Seamaster No Time to Die VS vs OR

3 Replies

Last time, I said that OR Factory has been back to the business and they published the Seamaster, I also made a comparison on that Seamaster between VS and OR, please check that review here at https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/12/08/or-factory-seamaster/. Today, I will make a brief comparison on another Seamaster watch between VS and OR, it is the most popular Seamaster No Time to Die, I introduced this replica watch on my blog many times before, VS has the latest V4 edition, it is the one I recommend.

Seamaster No Time to Die VS vs OR

The left watch with a red “A” sticker on the crystal is made by VS, the right one is from OR.

Seamaster No Time to Die Dial Color Comparison

The dial color looks different on the two watches above. VS dial has a darker color than OR dial. The dial of OR Seamaster looks slightly dark brown under the light. The color of luminous coating on hour markers is also different. Do you have the genuine watch? Which dial color is closer to the genuine?

The bezel markers on VS Seamaster are thicker.

Seamaster No Time to Die Bezel Pearl

The bezel pearl on OR Seamaster at the right is bigger. The color of the luminous coating in the round dot is also different.

Seamaster No Time to Die Crystal Height

The right watch from OR, its crystal stands higher above the bezel.

Seamaster No Time to Die Bracelet Comparison

Both factories use titanium bracelet. The mesh bracelet from OR factory has a higher density. I like the bracelet of VS more.

No too much different. The Omega logo on the buckle. OR Factory has a better logo shape on the buckle.

The weight of VS Seamaster is 98.7 grams, while OR Seamaster has a weight of 102.7 grams.

Both factories offer a nato band for the watch. But the logo engraved on the buckle seems not too good on both watches.

007 Engraving on the Nato Band

The “007” engraving on the nato band of VS Seamaster looks much thickner.

Seamaster No Time to Die Movement Comparison

For the movements shown above, do you know which one is from OR?

Replica 15500 Grey APS vs VS

Leave a reply

VS Factory has published the AP 15500 for weeks, I wrote a review about this watch at https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/12/29/vsf-ap-15500/, today, I want to make a comparison review on the 15500 grey model between APS and VS.

I did not see the genuine watch, I do not know which one is closer to genuine watch, I think both are very good replicas.

First, dial color.

The left watch is from APS, the right watch is from VS. Both have grey dial. The grey color on APS 15500 looks slightly darker. And at some angles, the light reflection looks stronger on the dial of APS 15500.

Second, hour markers and hands. Check the two pictures below. Both watches have very good polishing on the hands and hour markers. On APS 15500, the hour markers feature wider luminous material, the white luminescence on the hour markers of VS looks narrower.

Third, date font. Look at the date font below. APS 15500 has a pure white date font that looks slightly thicker. VS 15500 has a warm white date font. The axis of hands looks different, it is solid on both watches, but I like the solid axis on VS more.

Fourth, the first link. Are you able to find the difference on the first link? The two pictures below, first watch is from APS, second watch is from VS. On VS 15500, there is a bigger gap between the first link and the main case. So you can feel the first link and even the entire steel bracelet are more flexible on VS 15500. Because of this, the case of VS 15500 maybe fit your wrist more comfortably.

By the way, like I mentioned before, the bracelet of APS 15500 has 24 links, which has one more link than VS. If you have a big wrist, maybe APS 15500 is a better choice.

Fifth, the comparison of AP logo on the clasp.

Sixth, the movement. The following pictures show the SH4302 movement from APS, this is the latest SH4302 with free-sprung balance, APS just released. It features weights. The auto rotor is rose gold, but that sculpture AP looks yellow gold.

SH4302 Free Sprung

The following pictures show the movement DD4302 from VS. It is not real free-sprung movement even you do not see the regulator. There are no weights on the balance. But the golden tone of the auto rotor is better.

U mi RM016

The first square Richard Mille watch I have seen. RM016 is made by U mi studio, which is a new name in this industry, but is actually operated by a factory that has been in this business for many years, it is ZF. ZF was a big famous watch maker before, more popular than APS factory, but now I even doubt that ZF does not exist after that raiding happened years ago. Why do I think so? Because ZF used to be more active, they usually published new watches in front of APS, but today, we seldom see new watches or improvements on existing models made by ZF, the situation is, a long time after APS released the new model, ZF finally promoted the same watch, this is strange. Or actually ZF is also operated by the same team APS? Anyone who wants to invest in developing new replica watches can use ZF name to sell them.

RM016 is a new model, no other factories make it, now only U mi has this watch, price is expensive. Some dealers said U mi is a high-end studio and makes the best Richard Mille replicas, this is not true, take this RM016 as an example, the replica is made with titanium, but genuine watch has a special processing on the titanium, so if you compare the case between the replica and genuine, you will see color difference. The thickness of the case is about 9.6mm, which is still a bit thicker than that of the genuine. Well, I am attracted by its square case, skeleton dial and the unique look of the auto rotor. However, do not buy this watch currently, there will be improvements made in future if this is really a popular RM watch.

What other Richard Mille watches does U mi have? Yes, they make some popular models like RM35-02, RM055 and RM67-02. The former two are also produced by APS, and APS is the first to offer the RM35-02 and RM055 with free-sprung balance movement, now ZF uses name U mi to sell these two Richard Mille watches, their intention is obvious, to pose as a high-end studio so that buyers think they are superior. Actually their quality is the same as that of APS.

RM35-02 RAFA Red Devil

Happy New Year! Hope you guys always be healthy in future.

Over the past year, discussions about the RM35-02 have constantly been the most talked-about topic, especially in the first half of 2025, the discussions about this watch reached their peak with the release of free-sprung movement from APS Factory, but later the factory Clean was closed, people’s attention then shifted to Rolex and VS Factory.

The market for this Richard Mille watch is actually quite chaotic, there are various grades made by different factories, I know many of you guys are looking for the best replica in the market, and RM35-02 is indeed the best choice if you are looking for the best replica Richard Mille in the market. However, you must know which factory makes the best one, I introduced the Richard Mille RM35-02 replica watch several times on my blog, please check the latest review about this watch at https://www.susanreviews.com/2025/08/25/aps-factory-wins/. In my opinion, now both ZF and APS make the best replica RM35-02, both of them have the regular version and upgraded version with free-sprung balance. However, some dealers are still cheating customers by selling cheap fakes of RM35-02 at very expensive prices, someone has been scammed, so find a trusted source to buy this watch and be sure the RM35-02 you are buying has the following features.

1.The crystal face has to show blue reflection when you move the watch under the angle.

2.The two rotary wheels should be moving when you rotate the crown(winding the watch). The two rotary wheels are not for decoration.

3.When you pull out the crown to change or set the time, the central second hand should not be moving, it should be “frozen”, it will start moving again when you push the crown back in. If the second hand is still moving even the crown is pulled out to set the time, then your RM35-02 is not from ZF or APS.

4.On the back of the rubber band, the number should be 30M, not 11M or other numbers.

5.Made with real forged carbon, but the white stripes on the case should not to be too bright.

6.The watch should be water resistant, it is ok to wear the watch when walking in the light rain or washing your hands. And in some stores in our market, the water resistance performance can be reinforced with some ways, so do not worry about the water resistance of the Richard Mille RM35-02 from ZF and APS.

The video below is a RM35-02 from APS, it shows all features mentioned above.
