On June 19th, APS factory announced that they will publish the Panda Daytona black and white soon, now the two Daytona models just came out. What about the quality? Is it worth buying? I think we need to wait, after all they just came out and there are no reviews, are they good or even better than the ones from Clean? We do not know, while the time will give us an answer.
Before APS, you could get a super clone 4130 Daytona from Clean, BT, King, and New Noob, the Daytonas from these four factories are using Dandong 4130, which is considered to be the best clone 4130 movement in replica watch market. However, although facing the four choices, people are still willing to choose the Daytona made by Clean, this leads a result that their Daytonas immediately sold out once Clean publishes them to the market, now in the market, if you want a quick order, you need to pay extra money to get one Panda Daytona from somebody because Clean does not have it in stock.
Back to this Daytona made by APS factory, will they beat Clean and occupy the entire market ? I do not think so. I got the two watches and have compared them with the Daytona made by Clean, I found that APS version is not better than Clean, some details such as the dial printing is even worse than Clean Daytona. About the movement, APS factory uses Shanghai Jinghe 4130 movement, about Shanghai Jinghe Factory, it is also a big movement factory in China just like Dandong and Sea-gull, Shanghai Jinghe made the 3120 and 4302 movement(used in AP) as well as 240 movement(used in Patek) before, this is the first time for their 4130 movement to be used in replica Daytona, its stability and accuracy still need to be tested, I trust its accuracy, but can its stability be compared with that of Dandong 4130? Dandong 4130 movement is very stable, Clean factory sold thousands pieces of Daytonas and they received no complaints about this movement. While this Shanghai 4130 needs to be tested first, I see there is little difference between them, check the last two pictures, the first is Shanghai 4130, the second is Dandong 4130. Anyway, I do not suggest you buy this Daytona from APS at this point.
