Audemars Piguet – Susan Reviews on Replica Watches

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

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

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.

The latest news in our market

In October, there are some new factories appeared in our market, the most popular one is the Gold Factory, which makes Daytona with improved weight, actually before Gold Factory, we have heard that VS opened a new branch named TED to make the 42mm YachtMaster with improved weight. We know genuine Rolex watches are made with solid platinum, yellow gold or rose gold, so these Rolex replicas, whether made by Clean or VS, always have a ligher weight than the genuines, so Gold Factory and TED tried their best to increase the weight of the replica Rolex watches to make them have a closer weight to genuine, Gold Factory now has made a lot of Daytona replicas in this type, they are very popular in the market, I think they will gain a great success in this field.

Now if you ask me which factory makes the best Daytona and which factory occupies the largest market share of replica Rolex, I will say it is Clean, their Rolex replicas are really being sold very well, especially the Daytona and GMT-Master II, they face no competitors or I could say Clean has beaten all competitors. However, a problem shows up, that is Clean won’t often improves the details of their watches like before, after all they have achieved such a great success, but as customers, we want the replicas to be perfect, so I think the appearance of these new Daytonas made by Gold Factory with improved weight will push Clean to upgrade their watches continuously, otherwise their market share will be slowly eroded by Gold Factory, because Gold really solve a big problem.

In one of my previous posts, I mentioned that GF has bee closed due to the raid, now this factory back to the business one week ago, they have a new name, which is called GO, they usually released watches once every five days.

The last news is about APS factory, they also start to add weight on their Daytona and AP 15400. APS factory started to make Daytona watches about two months ago, but this project has failed, nobody has bought their Daytona in the last two months, so they improved the weight, but I do not think they will get a good result, because Dandong 4130 movement has been tested and proven to be very stable and reliable, the Shanghai 4130 which APS Daytona uses still not recognized by us. However, at the same time APS factory also published the AP 15400 with improved weight, but I think they will succeed in AP. In the past, this replica AP 15400 with leather band is only 103 grams, after being added with weight, the entire replica watch is about 140 grams, you know the genuine watch is more than 150 grams, but less than 160 grams. How did APS factory add weight on this AP? They added tungsten steel in case and case back.

APS Factory Replica Audemars Piguet Diver 15707 Ceramic Black and White

Replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Diver 15707 Black

Besides 15400 and 15500, the model ROO Diver 15707 is also one of the best-selling replica APs in the past years. J12 made the best replica AP 15707 in the past, if you still have one AP replica made by J12 factory, then you are very lucky, because this factory has been closed for years, and you can not find any other replica watches that have the same quality case and bracelet as J12. Just months ago, another factory named IP published the replicas of AP Diver 15707, the finish is ok, but not as good as the ones made by J12, I do not recommend. But this new AP 15707 made by APS factory is good, I recommend, now it should be the best one in our market.

Replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Diver 15707 White

APS factory has been manufacturing replicas of Audemars Piguet for years, we know their 15400 and 15500, but few people know the clone 3120 movement used by Z Factory is also developed by APS factory, and the movement 52010 used in the ZF’s Portuguese 7 Days is also from APS, that’s true, just few people mention this. So today, you know that APS has really made a big contribution to this industry.

The new 15707 from APS has two models available now, one is black, the other is white, both are made with real ceramic and use the latest super clone 3120 movement. On the black 15707, you can see obvious brushing on the ceramic case and bezel, which features high-glossy polished screws in contrast. The case finish is good, but still can not compare that of J12 AP, the case is exactly 1:1 cloned, but still a little thicker than the case of genuine watch, because it is solid ceramic, the watch feels very heavy. There is a crown at 10 o’clock, when you rotate it, the inner diving bezel will move. The crown at 3 o’clock can be used for time and date adjustment.

The dial is ok, the biggest difference lies in the lattices, whose size and spacing are different from genuine. Til today, the lattices on AP replicas, which factory makes closest to genuine, it is ZF, but in subtle detail, there is still difference if you compare genuine watch and the replica carefully. The lume is strong, in order to last as long as the dial lume on genuine watch, please make your replica watch absorb enough sun light during the day.

The replica watch is equipped with a clone 3120 automatic movement, which is the best 3120 in our market, the movement has been improved two times by APS factory. The movement also used in the ZF or APS 15400, it is very accurate and stable, no people have complained APS 15400 due to the quality of the movement.

APS Factory Replica AP Royal Oak 1017 ALYX 9SM

This is a custom-made Audemars Piguet watch that features the classic octagonal bezel of Royal Oak, many people call it “Iron Man”, its entire body is made with stainless steel, it is a whole piece of metal, no other material. The dial is also stainless steel, without hour markers, there are only hands and a date window at 3 o’clock, it looks very clean and just in line with the “Iron Man” style which the whole watch wants to present. I am not sure which company makes this custom-made AP Royal Oak, but some people absolutely wants to try with this fresh face.

This time APS factory finally released a new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak replica watch before ZF, I hope they can be like this every time in next years and surpass ZF in the field of making replicas of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. APS factory has the potential to be the number 1 in making replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watches such as 15400 and 15500, these two models occupy a large market share of the replica Audemars Piguet, the movement now becomes the biggest advantage of APS factory, there 3120 movement used in the Royal Oak 15400 is considered to be the best clone 3120 movement in our market, better than the ZF 3120, now just need to continue to improve the case and bracelet finish, then APS will be the leader of the market, just like JF, which has been the boss of replica Audemars Piguet watches for more than 10 years. We all hope that APS can be the boss in the field of Audemars Piguet, so that customers won’t be confused when picking up the best replicas of Audemars Piguet.

No need to talk how high quality the case and bracelet are completed in, like other stainless steel Royal Oak Audemars Piguet replica watches, this “Iron Man” also feels heavy on hand, the polygonal steel bezel is installed correctly and fits the case very well. There is one way to quickly know whether the finish on the case and bracelet is good or not, just use your hands to feel the whole watch, especially each edge or corner on the case and bracelet, usually big factories will finish these subtle places very well, you won’t have any scratch feeling. The replica AP Royal Oak “Iron Man”, APS factory installs a super clone 3120 automatic movement inside, it is the best clone 3120 calibre in our market, even the 3120 from ZF can not compare with it, it is easy for you judge if it is a super clone movement, there is a display window from the back, where you can see each component. This 3120 developed by APS factory is not simply based on Miyota 9015 and being added with extra decorated plates, it is totally not, but a better version.

IP Factory Replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Diver 15720 with 4308 Movement

About Royal Oak Diver watch replica, it was very popular in the past, now its popularity has dropped a lot, whether Royal Oak Diver model 15703 or 15710, JF made the best replicas of them in the past, they have upgraded them to the latest V10 edition, with the closure of JF manufacturer, super clones of 15710 and 15703 have been unavailable for a long time til ZF started to make the replicas, but it seems like people have more recognition of the other Royal Oak watches from ZF such as 15400 and 15500. Fortunately APS factory becomes more powerful, after JF, APS now becomes the only one factory that has some ability to research and develop better movements for AP replicas, the 3120 movement from APS now is the best clone 3120 movement used in their Royal Oak 15400, besides, APS factory published the V2 edition of replica 15710 in July, this is a good news for us, I think that’s the only super clone 15710 in our market.

Now, back to the new Royal Oak Diver watch 15720, both ZF and APS do not make the replica 15720, now if you want to get a good replica 15720, there are two options, BF and IPF, between the two, IPF is better. The photos I shared in this post are from IPF. About this factory, I do not know the meaning of its name “IP”. The 15720 replica from IPF has four color options, black, grey, green and blue, they all good, especially when I see its movement that is modified on basis of Japanese Miyota 9015, I think the quality of the replica won’t be bad. IP factory makes the 15720 with solid stainless steel that is brushed, the case has a diameter of 42mm and thickness is up to 14.2mm. The black bezel uses ceramic material, which is vertically brushed on the front, while being polished on the edge of the bezel. The case of AP is the most angular one I have ever seen, it is difficult to be replicated especially when needed to be done 1:1 as original, the big AP case, if not finished well, it is easy to notice the difference, I really like the case on AP made by JF, they always made the most beautiful case before.

The dial layout looks more compact than that of 15710, actually I like the dial style of 15710 more. On the dial of 15720, the hour markers become wider, but can be applied with more luminous material, so the dial has a stronger lume in dark conditions, the inner bezel features a yellow diving stripe with yellow numeral markers, this also enhances the readability of the black dial. About the movement you see through the crystal back, there are golden engravings on the plates and a big brand AP logo on the skeleton rotor, IP factory spent some time and effort to modify the movement and it is a good clone 4308, the movement is very stable and will have few issues when you wear the watch, but there is still a big gap between this clone 4308 and a super clone one. I think APS and ZF will make replica 15720 in future, but not in 2022, perhaps in the second half year of 2023.

APS Factory Replica AP Royal Oak 15407

This is the latest work from APS factory, now among APS collection, most of them are Audemars Piguet replica watches, there are popular models of Royal Oak 15400, which is the flagship model of APS factory because of the best clone 3120 movement inside. How about AP replicas from APS? I think the quality is good, especially the movement used in AP 15400, however, APS is still not among the ranks of big watch factories because the watch’s finish on the case and bracelet is not top quality, which can not be compared with ZF or J12 that have produced AP replicas for a long time.

Replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Openwork

This time, APS factory published two models of AP Royal Oak 15407, one is stainless steel, the other is rose gold, both have a skeleton dial and use 3132 movement.

The stainless steel replica AP is made with 316L stainless steel, the case has a diameter of 41mm and is measured to be 10mm in thickness. On the front of the case, you can see fine vertical brushing, the octagonal bezel is an exact clone of the original and has polished edges that highly contrast with the brushed parts on the case. About the crown, the engraving “AP” in sanded finish is not that good like you see on ZF AP, so APS factory still needs to improve it.

The dial is skeleton, a lot of machine parts you can see from this openwork dial, many people like this dial style, some already sent emails to ask me if there are good replicas of this skeleton AP before, now it is in stock. I do not like the watch with such a type of openwork dial, it is a bold design, and I like the standard model 15400 and 15500 more.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15407 Movement

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15407 Bracelet

At last, I want to talk about 3K factory. We know they produced replicas of Patek Philippe Nautilus and Aquanaut, but now ordering Patek Philippe products is really slow, today, I found the reason, 3K now starts to produce Daytona, and they have another name, which is BT, their Daytona is very expensive, but the good news is that they use a super clone 4130 movement.
