Picture Comparison on Blue AP 15500 Between VS and APS

Leave a reply

Last time, I gave a comparison review on the AP 15500 replica watch between VS Factory and APS Factory, here is the review at https://www.susanreviews.com/2026/01/19/replica-15500-grey-aps-vs-vs/. Today, I will show you the pictures comparison on the blue Royal Oak 15500 AP replica watch between the two factories, like the grey 15500 I shown you before, the main difference on the blue one also lies in the dial color and bracelet end links.

Before showing you the pictures, I would like to express my opinion first. I do not think VS 15500 is better than APS, many dealers posted videos reviews and said VS 15500 is better, actually many of these reviews are not honest. I still recommend the one made by APS. The status of APS factory in AP replica is like what Clean factory used to be for replica Rolex. For a replica Rolex Daytona or Submariner, I think many people will still choose the one made by Clean if this factory is still alive. AP 15400 and 15500 are flagship models of APS Factory, they won’t just hand over this market to others, so in such a short period, the 15500 from VS factory will not surpass the one from APS factory.

The left watch is from VS, the right watch is from APS. The dial color looks slightly different. The blue color on the right looks darker, I do not know which one is closer to the genuine. APS 15500 has a stronger reflection on the dial, I like this finish more on the APS 15500, athough VS claims that their 15500 dial finish is closer to the genuine. Just like the Rolexs made by Clean Factory before, the hands have more three-dimensional polishing, while VS claims that their flat hands are more correct, I think more people prefer the hands of the Rolexs from Clean. While the nameplate of “AUDEMARS PIGUET” on VS dial is better, it is more tridimensional.

About the movement, APS Factory offers two options, super clone 4302 and super clone 4302 with free-sprung balance. The 4302 from VS is a false free-sprung movement, and the movement from VS does not have advantages if being compared with the movement from APS.

PPF V3 5712G

Leave a reply

There is a lot to talk about when it comes to replica watch Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712, and I introduced this watch from PPF and OME before, you can check the article at https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/06/02/ppf-5712-dial-color-upgrade/ and https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/11/24/ome-5712-v2-and-5822p/. There is also a comparison review between them, please check at https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/04/28/nautilus-5712-ome-vs-ppf/. PP Factory indeed has made a lot of improvements on this replica watch since its first release, however, being compared with the one from OME, I more recommend the 5712 from OME, but it seems that OME has disappeared for more than half one year, I do not know why. Some people said OME is not able to get the 240 movement, some people said OME got a lawyer letter from the brand because their 5712 is made too good, do you guys know the exact reason?

Just several days ago, I saw some video reviews again about the Nautilus 5712, but it is another 5712 model with platinum case, grey dial and black leather strap. They said this is the latest V3 edition PP Factory just released, I do not know if PPF has made the improvements on this grey Nautilus 5712G when they published the blue one last time. Anyway, this grey one becomes much better in dial color, moon phase indicator and movement engravings. please check the pictures below.

Observing these pictures above, we can see obvious sunburst finish on the dial, the dial is good, but it is not perfect, in my opinion, the dial from OME 5712 is even better than this one. I can find many flaws on the dial if there is a genuine model beside. First, the white lume material on the hour markers looks slightly from the one on the hands, simply speaking, the two types of white colors look different, this is a very common issue which the factory still has not solved. Second, the central hour hand and minute hand do not have a solid shaft, so do the other three small hands. To solve these issues, the best option is to buy a dial from SW and replace.

The engravings on the movement plates are deep, I mentioned this before. But the engravings on the ACE 240 movement below look deeper and neater, that ACE 240 is the closest clone PP240 movement in the market, it features a free-sprung balance wheel with weights, however, I do not suggest you buy, this movement is not stable. I know some dealers are selling this watch with the ACE 240 movement at a very high price.

What will happen in 2026?

I mean in the replica watches market, what things will happen in 2026? First, some factories will be closed and some new factories will appear. Like Clean, some of those big factories here in the factories will be closed, maybe VS or APS. This thing happened every year. Second, more movements with free-sprung balance will appear. Currently we have seen such movements used in the Richard Mille and Audemars Piguet, actually in Rolex, some factories are also secretly using such movements, for example, UFO and QF. In 2026, we will see more factories participate in the development of free-sprung movements, and its technology will become more mature.

Another thing we care is which factory will become the main competitor of VS. We know VS has occupied the most market share of super clone Rolex, but this factory also has a lot of things that could not be solved, for example, the Rolex market is so big, VS can not take it all, many popular models are usually out of stock, so this is an opportunity for other factories, I think V will have a great development in 2026.

Why V? In the beginning of the closure of Clean, V claimed that the Rolex watches made by them use the same watch parts as Clean, this is important step for a new factory because at that time Clean still has a high recognition in this industry, everyone was looking for their products. And many distributors and dealers are promoting the watches from V. This is a great marketing strategy of V Factory to grow fast, you know, there are hundreds of distributors and dealers, absolutely the quality of V Factory watches is good, otherwise, their prices wouldn’t be even higher than VS’s.

What is the quality of the Rolex made by V? If compare with VS, I think the 40mm Submariner from V is very good, even better than the one from VS. Take a bezel on a genuine watch to make a comparison, the pear on V looks awesome, it’s luster and color are very close to the genuine, or even look the same. Like I mentioned in the reviews on Clean Rolex watches before, the polishing and finish on the hands are the best on Clean, the same finish is also used on the hands of this Submariner from V, the hands look more three-dimensional and do not have burr.

This black Daytona with 4131 movement is also from V. Like the 40mm Submariner above, its hands’ finish has the best quality, the hands appear more three-dimensional, while on VS, the hands look a bit flatter. While the chamfering on hour markers is rounder. For the 116500 white Daytona, perhaps the replica made by VS is better, because the white color on VS looks closer to the genuine.

Conclusion:

What we will see in 2026?

1.Some big factories may be closed.
2.More factories will develop the movements with free-sprung balance.
3.V may become the main competitor to VS.

VS Factory Explorer 124270 Improvement

Leave a reply

In 2024, VS published the replica Explorer I 124270, this watch firstly appeared in the market with the iconic DD3235 developed by VS, later the factory developed the 3230 for the Explorer and Oyster Perpetual. When the Explorer 124270 firstly published by VS, there were two big flaws on the watch, first, the movement plate was engraved with ‘3235’, not ‘3230’. Second, the bracelet is the same width from end to end, that’s not correct.

The following pictures show the bracelet difference on the Explorer 124270 between VS and Clean. The left watch is from VS, the right watch is from Clean. The Clean Explorer has a much narrower bracelet, which is closer to genuine, while on the left VS Explorer, the bracelet looks much wider, this is not good. Absolutely this is the old version before improvement

The following pictures show the bracelet dimension of the watch after being improved this time.

After being improved, the bracelet looks much better now. Wider on the end that connects the case, becomes narrower on the clasp end.

The clasp width on the picture, it is about 16.1mm.

On the end that connects the clasp, the link has a width of 14.2mm

The end link that connects the case is measured to be about 19mm.

VS Factory Daytona 126518 Turquoise

Leave a reply

Any Rolex watch with turquoise dial will attract people and is sold at high price, it is the same for a replica Rolex. Do you still know the last Rolex with turquoise dial? It is an Oyster Perpetual model, the replica was made by a lot of factories, but you might not expect that the one with the closest dial color actually comes from a small factory, not from Clean and VS. For this Daytona 126518, the most difficult part to clone is also the dial color. Its replica is made by a lot of big factories, including APS, GM, QF, Clean Plus, UFO, but each is different in dial color.

After our holiday, VS published this Daytona, and this is the V2 edition with extra weight. For all Daytona replicas, VS has upgraded their weight, the Daytona models with stainless steel bracelet have been upgraded to V3, while the Daytona watches with rubber band have been upgraded to V2. This turquoise Daytona from VS has a weight of about 139 grams, it is not the one with the heaviest weight, CBD version has a weight of 158 grams, but VS claims that their Daytona replicas never have case peeling off issue.

How is the dial color on this watch from VS? I think it is much closer to the genuine dial than the one from some factories like GM and UFO. The turquoise color on VS does not look that dark, the color looks lighter, I do not have a chance to see the genuine watch, but found some pictures to compare, the completion of turquoise dial color by VS is indeed better. But I found the color looks darker if I observe the dial at a closer distance. Besides the weight, VS has already improved the gold tone on the yellow gold Daytona watches, now on the V2 yellow gold Daytona, the golden case does not look that yellow, the yellow gold tone looks lighter too.

There are flaws on the dial, the three subdials have correct position and correct functions, but I noticed that the central round part on each sundial stands a bit higher, the round golden edge of the small dial is a bit thinner than that on the genuine, the round edge’s golden tone looks slightly different from the yellow gold tone on the hands.

The replica watch is equipped with DD4131 movement, which is used by three factories, VS, BT and Clean Plus. The rubber band comes with a length combination of E and F, which is suitable for wrist size from 17.3cm to 18.2cm, if you have a bigger wrist size that that, for example more than 19cm, you will need to order longer rubber band by yourself. VS Factory offers F+F length combination for 19.2cm wrist, but usually they do not sell separately, and all Daytona come with E+F by default.

About YachtMaster 226627

This watch was more popular in the past than today, especially when Clean factory published it in May https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/05/26/clean-titanium-yachmaster-42mm-226627/, 2025, but after the closure of Clean, few people are discussing this watch today, but that does not mean there is no good replica for this YachtMaster, some people thought only Clean has the best Rolex, now they need to change their minds, like I said before, every replica is not perfect, and the replica from each factory has their own advantages. So now which factory makes the best replica of this YachtMaster?

Currently a lot of factories make this replica watch, including TW, EWE, QF, Clean Plus, Victory, ARF. If you want the most affordable one, I recommend EWE. If you want a high-end one, please check with QF, Victory and ARF, and I do not think there is too much difference between these three factories. QF and ARF have been in this industry for more than five years, their watch quality and quality control are trusted. Victory is a new factory and many dealers said their watches are the same quality as previous Clean, I got one Daytona from Victory last week, and found it indeed uses many watch parts that were used on Clean clone watches. The quality of Victory Rolex is no problem, I only have a little bit worry about their quality control, after all they are a beginner. Among these factories, I do not suggest you buy from Clean Plus, which is also called C Plus.

If I were you, I will consider ARF first when buying this YachtMaster watch. They upgraded the movement to DD3235, and the pin that connects each link of the bracelet also uses ceramic tube. Currently only makes Rolex, and the movement of their GMT-Master has also been upgraded to DD3285, but at the same time they also supply the Rolex SH3235 and SH3285. There have been a controversial topic on which movement is better between SH3235 and DD3235, I do not think DD3235 is better in each aspect, otherwise people won’t buy from QF.

The following pictures show the YachtMaster 226627 from Victory. It is a good watch but not perfect. Two obvious flaws I can notice when firstly got the watch, the matt finish on the ceramic bezel is too delicate, while on genuine watch it should be more obvious. Second, the bezel rotation is too smooth. The finish of other places is in quite high quality level.

By the way, VS Factory currently does not make this YachtMaster, but they are about to publish the Daytona 126518 with turquoise dial.

Nautilus 5711 DDF vs VF

1 Reply

Chinese New Year holiday almost ended, some factories now accept orders, and all of them will be back to the business several days later.

A while ago, many people are talking about a factory, which is Victory. They produce Rolex replicas and Nautilus 5711, they also claim that they use the same watch parts as previous Clean Factory, so, many customers who want to get the replica Rolex watches whose quality is close to that of Clcean will choose the ones from Victory, which is also called V or VF.

Besides the Rolex, VF also produces replica Nautilus 5711, many people say this was the project of Clean, before being forced to be closed, Clean already started to make the Nautilus, but before the watch came out, this factory was closed, so VF inherited this project.

How about the Nautilus 5711 made by VF? Today, I am going to show you a brief comparison on the Nautilus 5711 between DDF and VF. It is the blue model, because this color is the most popular one.

When talking about Nautilus 5711, many factories will be mentioned, PPF, 3KF, DDF, BBF, VF and some custom-made versions with SW dial or BUFF dial. There are too many choices, not too good for our customers, you must know which factory makes the best one. First, I tell you that not too many people buy the one from PPF and 3KF. PPF does not have deep engravings on the movement plates. 3KF has a big dial color difference.

Two watches below, the left one is from VF, the right one is from DDF. Both have a blue dial, but VF dial looks purplish. Both dial colors are close to that of the genuine watch. Why they look different? It is said that the genuine Nautilus 5711 with 324 movement has a dial color that is close to the left watch, the genuine Nautilus 5711 with 330 movement has a blue dial color close to the right watch, while DDF on the right indeed has a clone 330 movement. However, I do not like the purplish-blue dial on VF. I prefer the dial color on DDF and BBF. I did a review on BBF 5711 before, please read it at https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/11/10/bbf-5711/.

On the dial, there is another difference between these factories. That’s the luminescence color.

On DDF, the luminescence on hour markers and hands has color difference.

On BBF and VF, the luminescence on hour markers and hands is almost the same in color.

However, on DDF, BBF and VF, the date font is slightly thinner than that on SW dial. So, if in pursuit of perfection, many customers will pay for a CNC case and replace the dial with a SW dial.

Nautilus 5711 DDF vs BBF vs VF — The dial color difference between DDF, BBF and VF.

The Patek Philippe logo on the buckle, right one is from DDF. Which is closer to that of the genuine watch?

About the case thickness, I measured all of them, DDF 5711 has a case thickness of 8.67mm. BBF 5711 has a case thickness of 8.32mm. The case thickness of VF 5711 is 8.4mm. The case of BBF 5711 has the most accurate thickness.

Conclusion:

Do not need to feel confused, whether buying from DDF or BBF, it is a good choice. If you prefer a purplish-blue dial, then buy the VF 5711. This blue Nautilus 5711 replica in the market is too hot, but the dial is hard to be made to be perfect, every factory has dial color difference on this watch. Considering all aspects and cost, just choose the one from BBF.

OR Factory Seamaster Bronze Gold Green

Leave a reply

Our new year holiday just begins. Tonight is New Year’s Eve, a wonderful time for family reunion. I do not feel happy everyday, even at this special moment, nobody cares what has happened to me, it has been a long time for me not to laugh loudly.

Today, I want to bring you a replica watch made by OR Factory. About OR Factory and its Seamaster replica watches, I introduced them before, please read at https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/12/08/or-factory-seamaster/ and https://www.susanreviews.com/2026/01/26/seamaster-no-time-to-die-vs-vs-or/. This replica watch is another Omega Seamaster from OR, it is a bronze gold model with a green face, which is not a new model, VS published it before, and later they updated its movement.

In the second half of 2025, there are several important moments, for example, Clean was closed, VS published V2 Datejust, APS published 4401 movement with free-sprung balance, the birth of the DD8806 movement, etc. Among these important moments, the DD8806 movement developed by VS is exactly used in the Omega Seamaster bronze gold model, it is also used in the V4 Seamaster No Time to Die by VS. While in this Seamaster bronze gold, OR Factory uses a SH8806. So, there is a discussion about which movement is better, in my opinion, it will not be bad if you buy any one of them, both are good movement, in the finish of some subtle details such as polishing and engravings on the movement plates, I prefer the SH8806 from OR.

The replica watch from OR comes with a mesh bracelet that is made with titanium, the factory also offers a green rubber band with a deployant clasp. The rubber band from VS comes with a pin buckle, this is another difference.

Here are pictures of the Seamaster bronze gold from OR.

Replica Omega Seamaster Bronze Gold Green

The following is a comparison between the replica and genuine. Which one do you think is the replica, the left one or the right one?

Seamaster Bronze Gold Replica vs Genuine

Both bezel and dial have color difference, but not very obvious. The replica has an extra regulator on the balance wheel, the decoration on the movement plate is very close. The genuine watch has a bigger Omega logo on the clasp. On this OR Seamaster, its crystal has a closer shape to that of the genuine than VS, but the OR Seamaster has too obvious blue AR coating, genuine watch does not have.

RC Factory Aquanaut

Leave a reply

Just saw a news coming from the market that RC Factory will make the replica Patek Philippe Aquanaut watches with increased weight, is that true? Some people said this is a false news. However, I got these pictures, some dealers got the watch already and I share their reviews on this golden Aquanaut watch.

For the Patek Philippe Aquanaut replica watches, they are very hot, BP is the earliest watch maker that produces them, then ZF and 3K, now a lof of new names appeared in this field, like BBF and DDF we know, and some unpopular names such as APW. Among them, 3K has already made the biggest amount of money just by selling Nautilus replicas and Aquanaut replicas, but their Aquanaut and Nautilus are not the first choices. More people are buying from BBF or DDF. Among these watch makers, only APW and DDF make the replica Aquanaut with increased weight, and absolutely I recommend the one from DDF. For the best Nautilus replica, I also recommend DDF and VF.

Nowadays, the replica watches with increased weight are very popular, but that does not mean the ones from each factory are worth buying, not every replica watch with close weight to genuine can be called super clone, sometimes I prefer the one with regular weight if it has much better finish and dial details, for example, Clean did not produce increased weight Rolex replica watches before, but their Rolexs used to be the best.

This Aquanaut, if it is really made by RC, please do not buy.

First, the chocolate dial has color difference, actually on the rose gold Day-Date model with chocolate dial from RC, the dial color difference also exists.

Second, the movement is a super clone 324, but its engravings on the plates are not deep, not that deep on the movement plates of BBF Aquanaut. Now factories BBF and DDF have deep engravings on the movement plate, 3K does not have.

Third, the rose gold tone on the case does not look as good as that on their Rolex Day-Date.

So, although the watch has a good weight of about 131 grams, but the finishes do not meet the standards of a super clone watch.

APS Factory IWC Portuguese Chrono

1 Reply

The Portuguese Chrono is one of the hottest IWC replica watches in the market, it is also being after by a lot of people because of its ultimate elegance, it is more popular than the Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve, the Portuguese Chrono was made by both ZF and APS in the past, many people only recognize the version from the ZF, but since the last raid happened years ago, ZF has no longer brought us big surprises, it seems like they have disappeared, just two new names appeared, PPF and BBF, which claim that they cooperated with ZF. In my opinion, just like I mentioned before, ZF does not exist.

About this IWC Portuguese Chrono watch, its movement actually has been upgraded twice, now this time APS developed a better movement for it, and I think this is the ultimate version, there must be no more improvements on the movement in future.

The following two Portuguese Chrono watches, which one do you like? Both have a white dial, one has golden markers and hands, the other has blue markers and hands. The one with blue hands and blue markers is loved by a lot of people.

For the size of the case, I measured it, which is exactly the same as that of the genuine watch. The case diameter is 41mm. With the new super clone 69355 movement, the case is much thinner now.

The blued steel hands look very beautiful and enhance the elegance of the watch, this is the reason why people like this model more.

The edge of the bezel is polished, the case side is brushed, we can see that high contrast finished very well on this watch.

This is the super clone 69355 APS developed for the Portuguese Chrono. There are beautiful finish-scale patterns decoration on the movement plates, the position of the balance wheel is also correct. Some people said there is no difference between this super clone movement and the genuine calibre, but obviously the engravings on the auto rotor and movement plates are a bit shallower.

By the way, the replica watch uses a black calfskin leather band, this band feels a stiff, absolutely you can order a genuine aligator leather band and replace on. There are stores here in the market that can customize the genuine aligator leather bands.

Conclusion

For people who are looking for good quality IWC replica watches, now the Portuguese Chrono finally joins the list of super clone IWC watches, because in the past I thought there are only Portuguese 7 Days, Ingenieur and Pilot Mark series. However, with the new movement, the price also goes up. You also need to be very careful when buying this watch, some dealers may use a replica with a 7750 movement to deceive you, after all, these replicas really do not have too much difference in finish with the great development of watch-making technology, and some of you guys do not know how to tell if the watch comes with a super clone 69355 movement.
