rainbow myself, I have to say, Haofa does it's job well, wich is offering really cool watches for a reasonable price 🎉
Nice video. Thanks for the review. But unfortunately, I have to tell you few things. First , as you know, they are 100% Richard Mille style. Without the RM Logo And without material quality. The reason why they made them so cheap is simple. There is no titanium on theses ( only alluminium like every regular watch under 100$ There is no carbon fiber. Only cheap plastic. If you try to remove theses screw around the glass , there 1/2 that the screen gonna break. As you can see , there’s almost no room to put the flower screw driver around that actual flower. You have to push hard to fit the screw in. About the skeleton inside , again full of plastic mix with cheap metal. You said in your video that they look luxury as RM. Im sorry but , look at the skeleton , it’s only one peace glued all together. Nothing move. The gear doesn’t move at all. The only thing moving inside it is the needle clock. Look at the RM or Audemars Piguet. Look the complication work inside them. 200 to 1000 single pieces assembled by hand. Takes hours to built only one Audemars Piguet skeleton and RM skeleton. But for the watch that you show us right now , the entire skeleton has maybe 5 piece glued to each other. They build it in Saudi Arabia. They built a lot of watch per day versus a Richard Mille who build one watch every day or 2. To be honest with you , you can find way better watch brands who using the RM shape style on the net for 200$ or 300$. And they won’t look like teenage girl watch. Come on , they using flowers for the screws , flowers inside the skeleton , they put white tiger , some rainbow fish , yellow and pink dragon …. 900$ is way to expensive for theses. I agree that Richard Mille are way to much as well. But you can’t compare both on a video like you did. There is no quality , no complication , no expensive parts and they are made of 80% plastic. A real value for theses should be at 150$/200$. I suggest to watch Tsar Bomba watch. Way cheaper. Look way better Same RM style. But you can see the work on it. See y’a
I thank you for your detailed explanation. I never have disassembled an Haofa watch and therefor can't really say you're right or wrong. But anyhow valuable informations are always welcome and we might be lucky and Haofa is also reading this thread, so we can see their answer one day. I never liked the Tsar Bomba because of the proportions but then again, all is personal preference, right? I wish you a great watch journey and alot of fun and joy with my other videos 🤗🎉 -Alen
I mean, ok. I own homage watches, too. But like a $70 pagani design homage of an Omega. I get carbon fiber and titanium are more difficult to work with than 316L stainless steel, so I can maybe see why this costs what it does....but my 70 dollar PD has sapphire. my 250.00 Ciga Design has sapphire. It would be nice, if they are going to charge upwards of a 1000.00 for their Richard Mille knock-off that they do something to make it theirs, add something to it that differentiates it from the original. They didnt so much get inspiration from RM, they ripped off RM. It may be well built, and it better be for the cost, but that doesnt excuse it being a blatant rip-off. I also couldnt care less if they billionaire investors. The billionaire class needs to be abolished.
I own the space ship model Hoafa and it has planets inside it makes me feel like a astronaut. I love it and it is high quality.

Do you still have this watch and do you still like it?

can you switch bands with this watch?

@@Mthusiast4lifethey need a Kevlar strap just like the Richard Mille 100% with Velcro closure that would change everything.

I agree 100% the ark 1902 ruins the piece hands down. If they removed that it would be a home run.
You think these watches are class bro be honest, nice review btw 🫡

@@Mthusiast4life of course I will watch your other video !! 👍
@@Mthusiast4life i did the size comparaison between the boomba and the RM.
They are 95% identical.(I’m talking about the size lol).
So cool, that you had the opportunity to compare them side by side🔥🔥🔥
Pronounce should be How FA
Thank you 🙏 Will do better nxt time!
