APS Factory Audemars Piguet 26420

APS Factory published several models for this watch weeks ago, a reader commented on my blog to ask me to do a review on this watch, I can not give you a detailed comparison review side by side because I do not have the genuine watch, I will do a brief review later. Before that, I want to tell you a bad news, which is Clean Factory got raided in last week, I was about to announce this news on my blog but I thought you guys have known this, their warehouse was found, so, you know it will be very hard for them. I do not know if they will be back to this business, may be not, just like the raid happened on Noob Factory several years ago, and Noob did not come back. Some people said Clean will be back soon, some dealers on the internet said Clean is accepting orders now, this is not true, currently ordering from Clean is impossible. If they really are able to come back, I think it will be one or two months later. Anyway, it makes perfect sense if they are really getting out of the business, after all, they already have had enough money.

Back to the Audemars Piguet 26420 which APS Factory just published, there are four models, please check the pictures below. I only suggest you buy the stainless steel watch with black dial and the rose gold one, the other two have big flaws. The one with gradient dial has a different dial color, the blue watch is made with stainless steel, while genuine watch is titanium made. APS Factory made a big mistake, they made the blue one with stainless steel, this is not acceptable, every time APS Factory acted very fast but they do not work carefully as they used to. For example, in replica 15400 and 15500, more people bought the ZF version before, but APS Factory did improvements on both watches step by step, finally their AP 15400 and 15500 have a better quality than ZF and have become one of the best replica watches in this industry. I can not believe such a big factory made an obvious mistake on this AP 26420. Among so many factories in the market, Clean is the most meticulous in its work, they usually perfects their watches in one go, no major upgrades needed later, this is also the reason why Clean got raided, they make Rolex replicas too good.

Replica Audemars Piguet 26420 Smoked Brown Dial

For this Audemars Piguet 26420, in the past, APF made it, but they use a common Chinese chronograph movement and the watch it too thick. APS Factory uses a super clone 4401 movement and makes the watch with a correct case thickness, which is about 14mm. The case has a 43mm diameter, the bezel and the chrono pushers use black ceramic. The case has very good brushed finishing, the black ceramic bezel has brushed finish on the front and polishig on the side. The edge of the ceramic crown has rounded polishing, it does not feel sharp but very smooth.

The crystal of the APS 26420 has obvious blue AR Coating, while on genuine watch, the anti-reflective coating does not look that blue.

On the dial, there are big grids, each grid has fine vertical patterns in a close-up view, on the corner of each grid, there is “X” that connects with each grid seamlessly, even if you check carefully, there is no burr on the edge of every grid. While the axi of each hand looks slightly different from that on genuine watch, on genuine watch, the solid axis pin is small and looks more obvious.

For the date window, the gen-style deep recess is not that obvious on the replica 26420.

The band is easily removal because of its quick release system, however, APS does not offer extra leather strap for the watch, there is only rubber band on the watch.

The movement is a super clone 4401, currently only used by APS Factory. It is equipped by APS in the AP 26240 and 26420. The previous 4401 has some differences with the genuine AP 4401 Calibre, especially on the balance wheel, the APS 4401 has regulator and does not have weights. It is said the upgraded V2 4401 will come out soon, the regulator will be removed and weights will be added to the balance wheel, at that time, the 4401 will look much closer to the genuine AP 4401 Calibre.

By the way, the rose gold 26420 APS Factory has published has a very close gold tone to that of genuine.

APW Factory AP 26331

Leave a reply

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chrono 26331, there are several factories that have made its replica, including B, OM and IP, but none of these factories are making a correct replica of this watch, although I suggest you buy this replica from OM before, however, OM is a weird watch maker, it usually needs to wait for a long time to get a factory from them, especially ordering this AP 26331.

The AP 26331, I love it more than the 26240, it looks more beautiful than the latter, I just like its subdial design, which is in different size, I do not like the same size of the subdial on 26240. In the past, whether the 26331 replica made by B or OM, there are obvious flaws. For example, the position of the three subdials is not correct on the 26331 made by B. The small hands on the two subdials at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock do not work on the 26331 from OM. Both of these flaws are fixed on this AP 26331 that was just published by APW Factory. And on this new 26331 from APW, the case thickness is very close to that of genuine watch, which is measured to be 11mm. I also measured the diameter, it is 41mm.

The functions of the APW 26331 are the same as that of genuine, the correct position of the small dials, sunburst finish on the small dials, laddered date window design, stable SL4801 movement, good chamfering finish on the case and bracelet, there are many advantages on this replica 26331.

But there are two shortcomings which I think APW should improve next, first, the brushing on both sides of the case is not obvious and should be enhanced. Second, the area which the small dials contact with the main dial is not well processed, it does not look very clear. Fortunately, the watch is sold at a much affordable price than that of 26240.

Our Chinese New Year holiday will start soon, I think most watch factories will be on holiday after this week, the shipping company will stop providing service on Jan. 23. In the beginning of 2025, since January, we have seen a lot of new replicas, but the most important watch should be the Audemars Piguet 26240 Flyback, now the replicas of AP 26240 have stainless steel in black, white, blue, green and black ceramic available from APS. But in last week, APS just published a rose gold model, which is the following one with blue dial, and they will publish another rose gold one with green dial in this week, I think many of you guys have been expecting this green gold one for a long time. The replica 26240 has a super clone 4401 movement that can provide the flyback chrono function, which is another breakthrough improvement in this industry.

The second new arrival replica is a Tudor Pelagos FXD GMT model made by M+ Factory. The watch is made with Titanium that is brushed, the case is measured to be 42mm in diameter and 12.7mm in thickness. The bezel is bi-directional rotating with a black ceramic insert in matt finish. The entire watch is only 70.2 grams in weight. M+ is a very low-key factory in our market, they have only made a few models, but every piece is high quality. This Tudor FXD GMT replica will become another best seller, it has a very correct color in the bezel markers, hour markers and hands, the GMT hand and printings “PELAGOS GMT” are also in the sams orange color as that on genuine watch. The green fabric band with unique logo makes it distinguishable among all Pelagos FXD models M+ Factory has produced. M+ also offers one black leather pack for the watch.

APS Replica AP 26240

The most important watch, which we have been expecting so long, is finally available now. Now, only stainless steel models and the black ceramic model are available. APS Factory has really made a lot of popular replica watches in past years, I think this AP 26240 will become another best seller in 2025.

In Audemars Piguet field, it is not hard to find super clones, there are popular Royal Oak 15400 and 15500, these are really made very well and the most outstanding AP replicas, but for watch fans who seeking for chrono models in AP, the 26331 from OM has some defect in function, while those AP ROO Sec@12 models have decreased in popularity since the closure of J12 Factory, so it is very important for AP watch fans to find another flagship model in AP RO Chrono collection, hope this 26240 made by APS can complete this mission.

Currently for the stainless steel 26240, there are four models available, each is different in dial color, there are black, white, green and blue. Together with the black ceramic one, there are totally five models being released. The case is 41mm, I measured its thickness, about 12.68mm. Stainless steel model is about 170.8g in weight, the ceramic model is 162.6g in weight.

Equipped with the super clone 4401 movement, tts chrono function is different from that on Daytona. Push the button at 2 o’clock, the central second hand will start to move, then you push the button at 4 o’clock, the central second hand will back to zero but will not stop, next it will move again. If you want the central second hand to stop moving, push the 2:00 button again, it will stop immediately, then push the 4:00 button, the central second hand will back to zero and not move. This is real flyback chrono function.

The rose gold model will be published soon.

APS Factory AP 26240 will be available soon

This will be a bomb in 2025, because it is said that this watch will be available in the end of December 2024, so you will see it soon in January 2025, it must be a very important gift for our watch fans in the new year, some people have been waiting for it for a long time.

APS Factory has made a lot of contribution to this industry in 2024, the V2 edition of super clone RMUL2, AP 15407, you guys already know these things. This AP 26240 made by APS Factory has a super clone 4401 movement, which is developed by a movement factory in Shanghai. The movement now is only used by APS Factory, I do not know if APS will give it to ZF to use in future, but considering their good friendship, I think yes. Not like the 26331 published by OM Factory, this 26240 AP super clone has all working functions, the chrono works perfectly. And the movement will be stable.

THB Factory Replica AP 15407

Congratulations, you guys have a chance to get one best ever made replica Audemars Piguet 15407, are you excited? However, I am not happy, but feel a little strange, because ZF just published this replica two weeks ago, with a non-rotatable wheel at 8 o’clock, but after two weeks, a better version came out with a working wheel, made by another factory named THB and sold at a much higher price, don’t you think this is a little bit strange? ZF published a defective one first, and then THB published a better version, what a coincidence, I think this is a precisely planned marketing event held by these two watch markers together. Why they do the promotion in such a method? To make more money from clients, this is true, because this watch from THB has a very high price.

I am very curious about the background of THB factory, it is the first time for most of you guys to hear them, I think THB and APS are the same factory, or at least THB is being operated by the same team of APS, why do I think so? I have two reasons. First, because I am too familiar with the ways of doing things between ZF and APS, for the past years, ZF published a replica, next APS would publish the same one, then APS would continue to improve and make an ultimate better version, so this perfect version of AP 15407 may be from APS, but sold under a different name THB. Second, THB also makes Day-Date with increased weight, also at high prices, we know only several factories such as APS, GM, QF, Gold making increased weight versions of Rolex replicas, APS is one of them, and between the four, only GM and QF make Day-Date, I told you GM and QF are the same watch maker, APS always been wanting to get more market share in Rolex, but their Rolex Daytona project did not succeed, so APS still wanted to make another opening in Rolex by making better Day-Date replicas under a new name THB, not sure if their Day-Date project will succeed, prices too expensive.

ZF 15407

Leave a reply

Z factory always followed the action of APS, now they just published the replica Audemars Piguet 15407, we know APS has already published this replica watch for years. For promotion, Z factory claimed that theirs 15407 is much better than the one from APS, but I do not think so, the replica 15407 from both APS and ZF has some differences with the genuine watch. For this AP 15407, it is hard to make a perfect super clone because of its unique dial construction. Z factory added a golden round device above the balance wheel like genuine watch, but this round golden wheel set between 7 and 8 will not roll automatically, this becomes a big defect, I still prefer the one made by APS factory, because we can see the rotating balance wheel directly. By the way, Z factory sells this replica at a much higher price than APS, will Z factory reduce the price of this watch? I do not know, Z factory barely reduces the prices of their watches, unless the watches can not be sold out, like the Daytona made by them.

New movements coming soon

Shanghai 4401

Not sure which factory will develop it, VS? I do not know, but it is said that this clone 4401 movement will have a genuine flyback feature, it will equipped by AP 26240 or 26239.

Dandong RMUL

It is said to be the best RMUL movement used in super clone Richard Mille, perhaps developed by APS factory, or BBR? I do not know, and the movement will have about 120-hour power reserve and will be equipped by RM055 and other models.

Shanghai 3132

Will be equipped by the AP Skeleton 15407 made by APS factory, I am very sure APS will install this movement in the V2 edition of their AP 15407, this AP is also a very popular replica watch in our market, at that time, perhaps APS will also share the movement with ZF watch maker.

When will be the V2 Edition of AP 15407 released by APS? I am very excited now.

Secrets about APS factory

In one of my articles published in the end of last year, I talked about the friendship between ZF and APS, today, more interesting stores about APS factory will be shared.

First, have you heard of BF? I thought it was a new factory when their AP ROO Diver 15710 and 15720 firstly appeared in the market in 2021, but BF has been in the market for more than 5 years, even has a much longer history than APS, there is a relationship between APS and BF. Their bosses are cousins. BF introduced APS into this industry.

The relationship between ZF and APS is very solid, we talked about this in the article https://www.susanreviews.com/2023/12/23/the-bromance-between-aps-and-zf/. In the early time when APS just entered this market, almost all replica watches were using Asia clone ETA 2824 and 2836 movements, they wanted to use better movements to create better replica watches, so they focused on researching and developing movements at the beginning, absolutely the new movement development process is mainly completed by Chinese traditional movement factories. Take the Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve as an example, the earlier model with old movement looks werid, check the picture below.

Old Portuguese — The Portuguese with old movement

Then APS cooperated with a movement factory in Dandong and developed a new movement, after being installed, the Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve below with new movement looks very nice. At that time, APS only sold this Portuguese 52010 movement to ZF. But one or two years later, APS realized that they could not earn enough money by only developing and selling movements to other factories, then they started to sell the Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve replica watches by themselves, with the latest 52010 movement they owned, but under another name “AZ”, someone also call it AZF, so, APS and AZ are actually the same team.

New Portuguese — The Portguese with new movement from APS

The clone IW52010 is a great success for APS, they wanted to develop another great movement now, especially after seeing the release of Dandong 4130 movement by Noob, APS took the action immediately. They also cooperated with Dandong and developed two movements in 2020, one is JL925 for the Jaeger LeCoultre Master Moonphase, the other is JL938 for the Jaeger LeCoultre Reserve De Marche. The first batch of clone JL925 movement was sold to YL factory, later APS also equipped JL925 in their replicas of JL Master Ultra Thin Moonphase and sold under name of “AZ”. Later this clone JL925 movement was also supplied to ZF and GF two factories.

Next, it is the 3120 movement used in 15400. We know 3120 was developed by JF before, but JF was closed, later the 3120 was improved by a movement factory in Shanghai. Then APS seized the opportunity and accepted all 3120 movements from Shanghai. Now we can see the 3120 in Royal Oak 15400 made by APS is very stable. Later APS offered a small amount of 3120 movement to ZF. And then APS and this movement factory in Shanghai developed the 4302 movement together, we can see 4302 is now used in Royal Oak 15500 made by ZF and APS. The last movement from APS I want to mention here is the 5134 used in Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 26574, this movement is also very stable, for AP 26574 replicas, I still recommend the ones made by APS, which are more stable than those ones just published by BBR a few weeks ago.

The Bromance Between APS and ZF

Leave a reply

Just in this week, ZF released the replicas of Royal Oak 15450, which have a 37mm case diameter and are measured to be 9.8mm in thickness. They are equipped with the super clone 3120 movement developed by APS factory. There are three colors available, gray, white and blue, please check the pictures of them in the end of this article. Actually I have introduced the replica AP Royal Oak 15450 watches on my blog, they were firstly published by APS factory just two weeks ago, now ZF followed the step of APS and published the same watches. If you ask me which factory makes the best, I would say it is a correct choice no matter which factory you buy from. ZF had cooperation with APS before, but from now on, I am more convinced of their bromance.

Like ZF, APS also has been in this industry for many years, but it is still younger than ZF. When APS just entered this industry, ZF has been famous for some time because of some Panerai replica watches they made, for example, the PAM 127, this is a very hot replica Panerai watch in the past, ZF made it really good and competed with Noob. In 2016, APS seized an opportunity and cooperated with YL factory, both developed an important movement together, which is the clone 51011 that was later used in the replica IWC Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve watches made by ZF. So, we know that the famous watch Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve from ZF is actually using the movement given by APS factory. Even YL also published the replicas of Portuguese 7 Days Power Reserve, but they still could not compete with ZF at that time, some people said that ZF has better finish on the case and dial on this replica watch.

Why did APS give movement 51011 to ZF? I guess they need the protection of ZF, because APS just entered this industry and ZF has a strong background. Do you still remember the raid ? I do not know exactly whether it happened two or three years ago, many big factories were closed, including Noob and ARF, but ZF and APS survived.

Next, it is about the super clone AP 3120 movement, which is also developed by APS factory. In the past, ZF used a Miyota 9015 movement in the Royal Oak 15400, on the basis of Miyota 9015, ZF added extra plates and made decorations to let final movement look closer to genuine AP 3120. Several years later, APS spent money and developed a super clone AP 3120 movement, as far as I know, this movement was manufactured by Shanghai xx xx. Because of this movement, the case thickness of replica Royal Oak 15400 and 15500 is much thinner and closer to that of genuines. By the way, APS also gave this movement to ZF, that’s also a big reason why 15400 and 15500 from ZF are being sold so well. Seeing from this thing, the friendship between ZF and APS is really solid. APS factory has also published the replicas of 15400 and 15500, they continuously improve them, but their watches are still not sold as well as ZF.

APS acted faster than ZF but they are always thinking of the latter.
